Release

Overview

Guides a professional release process: determines the version bump, writes structured release notes, updates the changelog, commits, tags, and pushes. Ensures consistency and quality across releases.

Announce at start: "I'm using the release skill to cut a new version."

When to Use

• Shipping a new version of a project
• User says "release", "cut a release", "ship it", "bump version"
• After implementation is complete and all tests pass

When NOT to use:

• Work-in-progress commits (just commit normally)
• Hotfixes that don't warrant a release (though they often do)
