terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner: Skill for Claude Code

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

prepare-release is a skill for Claude Code from mysticaltech/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner. It costs 31 tokens per session (5,101 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A release-preparation workflow for creating changelog entries, updating version references, and drafting release notes. A release tag is a version label in Git that starts the publication process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a release, commit the preparation changes, or—when explicitly told—run the checks and publish an annotated version tag.
Why use it?
It gathers the release checks and preparation tasks in one place, while keeping tag creation separate unless the maintainer explicitly authorizes the release.

This is mysticaltech/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner 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 terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is uv run scripts/validate_tailscale_large_scale_examples.py.

About the project

Kube-Hetzner is an infrastructure project that uses Terraform or OpenTofu to deploy and maintain Kubernetes clusters on Hetzner Cloud. It is for operators who need highly available clusters based on k3s or RKE2, with networking, storage, ingress, certificates, and upgrades configured as part of the deployment.

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 C, and why

prepare-release scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Prepare Release

Overview

Prepare a new release by generating changelog entries, updating version references, and creating release notes.

Usage

/prepare-release

Release Authority and Automation

Do not create release tags just because this skill was invoked. By default, prepare only.

When Karim explicitly says to do the release (for example "release time" or "do the release"), run the full local release gates, create and push the annotated tag yourself, then confirm the lightweight publication workflow.

Default job:

  • Prepare the changelog
  • Update version references
  • Generate release notes draft
  • Commit preparation changes

Maintainer-authorized release job:

  • Verify master is clean and up to date
  • Verify the release tag does not already exist locally or remotely
  • Create and push the annotated tag
  • Let .github/workflows/publish-release.yaml publish the already-verified tag
  • Confirm the workflow and GitHub release succeeded

Current Release Automation

The repository has tag-driven release automation in .github/workflows/publish-release.yaml.

Important details:

  • The workflow runs only on pushed v* tags and has no manual-dispatch path.
  • It extracts the Markdown release content from CHANGELOG.md, specifically everything under ## [Unreleased] until the next ## [ heading.
  • It rejects a missing, duplicate, or empty [Unreleased] section.
  • It asks GitHub to append generated release notes.
  • It creates the GitHub release with ncipollo/release-action.
  • It does not run Terraform, Packer, HCloud, bootstrap, or cluster gates. Those are authoritative local pre-tag checks.

Therefore:

  • CHANGELOG.md is the release-content Markdown file.
  • Keep the target release notes under ## [Unreleased] until after the release tag is pushed.
  • Do not move [Unreleased] to [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD before tagging unless you are also bypassing the workflow and manually providing release notes.
  • Do not run gh release create during the normal path; the tag workflow owns publication. Use it only after re-running the local integrity gates if publication fails.
  • If Karim asks for a tiny release-prep correction during release, commit it on the release branch, merge it through the protected master pull-request path, then tag the resulting merged commit.
  • After a successful release, cut CHANGELOG.md: leave ## [Unreleased] genuinely empty and move the released notes under ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD. Do not insert placeholder text or a separator before the next release heading: either would pass the publication workflow's non-whitespace guard. Merge that cleanup through a release-maintenance pull request.
  • Previous release notes must never remain under ## [Unreleased]; otherwise the next tag workflow will publish stale notes again.
  • For v3-series releases, verify README's compact "Current release:" link points at the latest release tag and CHANGELOG.md carries the release content.
  • After significant releases, regenerate the machine-readable knowledge file (kube-hetzner-knowledge.jsondata) and confirm its meta.version matches the release. The Custom GPT was retired 2026-07-13 — the agent skills (installed via npx skills add kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner) are the assistant channel; the knowledge file feeds future tooling (MCP).

prepare-release is a skill published in the GitHub repository mysticaltech/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner (3,927 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 5,101 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
