ca-release SKILL.md skillB

ca-release from arbiterforge/codearbiter is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/ca-release@git:20261025.6e96d09

Prepare a declared release target, or preview it with --dry-run. Derive its version and require authorization before publication.

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

# release

The single permitted path to a version tag. Routed to when the user invokes `/release [target]`. Derive the bump from the commit log, update the changelog, tag — nothing more.

**One command, any number of declared targets.** A project declares one or more release targets in `$PROJECT_ROOT/.codearbiter/release-targets.md` (grammar and parser contract: [hooks/_releaselib.py](../../hooks/_releaselib.py)'s module docstring). `/release` takes the target's name as its only argument. When `$TARGET` is omitted and the declared file names exactly one target, that target is used — a single-target project's bare `/release` behaves exactly as it always has. When more than one target is declared, `$TARGET` is required; STOP and ask rather than guessing which one a bare invocation meant. **Resolve the omitted-single-target case mechanically, never by assumption** (MEDIUM, adversarial review 2026-07-31: `tag-prefix` itself takes `$TARGET` as a REQUIRED positional argument and has no way to express "the implicit one", so naming it here was not itself enough — the mechanical step that turns an omitted target into a concrete name before `tag-prefix` is ever called has to be spelled out…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/ca-release@sha256:1e4ba6400e7ebcac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.6e96d09, 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.
