SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Releasing new software versions is a complex, multi-step process prone to human error and consuming valuable developer time. This Skill automates the entire release workflow for your Obsidian plugin, ensuring consistency and freeing you to focus on development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Version Bumping: Automatically updates manifest.json and versions.json with correct semantic versioning.
  • Integrated Build Process: Ensures the plugin is cleanly built and verified before release.
  • Git Workflow Automation: Handles committing changes, creating annotated tags, and pushing to the repository.
  • Release Notes Generation: Guides the creation of user-focused release notes and marks releases as pre-release.
  • Use Case: When you've implemented a new feature or fixed a bug, simply ask the AI to "release a new patch version for the plugin," and it will handle all the underlying steps from versioning to Git operations and release drafting.
