What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents broken or inconsistent software releases by automating the full release workflow: validating state, generating a correct changelog, bumping versions, tagging, publishing, and updating Homebrew formulas with verified checksums.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deterministic release creation: Creates a release PR from dev to main by diffing changes, drafting Keep a Changelog-style entries, and bumping the correct semantic version (patch/minor/major).
- Binary smoke-test gate: Runs a mandatory compiled-binary preflight to catch bundler/minification or module-init crashes before any user-visible release steps occur.
- Checksum-correct Homebrew updates: Waits for release workflow binaries, fetches checksums.txt, then updates homebrew/archon.rb with the new version and SHA256 values atomically, followed by syncing the Homebrew tap and running end-to-end install verification.
