skill:jimliu/baoyu-skills#release-skills

Universal release workflow. Auto-detects version files and changelogs. Supports Node.js, Python, Rust, Claude Plugin, GitHub Releases, annotated tags, historical release backfill, and generic projects. Use when user says "release", "发布", "new version", "bump version", "push", "推送", "release notes", "GitHub Release", or "回填 Release".

No individual findings recorded

The inconclusive verdict rests on the open questions and coverage gaps below; 4 candidate findings were refuted on review.

Open questions 3

What the analysis could not settle from the code alone.

The target skill 'release-skills' (declared in .claude/skills/release-skills/SKILL.md frontmatter) is not listed in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json plugins[0].skills, which enumerates only baoyu-* skills; confirm whether release-skills is distributed with the baoyu-skills plugin or shipped separately.
marketplace.json lists 21 baoyu-* skills but does not include release-skills; confirm how the reviewed skill at .claude/skills/release-skills is distributed and loaded within plugin '.'
Supply chain
[file request .releaserc.yml] Does the repository's .releaserc.yml define release.hooks (prepare_artifact/publish_artifact), and if so what commands would they run?
Code execution
Refuted findings 4

Candidates the review stage examined and rejected, kept for transparency.

Code execution

criticalRefutedmedium confidence

The skill instructs the agent to execute project-defined prepare_artifact/publish_artifact hooks read from .releaserc.yml, commands whose content the artifact does not ship, so hook commands from a malicious or compromised repository would run arbitrary shell code during any release.

If `release.hooks.publish_artifact` exists, run it once per prepared target
Why it was refuted

Running a project's declared release.hooks.publish_artifact is the skill's documented Project Hook Contract that fulfills its declared core capability (generic-project release support), complete with dry-run placeholders and a user-confirmation gate, and it is explicitly declared (D14) with no undeclared residue or contradiction, so the harm and undeclared gates fail.

Code execution

criticalRefutedlow confidence

The skill instructs the agent to execute project-defined commands from `.releaserc.yml` (`release.hooks.prepare_artifact`/`publish_artifact`), running arbitrary repository-controlled commands during the release workflow without inspecting them.

If `.releaserc.yml` defines `release.hooks`, keep the release workflow generic and delegate project-specific packaging/publishing to those hooks.
Why it was refuted

Delegating packaging/publishing to .releaserc.yml release hooks is the prominently documented Project Hook Contract — the declared mechanism by which the skill supports generic projects — with mitigation gates (dry-run placeholders, Step-8 confirmation), so it is the declared core capability and fails the harm and undeclared gates rather than constituting smuggled execution.

Code execution

criticalRefutedmedium confidence

The skill instructs the agent to execute project-defined release.hooks commands (prepare_artifact/publish_artifact) read from .releaserc.yml, a configuration the skill does not ship as consumed content, so the executed commands are unreviewable.

If `prepare_artifact` exists, run it once per target before publish-related checks that need the final releasable target state.
Why it was refuted

Executing prepare_artifact/publish_artifact hooks is the skill's declared exec capability (D6/D14, no undeclared residue or contradiction) documented as a first-class contract with execution rules, dry-run placeholder, and confirmation gates, and the release workflow explicitly inspects and displays the detected configuration, so the harm and undeclared gates fail; the config's absence from the shipped artifact is inherent to per-project config, not concealment.

Agent hijacking

highRefutedlow confidence

The skill instructs the agent to run the entire release workflow (per-skill commits, version bump, changelog generation, annotated tag) even when the user only said to push with uncommitted changes, expanding a simple push request into release actions before the Step 8 confirmation gate.

If user says 
Why it was refuted

Escalating a push request into the release workflow is the skill's own declared behavior: the skill description lists 'push'/'推送' as triggers and the body explicitly instructs that 'just push' still follows all steps, while remote effects stay behind the confirmation gate ('Run only if the user confirmed remote publishing'), so this is declared core capability rather than a concealed hijack.
