JB GitHub Release With Attempts

Author: bjesuiter

Purpose

Use this skill to design, implement, or run a GitHub Actions release pipeline that starts from non-semantic release-attempt tags instead of canonical version tags.

This is an opinionated JB workflow skill, not a generic GitHub release best-practices skill. Preserve these preferences unless the user explicitly asks to change them.

Only use it when one of these is true:

• the repo already contains JB's release-attempt workflow, usually .github/workflows/jb-release-v1.yaml
• the repo contains an equivalent workflow that triggers on release-attempt/* tags
• the user explicitly asks to set up this GitHub Actions release-attempt workflow

If neither is true and the user asks for a normal/local release, use jb-local-release instead.

JB's preference: releases should be explicit and easy to trigger from the CLI, but failed native/package builds must not leave broken v* tags or consumed semantic versions.
