FAQPage Schema
How do I automate creating a release PR from a branch?▼

Automating a release PR involves pushing a release branch to origin and opening a PR against the target branch. This Skill orchestrates git operations, argument parsing, and PR planning to generate merge-ready release branches in a single step.

What inputs do I need to automate a git release workflow?▼

Automating a git release workflow requires a target branch and a version number as inputs. These parameters allow the release tooling to parse arguments, calculate deltas, apply version tagging, and generate the corresponding PR plan.

How does release branch automation handle version tagging and commit aggregation?▼

Release branch automation coordinates version tagging and commit aggregation by orchestrating shared release scripts. It captures tickets, calculates deltas from the target branch, and prepares the release notes directly within the generated PR plan.

Can I update an existing release PR instead of creating a new one?▼

Yes, you can update an existing release PR. The release workflow supports both creating a new PR and updating an existing one against the target branch during the git release branch preparation process.

Do I need any external dependencies to run the release PR workflow?▼

No external dependencies are required to run the release PR workflow. The Skill acts as a thin dispatcher over shared release tooling, coordinating git operations and PR planning without needing additional installed components.

Is manual git operations required when preparing a merge-ready release branch?▼

Manual git operations are not required when preparing a merge-ready release branch. The automation handles pushing the release branch to origin and opening the PR against the target branch, capturing commits and tickets automatically.
