High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create and release a hotfix for a critical bug in an Elixir library?▼

A hotfix is an emergency patch released outside your normal cycle for critical bugs, security vulnerabilities, or data loss. This Skill automates the process: create a hotfix branch, apply minimal fixes, add regression tests, bump the patch version, run full tests, and publish to Hex.pm within hours.

What steps should I follow to patch a security vulnerability in ash_cookie_consent?▼

Confirm the issue is critical, create a hotfix branch, apply only the necessary fix, add regression tests, update the CHANGELOG, bump the patch version, run targeted and full tests, commit and tag, merge to main, publish to Hex.pm, and issue release notes and user communications.

Can I automate publishing a hotfix release to Hex.pm?▼

Yes. This Skill guides you through the complete automated workflow: it enforces minimal fixes, ensures regression tests pass, manages version bumping, and automates publishing to Hex.pm alongside GitHub release creation for rapid distribution.

When should I use a hotfix branch instead of a regular release?▼

Use a hotfix for production-impact incidents: security vulnerabilities, data loss, crashes, or other critical defects that require immediate deployment. Hotfixes enforce minimal changes and rapid testing to minimize risk while maintaining emergency response speed.

What testing is required before releasing a hotfix to production?▼

Run both targeted tests specific to the bug fix and the full test suite to ensure the fix resolves the issue without introducing regressions. This Skill enforces both testing levels before allowing publication to Hex.pm.
