Fable Release

Prove that the exact commit and artifact users will receive are ready to ship, then distinguish readiness from actual distribution.

Mission

A release is an external state transition. Source tests can be perfect while the package omits files, the tag points at another commit, the registry still serves an old version, or a published artifact cannot start in a clean environment.

This Skill closes that gap by tying release claims to exact version, commit, artifact, workflow, tag, and registry evidence.

Activate When

• preparing a branch for merge or a version for release;
• creating/pushing a version tag;
• publishing npm/package/plugin artifacts;
• finalizing a GitHub Release;
• verifying that a distribution channel actually serves the intended version;
• assessing whether release evidence is current after last-minute changes.
