toolhive-release

A ToolHive release helper that reviews commits since the previous version tag and prepares the release process, including a recommendation for the version-number change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cutting a release, checking what changed since the last release, choosing a version bump, or triggering the release workflow.
Why use it?
It reduces the guesswork of deciding whether changes require a major, minor, or patch release and helps prepare the release pull request.

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

toolhive-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 2d 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.

ToolHive Release

Automates the ToolHive release process by analyzing changes and triggering the release PR workflow.

When to Use

  • When cutting a new ToolHive release
  • When checking what's changed since the last release
  • When deciding between patch, minor, or major version bump
  • When the user says "release", "cut a release", "new version", or "version bump"

Instructions

Step 1: Find the Last Release

git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1

This returns the most recent version tag (e.g., v0.8.3).

Step 2: List Commits Since Last Release

git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges

Count the commits:

git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges | wc -l

Step 3: Categorize Changes

Analyze each commit and categorize into:

Category Description Version Impact
New Features New functionality, new commands, new APIs Minor bump
Bug Fixes Fixes to existing functionality Patch bump
Breaking Changes API changes, removed features, incompatible changes Major bump
Improvements Enhancements to existing features, refactoring Patch or Minor
Tests/CI Test additions, CI/CD changes No impact
Documentation Doc updates, README changes No impact
Dependencies Dependency updates (Renovate PRs) Patch bump

Step 4: Recommend Version Bump

Based on the categorization:

  • Major (X.0.0): Any breaking changes present
  • Minor (0.X.0): New features without breaking changes
  • Patch (0.0.X): Only bug fixes, dependency updates, improvements

Present the recommendation with justification to the user.

Step 5: Trigger the Release Workflow

IMPORTANT: Present the analysis and recommendation to the user and WAIT for explicit confirmation before proceeding.

After user confirms the bump type, use the GitHub MCP tool to trigger the workflow:

mcp__github__run_workflow(
  owner: "stacklok",
  repo: "toolhive",
  workflow_id: "create-release-pr.yml",
  ref: "main",
  inputs: { "bump_type": "<patch|minor|major>" }
)

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.
