git-release-workflow

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the end-to-end git release process, eliminating manual steps when preparing a new version by handling staging, committing with a standardized message, tagging, and presenting the push plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Staged Release Commit: automatically stage changed files and create a properly formatted commit with Co-Authored-By attribution.
• Annotated Tagging: generate an annotated tag using configurable patterns and messages.
• Preview Push Plan: display the remote, branch, and what will be pushed without performing the push.
• Pre/Post Hooks: optional pre-release and post-release scripts for validation, tests, or deployment tasks.
• Use Case: release a library in a monorepo by standardizing version tags and changelog updates across multiple packages.

Quick Start

Run /release to initiate the release workflow with the required inputs, then review the suggested push command and execute it when ready.
