What problem does it solve?

This Skill codifies repeatable release procedures so teams avoid manual, error-prone steps when versioning, merging, tagging, and validating CI/CD during releases across ecosystems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version Bumping Patterns: Supports static file bumps, tool-computed versions (NBGV, Maven, Cargo), and tag-only strategies with guidance on where to perform commits.
  • Release PR and Merge Strategies: Decision trees for merge commit, squash, and rebase approaches and recommendations for long-lived vs single-branch models.
  • Tagging, GitHub Releases, and CI Verification: Procedures for annotated tagging, gh release creation, and verifying that workflows trigger and publish artifacts.
  • Diagnostics & Anti-Patterns: Common failure modes, fixes for version mismatches, merge conflicts, and publishing credential issues, plus playbook binding via .release-config.json.

Quick Start

Prepare a release by bumping the version in version.json, creating a Release PR from dev to main, merging with the chosen strategy, tagging v1.2.3, and verifying CI/CD jobs and artifact publication.
