Tag-driven releases: pushing a vX.Y.Z tag builds the sdist and wheel with uv build and publishes them to PyPI with uv publish via Trusted Publishing — no stored token. CI gates every push; Dependabot keeps dependencies and the action pins fresh. This layers on the layout and Makefile from the python-project skill. For the publishing and Dependabot rationale and the full ecosystem matrix, see [reference.md](reference.md).
Python Release is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the languages sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/python-release/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when releasing or publishing a Python package to PyPI, running uv build to make a wheel and sdist, running uv publish, configuring Trusted Publishing or a tag-triggered release workflow, writing a GitHub Actions CI workflow that runs ruff format/ruff check/ty (or pyright)/pytest for a uv project, versioning a package, or adding Dependabot coverage for uv and GitHub Actions to a Python repo.
The Python Release Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 158,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/python-release curl -L https://claudskills.com/skills/python-release/SKILL.md \ -o ~/.claude/skills/python-release/SKILL.md
Or just download SKILL.md directly and drop it into ~/.claude/skills/python-release/. Claude Code auto-discovers it on next session.
Skills live at ~/.claude/skills/python-release/SKILL.md on macOS/Linux, or %USERPROFILE%\.claude\skills\python-release\SKILL.md on Windows. See the full install guide for step-by-step instructions.

The ClaudSkills desktop app installs any skill directly into ~/.claude/skills/ with one click — no terminal required. Pro starts at $9/mo or $149 lifetime.
For the full experience including quality scoring and one-click install features for each skill — upgrade to Pro.
SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/python-release/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Python Release is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
