GitHub Release Skill

This skill automates the full release workflow for a single-package GitHub repository, from analysis through changelog authoring and PR creation. It relies exclusively on gh (GitHub CLI) and git � no other tools needed.

Steps 1�4 are read-only reconnaissance � nothing is written to the repo until Step 5, once the version number is confirmed.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to cut a new release, publish a new version, bump a version, create a release branch, generate a changelog, or open a release PR on a GitHub repository. Trigger even if the user says something casual like "let's ship a new version" or "time to release".
