SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires github, claude-code, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the release lifecycle planning process by automating analysis and providing a framework for execution, saving time and reducing errors in program and release management.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backlog Analysis: Analyze improvement backlogs, map dependencies, and suggest release bundles.
  • Release Planning: Generate release plans and dry-run diffs based on analysis.
  • Dry Run: Produce diff previews to assist in decision-making.
  • Use Case: A Senior Program Manager can use this Skill to review the backlog, plan the release, and perform a dry run to validate the release plan before actual deployment.

Quick Start

Run the release-planner skill with the "plan the release" mode and provide the milestone version you wish to plan for.

Frequently Asked Questions about release-planner

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate release planning for complex software dependencies?▼

Automate release planning by analyzing dependency graphs, classifying artifact relationships, and mapping file contention to suggest release bundles. This streamlines complex release lifecycles, reducing manual planning errors and saving time for program managers.

Can I generate a dry-run diff to validate a release plan before deployment?▼

Yes, you can generate a dry-run diff to validate a release plan before actual deployment. This produces a diff preview that assists in decision-making by showing exactly what changes will occur without executing them.

Do I need GitHub and Claude Code to analyze my improvement backlog?▼

Yes, you need GitHub and Claude Code's runtime environment to analyze your improvement backlog. The skill requires integration with both platforms to map dependencies, classify artifact relationships, and suggest release bundles effectively.

What's the best way to map file contention across multiple release components?▼

The best way to map file contention is using automated dependency analysis that classifies artifact relationships and generates dependency graphs. This approach identifies overlapping file changes across components to prevent conflicts during complex release planning.

How do I group backlog items into release bundles based on dependencies?▼

Group backlog items into release bundles by running automated backlog analysis that maps dependencies and classifies artifact relationships. The system suggests logical release bundles by evaluating dependency graphs and file contention across the entire improvement backlog.
