What problem does it solve?
This skill manages the complex, multi-channel release lifecycle of the Cline VS Code extension, ensuring version monotonicity, environment-gated deployments, and safe A/B rollout coordination.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-Channel Release Management: Handles stable, nightly, and legacy hotfix publishing workflows with automated version validation.
- Rollout Coordination: Manages the PostHog-based A/B bundle rollout, allowing for safe feature flag dialing and empirical verification of user cohorts.
- Automated Verification: Integrates pre-flight checks, test suite gating, and post-publish verification to prevent marketplace errors and broken builds.
Quick Start
Use the publish-extension skill to initiate a stable release for version 4.2.0 by dispatching the ab-package workflow with the appropriate branch references.
