.claude/skills/release-dbt-mcp/SKILL.md

release-dbt-mcp is a skill for Claude Code from dbt-labs/dbt-mcp. It costs 18 tokens per session (324 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release procedure for dbt-mcp, a package that connects dbt data workflows to other tools, and publishes new versions to PyPI, Python’s package repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start the release workflow, monitor GitHub actions, complete the required environment approval, and verify the package appears on PyPI.
Why use it?
It provides the required sequence for creating, approving, merging, and checking a release instead of handling those steps ad hoc.

This is dbt-labs/dbt-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dbt-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dbt-mcp configures →

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

release-dbt-mcp 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

  1. Initiate the Create release PR GitHub workflow. Use the auto for the bump input. Don't set the prerelease input.
  2. Wait for this to start and then poll the status of this running workflow.
  3. Once it finishes successfully, approve & squash merge (gh pr merge --squash --admin) the PR that was created. This repo does not allow merge commits. This is an autogenerated PR, so it is okay to bypass CI. This is the only case that bypassing CI is okay.
  4. Merging this PR will kick off the Release dbt-mcp workflow.
  5. Wait for this to start and then poll the status of this running workflow. When the workflow waits for GitHub environment approval, open the page with open <url>
  6. Ask the user to continue once they have approved the GitHub environment.
  7. Once the user continues, continue polling the status of the Release dbt-mcp workflow.
  8. When that workflow has finished successfully. Ensure that the new version of dbt-mcp is on PyPI by checking the JSON API at https://pypi.org/pypi/dbt-mcp/json (the HTML page is JS-rendered and won't work with WebFetch).
  9. Report to the user the status of all GitHub workflows that ran and the status of the release.

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.
