CLI Release Guide

This skill walks through the OpenHands CLI release process step by step.

🚨 CRITICAL: NEVER merge the release PR, create/push tags, or publish a GitHub release without the human's explicit approval. Release is the last line of human defense. Always present the current status and ask for confirmation before performing any irreversible action.

⚠️ Tag format: This project uses tags without a v prefix (e.g., 1.13.0, not v1.13.0).

Phase 1: Trigger the Version Bump Workflow

Determine the target version (SemVer X.Y.Z). Then trigger the bump-version.yml workflow, which creates a branch and draft PR automatically.
