Release

Cut a GitHub release from a bump keyword (major / minor / patch, optionally beta, or stable), with an explicit version number as escape hatch. Nothing is hardcoded: repo, build command and CI behavior are detected, with optional overrides in a ## Releasing section of the project's CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md (see the end of this file). Ask the user only when detection is ambiguous.

The contract. Publishing is CI-driven: a release workflow triggers on the created release, stamps the versions (repo files stay at their placeholder, commonly 0.0.0, never committed back), builds and publishes; the release's prerelease flag picks the dist-tag / target environment. So this skill never bumps versions, creates commits, pushes tags, or publishes. Its only remote mutation is gh release create in step 6, which must not run before the user confirms in step 5.
