Release Please Changelog

Overview

This skill helps agents set up or maintain release-please so changelogs and release PRs are generated consistently. Use it when a repo needs automated release notes, a release workflow, or cleanup of an existing release-please configuration.

Base this work on the official googleapis/release-please project and prefer patterns documented there.

Workflow

1. Inspect existing release automation

Check for these files first:

• .github/workflows/release-please.yml
• .github/workflows/release.yml
• release-please-config.json
• .release-please-manifest.json
• CHANGELOG.md
