  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by manaflow-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Cmux Release AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/tree/main/skills/cmux-release
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux.git /tmp/cmux
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/cmux/skills/cmux-release .claude/skills/cmux-release
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Cmux Release in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Cmux Release on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Cmux Release is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

cmux Release

Prefer the /release command. It determines the new version (minor by default), gathers the Changelog line from each PR merged since the last stable tag, updates CHANGELOG.md, runs ./scripts/bump-version.sh, commits, runs ./scripts/release-pretag-guard.sh, then tags and pushes.

Changelog source

Feature PRs don't edit CHANGELOG.md. Each PR description has a ## Changelog section with one user-facing line (Added, Changed, Fixed, or Removed, present tense) or none. At release time, /release step 2 fetches every PR merged since the last v* tag in one GraphQL query and classifies it with references/changelog-lines.jq:

  • a Changelog line becomes an entry, with the PR link and -- thanks @user! for authors and reporters outside the core team (lawrencecchen, austinywang, teamleaderleo) and bots;
  • none is skipped, and so is a PR undone by a revert later in the range (a reapply leaves it live);
  • a revert of a PR that shipped in an earlier release gets its own line and is flagged for the human; reverts within the range are skipped;
  • a PR with no section, or a line without an Added/Changed/Fixed/Removed prefix, is listed for the human to check.

The release then folds any leftover ## Unreleased entries into the new version section and removes that heading.

The docs changelog page at web/app/[locale]/(landing)/docs/changelog/page.tsx renders from CHANGELOG.md, so there is no separate docs changelog source to update.

Version bumping

bash
./scripts/bump-version.sh          # minor (0.15.0 -> 0.16.0)
./scripts/bump-version.sh patch    # 0.15.0 -> 0.15.1
./scripts/bump-version.sh major    # 0.15.0 -> 1.0.0
./scripts/bump-version.sh 1.0.0    # explicit version

This updates MARKETING_VERSION and CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION. The build number auto-increments and must increase for Sparkle auto-update to work. Bump the minor version unless explicitly asked otherwise.

Tagging

bash
./scripts/release-pretag-guard.sh
git tag vX.Y.Z
git push origin vX.Y.Z
gh run watch --repo manaflow-ai/cmux

If the pretag guard fails, run ./scripts/bump-version.sh, commit the build-number bump, then retry.

Release artifacts and secrets

  • The release asset is cmux-macos.dmg, attached to the tag. The README download button points to releases/latest/download/cmux-macos.dmg.
  • Signing requires the GitHub secrets APPLE_CERTIFICATE_BASE64, APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD and APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY. CI notarization authenticates with the team App Store Connect API key (ASC_API_KEY_ID, ASC_API_ISSUER_ID, ASC_API_KEY_P8_BASE64) through scripts/ci/lib/notary-auth.sh, which decodes the key to a mode-600 temp file that the caller deletes. The local scripts/build-sign-upload.sh still uses an Apple ID and app-specific password.

Detailed reference

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Cmux Release AI skill do?

cmux release workflow, version bumping, changelog updates, pretag guard, release tags, and release asset expectations. Use when preparing or troubleshooting a cmux release.

Why use Cmux Release on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Cmux Release is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Cmux Release in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/tree/main/skills/cmux-release. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Cmux Release?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Cmux Release?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Cmux Release with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Cmux Release AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by manaflow-ai. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
