releases-cli SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

releases-cli from buildinternet/releases is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use the `releases` CLI to search, browse, and read the Release Notes Index from the terminal — the keyless, agent-friendly peer of the Releases MCP. Activate when the user mentions "releases CLI", runs a `releases` command, asks how to install it, wants to look up releases, sources, orgs, collections, or changelogs from a shell, or wants to publish a changelog from CI with `releases publish`.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# releases CLI

The `releases` CLI is a first-class, **keyless** way to query the public changelog registry at [releases.sh](https://releases.sh) — the terminal peer of the Releases MCP. Anyone can search, tail, list, and inspect releases with no account and no API key; it talks to `api.releases.sh` by default with zero configuration. (A separate, invite-only `admin` surface exists for maintainers — see the short note at the end — but reads never need it.)

Reach for the CLI when the user is working in a shell or wants piped/scriptable output; reach for the MCP when you're answering conversationally with typed tools. They cover the same registry.

## Install

```bash
brew install buildinternet/tap/releases    # recommended on macOS / Linux
npm install -g @buildinternet/releases      # or via npm
npx @buildinternet/releases search "react"  # one-off, no install
```

## Reader commands (no auth, no key)

Full reference: **[references/reader.md](references/reader.md)**. The shape is verb-first, and every command takes `--json`.

```bash
releases search "breaking change"      # unified search: orgs, catalog, collections, releases
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add buildinternet/releases/releases-cli@sha256:93937607858ead10

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.331f43c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
