Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of turning repository details into consistent release documentation in two languages.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions Codex.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/cuizhanlin/.codex/skills/github-release-assistant/scripts/generate_release_readme.py.

Install

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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

github-release-assistant 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate_release_readme.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.

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.

What it actually says

GitHub Release Assistant

Overview

Generate polished README files in English and Chinese using repo facts plus a small config file, following a concise “Redmax-style” layout. Produce README.md + README.zh.md, then optionally guide a clean git commit and push.

Workflow

  1. Collect repo facts from config.json, README.md, PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md, requirements*.txt, and docs/.
  2. Ask for missing details or have the user fill release_assistant.json (see assets/release_config.example.json).
  3. Run the generator script to write README files.
  4. Review the diff with the user and refine content if needed.
  5. If requested, stage/commit/push changes with explicit confirmation.

Quick Start

  • Create or edit release_assistant.json in the repo root (optional but recommended).
  • Run: python3 /Users/cuizhanlin/.codex/skills/github-release-assistant/scripts/generate_release_readme.py --project-root <repo> --language both --overwrite
  • Verify README.md and README.zh.md.

Git Workflow (Commit + Push)

  • Run git status and git diff to show changes.
  • Ask for confirmation before git add, git commit, and git push.
  • Propose a concise commit message (e.g., docs: add bilingual README), and wait for approval.

Resources

  • Script: scripts/generate_release_readme.py.
  • Templates: assets/readme_template_en.md, assets/readme_template_zh.md.
  • Config example: assets/release_config.example.json.
  • Style cues: references/redmax_style.md.
  • Outline guide: references/readme_outline.md.
Files

What ships with it

6 files 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.
