SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the busywork and risk from getting finished code out the door. It checks the branch, runs the right verification steps, and turns a ready change into a clean release path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Release workflow: Detects the base branch, reviews the diff, and checks recent commits before shipping.
  • Verification and cleanup: Runs tests, updates versioning, refreshes the changelog, and catches release blockers early.
  • Commit, push, and PR creation: Packages the work into a commit, pushes it, and opens the pull request instead of leaving the user to stitch the last mile together.
  • Use case: A feature is done, the branch is dirty, and the user wants the safest path to merge it without forgetting release steps.

Quick Start

Ask the ship skill to prepare the branch for release, run verification, update release files, and create the pull request.
