SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Publishing a release usually requires coordinating version discovery, tests and builds, tagging, pushing, and GitHub release creation without forgetting required checks or prerequisites.

Core Features & Use Cases

Release readiness validation: Confirms a justfile exists and that it contains a publish recipe before attempting any release actions.
Version discovery and confirmation: Detects the current version and asks the user to confirm before running the publish workflow to reduce accidental releases.
Failure visibility and common troubleshooting: Surfaces full command output when publishing fails and highlights typical blockers such as missing gh, authentication issues, or a dirty working tree.

Quick Start

Ask to run the publish skill for your project by saying: /publish
