AI Agent Skill: Seamless Release Preparation & Publishing

AI Agent Skill: Seamless Release Preparation & Publishing

This AI agent skill is specifically designed to manage the release preparation and publishing process for repository-local skills on Claude Code and Codex. It ensures consistent execution of tasks through a defined workflow and reliable validation processes.

What this skill does

• Release Preparation: When prompted, this skill proposes the version for release based on the latest public tag and considers the diff against the release candidate. It updates necessary release files, such as the `CHANGELOG.md`, plugin manifests, and runs a release gate. This process halts before actions such as commit, push, tag, or initiating a GitHub Release.
• Release Publishing: Activated only upon explicit instructions to publish, this mode includes preparation activities followed by a release commit. It then automates the push to the `main` branch and monitors for visibility of the matching GitHub Release or identifies concrete failure.

Who it is for

This skill is aimed at developers and teams utilizing AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, who are involved in managing and executing software releases.

Use cases

• Teams with frequent release cycles looking to standardize the preparation and publishing phases reliably.
• Developers seeking an AI-driven solution to automate repetitive aspects of release processes, enhancing consistency and reducing manual oversight.
• Organizations managing private repositories that require robust management of release workflows tailored to specific project needs.

Technical details

• This skill operates within private repository-local settings for Claude Code and Codex.
• Integration with GitHub is part of its core functionality, particularly in the publishing phase.
• It relies on internal files such as `.claude/skills/release`, maintaining a symlink from `.agents/skills` for in-repository access while excluding it from public package directories.
