What problem does it solve?
This skill prevents the common pitfalls of software releases by enforcing strict, automated preflight checks that ensure code quality, security, and documentation are ready before a release is ever cut.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Preflight Gates: Validates test status, branch cleanliness, and incident logs to ensure the repository is in a releasable state.
- Evidence-Based Versioning: Generates semver recommendations based on actual diffs and merged PRs rather than guesswork.
- Dual-Audience Documentation: Automatically drafts release notes tailored for both technical developers and end-users.
- Use Case: Use this skill when you are ready to ship a new version to ensure you haven't missed any breaking changes or security scans, and to generate a professional draft release for final human approval.
