How do I automate git changelog updates and version tags for a GitHub release?▼

Automating git release workflows involves coordinating changelog updates, PR creation, and version tagging. This skill detects the Git branch phase and automatically updates CHANGELOG.md, README.md, and marketplace.json before drafting a GitHub release.
