TMDb: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/cut-release/SKILL.md

cut-release is a skill for Claude Code from adamayoung/TMDb. It costs 75 tokens per session (3,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A controlled procedure for turning merged changes in the TMDb project into a versioned Git release and a GitHub release. SemVer is a versioning convention using major, minor, and patch numbers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to determine the next release version, prepare release notes, tag the repository, and publish the corresponding GitHub release.
Why use it?
It checks the branch, tags, CI status, and release notes before publishing, while requiring approval before the irreversible tagging step.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cut-release scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 250 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cut Release

Takes main from "a pile of merged PRs" to "a tagged, published release".

This skill is never headless. Every other skill in this repo may decide for itself; this one may not. A tag is the one artifact consumers resolve against, and publishing one is effectively irreversible: SwiftPM hands a new minor or patch to everyone inside the current from: range the moment it exists, a new major reaches everyone who has since bumped, and deleting a tag does not un-fetch it from anyone who already resolved. Phases 1–5 are read-only and local. Phase 6 is a hard stop. Phases 7–9 run only on an explicit go-ahead.

If invoked with no human able to answer, run to the hard stop, print the summary, and exit. Do not tag.

Phase 1 — Preflight

Stop on any failure; report which one and what to do.

  • On main, clean tree, in sync with origin/main (git status --porcelain, git rev-list --count main..origin/main).
  • git fetch --tags; establish the last release: git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1.
  • CI is green on the current main tip: gh api repos/adamayoung/TMDb/commits/<sha>/check-runs. This is the entry check — the commit that actually gets tagged does not exist yet (Phase 7 creates it), and Phase 7 re-checks that one. Starting from a red main just means finding out later.
  • There is something to release — at least one commit since the last tag that is not purely a tag-housekeeping commit.

Phase 2 — Work out the version

Two independent signals. They must agree, or you stop.

Signal A — the CHANGELOG (authoritative). The open ## [X.Y.Z] section at the top (no date = unreleased) is the proposal. Count **Breaking:** markers inside it, and read the section headings:

  • any **Breaking:**major
  • otherwise any ### Added content → minor
  • otherwise (### Fixed / ### Changed only) → patch

Signal B — the commits (cross-check). git log <lasttag>..HEAD, bucketed by gitmoji. Consumer-visible: feature, 🐛 fix, ♻️ refactor, 🔒 security, ⚡️ perf. Not consumer-visible: 🔧 chore, 📝 docs, 👷 CI, tests, 📦 build. Count multibyte-safely — sort | uniq -c over emoji collapses distinct ones in a non-UTF-8 locale and will hand you a confidently wrong tally.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
