Skills

Skills are short, auto-triggering playbooks that teach an AI agent how to use Releases. When you ask a release-shaped question, your agent loads the matching skill and follows it.

They work in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and any other agent that supports the agent skills format.

Install

Standalone (any agent)

Run this from the root of any project where you want the skills, using the skills CLI:

npx skills add buildinternet/releases-cli

Your agent picks them up on the next session.

Claude Code plugin

If you're on Claude Code and also want the bundled MCP connection and /releases command:

/plugin marketplace add buildinternet/releases-cli

/plugin install releases@releases

What the skills do

releases-mcp

Triggers when you ask about a library or product release — "what changed in Next.js 15?", "latest Tailwind releases", "compare Bun vs Deno." Your agent answers from current registry data instead of stale training data.

releases-cli

Triggers when you mention the releases CLI or run a releases command. Helps your agent pick the right subcommand and flags.

analyzing-releases

Triggers on competitive-intelligence asks — "what is X shipping lately", "how does X compare to Y", "what's new in observability." Picks a cohort, fetches recent releases, and summarizes themes.

finding-changelogs

Triggers when you point an agent at a product URL and ask "where's their changelog?". Looks for feeds, known providers, and common paths before falling back to scraping.

Operator skills

The bundle also ships skills for people running their own ingest — managing-sources, parsing-changelogs, classify-media-relevance, seeding-playbooks. They stay inert unless an operator-shaped task triggers them.

Source

The skill files live in the open-source CLI repo: github.com/buildinternet/releases-cli under skills/.
