medcore-cut-release

What problem does it solve?

This skill removes the error-prone, multi-step process of cutting a real MedCore GitHub release—ensuring the correct CHANGELOG section is stamped, the tag points to the intended commit, and the release is published cleanly after a successful CI gate.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Release pre-flight validation: checks main state and confirms the release.yml workflow is green before tagging or publishing.
• CHANGELOG stamping with correct layout: moves entries from [Unreleased] into a new version section while keeping a fresh [Unreleased] placeholder above it.
• Correct GitHub release publication: creates an annotated tag at HEAD (after the stamp commit) and publishes a non-draft GitHub release using the versioned CHANGELOG section as the release notes.
• Version bump guidance: derives or suggests patch/minor/major bump rationale based on commits since the previous tag and whether breaking changes are documented.
• Deployment-correlation transparency: includes guidance to cite the validated SHA in the release body, while acknowledging that the tagged stamp commit is docs-only.
