What problem does it solve?
Older prompts referencing promote-beta need a compatibility entrypoint that redirects to the current release-lanes workflow, which handles beta promotion, branch sync, and release monitoring as one unified lane.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Compatibility Routing: Accepts legacy
promote-beta invocations and redirects them to the release-lanes skill for end-to-end beta/latest lane maintenance.
- Dry-Run Promotion: Triggers the promote workflow in dry-run mode via
gh workflow run promote.yml --ref next -f dry_run=true before any real promotion.
- Branch Sync: Runs direct
main -> next synchronization through tooling/scripts/release-branch-prs.mjs sync-main-to-next with dry-run and push modes.
- Use Case: A maintainer following an old runbook types
promote-beta; the skill routes them to release-lanes, creates a lane plan scratchpad, and executes a dry-run promotion before the real release.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to run a promote-beta dry run for the next branch and follow the release-lanes workflow for the full promotion.
