release

release is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PrefectHQ/fastmcp. It costs 83 tokens per session (2,069 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release workflow for publishing FastMCP versions, including release notes, documentation updates, version tags, package publishing, and verification of the public website.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to preview release contents, prepare the changelog, create the tag, publish related packages, and confirm that the documentation site shows the release.
Why use it?
It helps maintain the required order of release steps and prevents documentation, tags, package publications, or generated website content from getting out of sync.

About the project

FastMCP is a Python framework for building Model Context Protocol applications, which connect language models with tools and data through servers and clients. Developers use it to expose Python functions as tools, connect to local or remote MCP servers, and build interactive tool interfaces. The catalogue includes eight skills, three instructions, two rules, one setting, and one hook for FastMCP.

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 scanned grade A 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/changelog_entry.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cutting a release

A release is a tag on the branch that owns the line: <branch> below is main for the current major and release/3.x for 3.x maintenance. Every step runs against that branch, including the docs PR, so a maintenance entry lands in the maintenance branch's own changelog above its newest 3.x entry. The tag triggers Publish fastmcp-slim to PyPI; its success fans out to fastmcp-tasks, fastmcp-remote, and fastmcp, and the fastmcp publish job opens the published-docs PR that makes gofastmcp.com reflect the release. Two hand-maintained docs files mirror every release and must be on the tagged commit, so the docs PR always lands first. PyPI releases are immutable; a bad one gets a follow-up patch, never a re-tag.

Procedure

  1. Preview what's in it.

    git fetch origin && git log v<prev>..origin/<branch> --format='%h %s'
    gh api -X POST repos/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/releases/generate-notes \
      -f tag_name=v<new> -f target_commitish=<branch> -f previous_tag_name=v<prev> --jq .body
    

    Read the two most recent releases for voice: gh release list -L 5, then gh release view <tag> on each.

  2. Propose titles. Titles are v<version>: <pun>, pun on the release's main theme from the release preview. Check prior titles with gh release list --repo PrefectHQ/fastmcp --limit 60 to avoid repeats and keep the options on brand: two to four words, a familiar phrase bent toward the theme ("Cache Me If You Can", "Trust, but Proxy", "Come Back Any Time"), and a running family for a major's prereleases ("Fourst Contact", "Group Effourt"). Offer several; the maintainer picks. Draft the handwritten notes at the same time: one or two sentences for a patch, narrative prose for a point release. Get sign-off on both before anything is pushed.

  3. Write the notes file outside the repository (a temp directory), intro only. The release title is the heading, so the file has none.

  4. Docs entries. Branch docs/changelog-<new> from origin/<branch> and insert both blocks (the last argument is the branch the notes are generated against):

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

release is a skill published in the GitHub repository PrefectHQ/fastmcp (27,528 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 2,069 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
