How do I automate a GitHub release workflow with quality gates?▼

A GitHub release workflow automates versioning, changelog updates, and deployment readiness. It validates quality gates like PHPCS, PHPStan, and frontend builds before creating a labeled PR and tagging the release from main.

What is the process to update version files and changelogs for a GitHub release?▼

Updating version files and changelogs involves creating a release branch, bumping versions in style.css, and automating changelog entries. This skill handles those updates before opening a labeled PR to main for merge.
