Release Bumper

If these instructions are already present in the conversation from a slash or dollar invocation, follow them directly; do not invoke this skill again through a skill tool.

Release one package or several packages with version bumps, changelog entries, commits, and tags. Supports single-package repositories, workspace monorepos, stable releases, beta releases, and dry runs.

A non-dry-run invocation authorizes the repository-local version edits, changelogs, commits, and annotated tags defined by this workflow. Do not add a generic confirmation gate after the agent derives the release plan. Ask only when an unresolved package selection or dependency-range policy changes the release set or approach; GitHub release creation remains a separate external write governed below.

Arguments

• packages: optional package names or directories. Omit in a single-package repository.
• version: optional explicit semver. Valid only for one user-selected package.
• --beta: create or advance a -beta.X prerelease.
• --dry-run: preview without modifying files, committing, or tagging.
