AI Skill for App Release: Ensure Seamless Updates & Data Safety

AI Skill for App Release: Ensure Seamless Updates & Data Safety

This AI Skill assists developers in preparing a desktop or web app update with an emphasis on data protection and artifact verification. It provides workflow support for repository management, thorough verifications, and safe packaging processes when committing updates, packaging installations, and publishing on GitHub.

What this skill does

• Preflights repositories by running git status --short to identify unrelated changes, confirms branch and remote configurations, and adheres to version/tag policy.
• Ensures build artifacts are only committed when explicitly necessary and manages GitHub Releases by retaining only the newest 15 records while preserving git tags, when specified by users.
• Executes backend/frontend tests for the smallest meaningful changes, with full builds conducted when significant code changes are identified.
• Incorporates Rust/Tauri or native shell checks for desktop apps and scans for sensitive information whenever provider credentials or documentation undergo changes.
• Facilitates safe packaging processes by managing application processes prior to overwriting binaries and ensuring installers reject updates when files are locked to prevent incomplete installations.
• Verifies uninstall/update processes to ensure they do not delete user data by default.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and development teams utilizing AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex for streamlined app release processes. It benefits those involved in frequent application updates with a focus on data integrity and release management efficiency.

Use cases
