BC-Bench: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/create-release/SKILL.md

create-release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/BC-Bench. It costs 56 tokens per session (683 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-note preparation workflow for BC-Bench, a benchmark used to evaluate coding agents. It reviews changes since the previous version and drafts notes for maintainer review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing a BC-Bench release, reviewing merged pull requests, or recording the agent-harness and development-tool versions included in a release.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of deciding which merged changes could affect evaluation results and matching the project's existing release-note style.

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

create-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 1mo 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.

Create Release

Prepare release notes for maintainer review. Do not change versions, commit, tag, push, or create a GitHub release unless explicitly asked.

Workflow

  1. Establish the range: Read the version from pyproject.toml and use v<version> as the target tag. If that tag exists, use it as the target ref and select the preceding semantic-version tag. Otherwise, use HEAD as the target ref and select the latest reachable semantic-version tag. Ignore non-version tags such as evaluation-run tags. Exclude uncommitted changes and stop if the range is empty, ambiguous, or not fully available locally.
  2. Study the format: Fetch and read the bodies of the three most recently published releases from microsoft/BC-Bench. Match their concise paragraph style, spacing, and # Versions section; do not use GitHub's automatically generated notes as the draft.
  3. Screen merged PRs: Treat each commit in the complete <previous-tag>..<target-ref> range as a merged PR. Review its title, changed files, and PR description, inspecting the diff only as needed to determine whether it may affect evaluation results. Classify every PR as included or omitted, but do not produce a PR-by-PR summary.
  4. Select release-note content: Include only changes that may affect evaluation results or their comparability, such as dataset and gold-answer changes, evaluation logic, prompts, models, agent harnesses, tools, result schemas, and execution behavior. Combine related PRs into outcome-focused paragraphs. Omit formatting, linting, tests, documentation, refactoring, dependency maintenance, and CI housekeeping unless they change benchmark behavior or reproducibility. Call out compatibility boundaries explicitly.
  5. Collect shipped versions: Read the target ref, not the uncommitted worktree, and locate the exact pins for @github/copilot, @anthropic-ai/claude-code, and Microsoft.Dynamics.BusinessCentral.Development.Tools. Confirm duplicate pins agree. Never copy versions from an older release or infer them from commit messages.
  6. Validate the draft: Ensure every claim is supported by an included PR, every PR in the range was classified, omitted PRs have no plausible evaluation impact, the target version is correct, and the three shipped versions are exact. Stop and report conflicting pins, missing history, or uncertain evaluation impact instead of guessing.

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.
