Release Process Skill

The Release Process Skill is largely coherent with its stated purpose of automating VS Code Marketplace releases and version management. It appropriately centers on PAT-based authentication and manifest synchronization. However, the credential handling design introduces non-trivial exposure risks (plaintext storage options, environment-variable exposure) and could benefit from stronger secret-management practices (e.g., scoped tokens, vault integration, ephemeral credentials, and restricted CI permissions). The data flows align with typical CI/CD publishing patterns, but the combination of token handling and automated publishing elevates security risk to MEDIUM. Treat as SUSPICIOUS to MEDIUM risk until secret-management controls are strengthened, and ensure tokens are short-lived, scoped, and never logged.
