ship-swift-library

This Skill automates end-to-end Swift library releases by merging development PRs to main, bumping semantic versions, creating annotated tags, and publishing GitHub releases in a single workflow. It enforces CI checks and produces a squash-merged commit with corresponding release artifacts.

Yes. The Skill merges development-to-main PRs after verifying CI checks pass, automatically increments the version in your source file, tags the merge commit, and creates a GitHub release—eliminating manual coordination between steps.

The Skill verifies all required CI checks pass before proceeding. If checks fail, the PR merge and subsequent release steps do not execute, preserving main branch integrity and preventing broken releases.

Manual releases require separate steps: merging PRs, editing version files, creating tags, and publishing releases. This Skill orchestrates all operations through Git and GitHub CLI commands in sequence, reducing human error and ensuring consistent audit trails.

You need an open pull request from a development branch to main, Git and GitHub CLI installed, and a Swift source file containing the version string. The Skill updates the version file, so write permissions to main are required.

Yes. The Skill works with any Swift library on GitHub that follows a development-to-main PR workflow. It uses standard Git commands and GitHub CLI operations compatible with Swift package structures and semantic versioning.
