What problem does it solve?
Manually creating release pull requests is time-consuming and error-prone, requiring teams to track merged changes, calculate semantic version bumps, write changelog entries, update version numbers across multiple plugin manifests, and draft the PR itself. This Skill eliminates all that manual work for projects using the Codagent agent skills bundle.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated PR Gathering: Collects all merged PRs since the last release tag, plus any unmerged changes on the current working branch if applicable.
- Semver Calculation: Determines the correct version bump (major/minor/patch) based on conventional commit prefixes and breaking change labels.
- Changelog Generation: Creates formatted, grouped changelog entries sorted by PR number, with expanded descriptions for clarity.
- Multi-Platform Version Sync: Updates version numbers across all host-specific plugin manifests (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) and the marketplace configuration file.
- Use Case: A team shipping a new version of their Codagent plugin can run this Skill to generate a complete release PR in seconds, instead of spending 30+ minutes on manual tracking and file updates.
