gh-release-package

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the manual, error-prone process of releasing new package versions by automating version calculation, release notes generation, and pushing the release through GitHub's Release workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Accepts an explicit semver version (e.g., 0.2.0) or a bump keyword (patch, minor, major, prepatch, preminor, premajor, prerelease) to determine the target version.
• Validates prerequisites, updates package.json without creating a local tag, generates release notes, and guards against duplicate releases.
• Applies a release workflow that reads and prepares the release from the default branch and publishes via GitHub so teams can automate CI/CD and artifact distribution.

Quick Start

Provide a version (e.g., 0.2.0) or a bump keyword (patch, minor, major, prepatch, preminor, premajor, prerelease) to trigger a new release through the repository's GitHub Release workflow.
