Description
Universal release workflow. Auto-detects version files and changelogs. Supports Node.js, Python, Rust, Claude Plugin, and generic projects. Use when user say...
Usage Guidance
This skill looks like a reasonable release helper but is missing important operational details. Before installing or running it: (1) confirm you have git and the GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated — the skill will call them; (2) understand it will read and modify version and changelog files in your repo and may require committing/pushing changes or network access to GitHub; (3) verify what credentials/permissions the agent will use (local gh auth or a token) and avoid providing broad repo or org-level tokens unless you trust the skill; (4) run with the provided --dry-run option first and review changes locally before applying or pushing them. If the vendor/source can provide an updated SKILL.md that explicitly lists required binaries and credential guidance, re-evaluate after those corrections.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: universal-release
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle defines a universal release workflow for various project types (Node.js, Python, Rust, etc.). It automates version bumping, multi-language changelog generation, and git operations (commit, tag, push). While it performs high-privilege actions like modifying files and pushing to remote repositories, it includes a mandatory user confirmation step (Step 8) and follows standard development practices (SemVer, Conventional Commits). No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or obfuscation was found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to automate releases, but the metadata declares no required binaries or credentials. The runtime instructions call git and the GitHub CLI (gh) and read/write repository files — these are necessary for the stated purpose but are not listed as requirements.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run git commands, call 'gh pr view' and 'gh repo view', scan and modify changelog and version files, and insert content into files. It implicitly requires network/GitHub access and permission to write repository files, yet the instructions do not declare or constrain those actions, nor do they explain how PR numbers are resolved or how/when changes are committed/pushed.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec (lowest install risk). However, lacking an install section increases opacity because it relies on external binaries (git, gh) and local repository state that must already exist on the host.
Credentials
The skill requires access to repository files and to GitHub via the 'gh' CLI, which implies credentials (local gh auth or GITHUB_TOKEN) and network access. No environment variables, tokens, or credential requirements are declared, making the credential needs disproportionate to the published metadata.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always: true and does not request persistent/global agent changes. It is user-invocable and can be invoked autonomously, which is the platform default and expected for a workflow skill.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install universal-release - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/universal-release - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
