What is android-release-bump?

A workflow for preparing and validating Android app releases. It updates the app's release version, writes localized Google Play notes, and can build and publish the release when requested.

Use it to choose a version change, update build files, run tests and checks, perform optional emulator smoke tests, create a signed Android App Bundle, and optionally upload it to Google Play Internal Testing.

It coordinates the many release tasks and checks involved in shipping an Android update.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00091	$0.00789
Opus 5.5	$0.00036	$0.00316
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00158
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00079

Security

Grade A, and why

android-release-bump 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 2mo 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.

Android Release Bump

Workflow

Validate preconditions: run on main, require clean working tree, require keystore.properties, and require play-api-key.json only when upload is requested.
Resolve app name in this order: existing tag prefix, settings.gradle.kts rootProject.name, app/build.gradle.kts namespace or applicationId, then ask the user.
Read current versionName and versionCode from app/build.gradle.kts.
Discover the latest release tag and commits since that tag.
Recommend major, minor, or patch using references/versioning.md, then wait for explicit confirmation.
Update versionName and increment versionCode by +1 from its current configured value.
Detect locales, generate app/src/main/play/release-notes/<locale>/default.txt, and enforce limits from references/locales.md.
Show release notes for review, then wait for explicit confirmation before committing.
Run verification: ./gradlew assembleDebug && ./gradlew detekt && ./gradlew test.
If device or emulator QA is requested, load references/emulator-validation.md. Prefer a headless AVD with -no-window for scripted smoke checks, keep it running while you iterate with adb, and only shut it down when validation is complete or the user asks.
Commit release notes and version bump as separate commits, then create annotated tag v<app-name>-X.Y.Z.
Show pre-push summary and wait for explicit confirmation before pushing main and the tag.
Build signed bundle with ./gradlew :app:copyReleaseBundle.
Create a GitHub release with gh release create <tag> --title "<tag>" --notes "<en-US release notes>" --target main.
If upload is requested, show upload plan and wait for explicit confirmation before ./gradlew publishReleaseBundle.
Print completion summary format from references/recovery.md.

What ships with it

5 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.
