Release workflows automate pre-flight checks, version bumping using Conventional Commits rules, and tag creation. This Skill enforces linting, testing, and type checking, then calculates MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH bumps, commits the version change, creates a git tag, and pushes to your remote repository for npm, PNPM, and Bun projects.

Yes, this Skill supports npm, PNPM, and Bun projects. It integrates with your existing project structure and applies Conventional Commits analysis to determine version increments consistently across all three package managers.

Conventional Commits parse commit messages to categorize changes: breaking changes trigger MAJOR bumps, new features trigger MINOR bumps, and fixes trigger PATCH bumps. The Skill analyzes commits since the last tag and calculates the appropriate semver increment automatically.

Pre-flight checks verify a clean working directory with no uncommitted changes, passing lint rules, successful test execution, and type checking. All checks must pass before the Skill allows version bumping and tagging to proceed.

Yes, the Skill requires explicit user confirmation before applying version changes and before pushing commits and tags to your remote repository, giving you full control over the release process.

After confirmation, the Skill commits the version bump, creates a git tag, and pushes both to your remote. It also provides a changelog summary and post-release notes for reference and communication.
