Skill: Release ButterCut

Guides through the complete release process: version bump, changelog, git operations, and GitHub release creation.

ButterCut is distributed via git clone only. The buttercut gem on RubyGems was deprecated in 0.7.1 and is no longer published. Do not run gem build or gem push from this skill — those steps were removed.

When to Use

• Publishing a new version of ButterCut
• After merging features or fixes that should be released

Workflow

1. Run Tests First

CRITICAL: Always run tests before releasing. Never release if tests fail.
