SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Maintainers of the NemoClaw repository need a consistent end-of-day routine to check release progress, handle straggler PRs and issues, summarize work for QA, cut version tags, and prepare release announcements without missing critical verification steps. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Release Progress Tracking: Runs version-target and version-progress scripts to show shipped versus open items for the target version. - Straggler Management: Lists open labeled PRs and issues via GitHub CLI and plans automatic carry-forward to the next patch label after the tag. - QA Handoff Summary: Generates a summary of commits since the last tag, risky areas touched, and suggested QA test focus areas. - Tag Cut with E2E Gating: Loads the cut-release-tag flow, requires pre-tag E2E evidence or itemized maintainer exceptions, and drafts release notes. - Use Case: At the end of a workday, a maintainer invokes the skill to verify v0.0.8 progress, confirm the dated changelog PR is merged, cut the tag, and receive a shareable handoff summary listing shipped items and items moved to v0.0.9. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run the evening release handoff for NemoClaw and confirm each step before the tag is cut.

FAQPage Schema
How do I cut a release tag for the NemoClaw repository?

Invoke the evening handoff flow, which checks version progress, verifies the pre-tag changelog PR is merged, reviews E2E evidence, then loads cut-release-tag to tag the confirmed commit as vX.Y.Z. The workflow then moves latest, carries open work forward, and deletes the released label.

How does the skill handle open PRs that miss the release tag?

Post-tag housekeeping automatically moves all open labeled PRs and issues to the next patch version label and deletes the released label. Items that should leave the release flow must be unlabeled before the release confirmation phrase is given.

What E2E evidence is required before cutting a NemoClaw tag?

The candidate SHA needs applicable exact Brev Launchable evidence from the e2e.yaml workflow, including a successful Exact staging Brev Launchable job with matching identity. Each missing or invalid result requires its own itemized maintainer exception with run and job URLs.

Can the tag be cut without the dated changelog docs PR merged?

No. The release-prep docs PR must create or update a dated child of docs/changelog/ with the exact version heading and be merged, or be explicitly waived with a reason naming the missing changelog entry, before the release plan captures the commit.

What happens if nothing shipped during the day?

The skill asks the maintainer whether to skip the tag for that day. It never cuts a tag or hands off release notes without explicit user confirmation.
