tt-studio: Skill for Claude Code

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

cut-release is a skill for Claude Code from tenstorrent/tt-studio. It costs 144 tokens per session (1,212 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release procedure for TT-Studio that creates a release-candidate branch, brings in approved fixes, and publishes a version from a Git tag.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to cut and update release-candidate branches, merge an approved release into main, push the version tag, and publish the resulting GHCR container images.
Why use it?
It replaces error-prone manual release commands with the project's defined sequence and checks. It also keeps the Git tag as the single source of truth for the released version.

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

cut-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cut a TT-Studio release

The release model (CONTRIBUTING → Release Process): an rc-vX.Y.Z branch is cut from main, validated changes are cherry-picked from dev, the Rc vX.Y.Z PR is squash-merged back into main after ≥2 approvals, and the merge commit is tagged vX.Y.Z — the tag push is what builds and publishes the GHCR images. Git tags are the only version source of truth.

The three python run.py flags automate the mechanical parts. All of them are interactive, verify state before acting, and stop with a fix-it panel when something is off — prefer them over hand-rolled git/gh sequences.

0. Preflight

  • These flags need the GitHub CLI: gh auth status must pass with push access.
  • The flags never switch your checkout (the RC is created with plumbing and cherry-picked in a scratch worktree), so run them from any branch — including a dirty one. Stay on a branch that has the flags; main doesn't until this tooling ships.
  • Figure out which stage the user is at and jump to it:
    • no RC branch yet → Cut
    • RC exists, fixes landed on dev → Stabilize
    • RC approved and green → Ship

1. Cut

python run.py --make-rc-branch          # asks: bump major / minor / patch
python run.py --make-rc-branch minor    # or say it up front (also accepts vX.Y.Z)

Detects the latest release across tags, rc-v* branches, and Rc vX.Y.Z (#N) merge commits on main (they have drifted historically), cuts rc-vX.Y.Z from origin/main, pushes it, and opens the Rc vX.Y.Z PR against main with the release test-plan checklist. Relay the PR URL to the user. One release at a time: while an untagged rc-v* branch exists on origin, the cut refuses and points at --update-rc-branch / --merge-rc-branch (or closing the stray RC).

2. Notes

Draft the release notes with the draft-release-notes skill (it owns the house style — do not restate its rules here). After the user approves the draft, put it at the top of the RC PR description, keeping the test-plan checklist below:

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.
