What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes the manual overhead and risk from cutting a new software release by coordinating version updates, lockfile refreshes, changelog generation, and review staging in one controlled workflow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Release branch creation: Creates a dedicated release branch for a patch, minor, major, or exact semver version.
- Version synchronization: Updates the repository version in package metadata and source version files so the release stays consistent.
- Lockfile refresh and validation: Regenerates root and demo lockfiles, runs precommit checks, and surfaces unusual diff churn before review.
- Changelog preparation: Regenerates the release entry in CHANGELOG.md and stages it for human review.
- Use Case: A maintainer needs to ship the next version safely, keep demo apps aligned, and prepare a clean review bundle without committing changes automatically.
