prepare
75 / 100 · Review before installing
Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a security skill usually runs scanners and checks websites.
Draft release-preparation artefacts for `<upstream>`: the planning issue, the version-bump and changelog prep PR (with the first-release review of what the source archive ships), the post-release dev-version bump PR, and, for ASF projects, the one-time `automated-signing` setup. Every output is a draft the RM confirms; nothing is merged, filed or sent.

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'prepare' ~/.claude/skills/'prepare' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
