Automate Flux Controller Minor Releases with AI Skill

Automate Flux Controller Minor Releases with AI Skill

This AI skill automates the upstream Flux controller minor release procedure, streamlining the process for specific controllers. It assists with tasks such as creating the release series branch, drafting the minor changelog, tagging, merging the release branch back to the main branch, and adding the backport label.

What this skill does

• Runs the release procedure for controllers including helm-controller, image-automation-controller, image-reflector-controller, kustomize-controller, notification-controller, source-controller, and source-watcher.
• Creates a new release series branch for minor releases (`vX.Y.0`).
• Drafts the minor changelog for clear documentation of changes.
• Tags the release appropriately in line with versioning best practices.
• Merges the release branch back to the main branch after completion.
• Adds the backport label to ensure changes are tracked effectively for backporting purposes.

Who it is for

This skill benefits developers and teams using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It is tailored for those involved in managing the release cycles of software, specifically targeting those working with Flux controllers.

Use cases

• Development teams looking to simplify the minor release process for multiple Flux controllers.
• Organizations seeking to improve release consistency and reduce manual errors in the release workflow.
• Teams that require background operations for long-running commands, allowing them to maintain control without blocking sessions.

Technical details

• Designed specifically for Flux controller minor releases, not usable for `flux2`, `pkg`, or non-controller repositories.
• Integrates with Git to execute documented git commands step by step, ensuring strict adherence to recommended practices.
• Employs background processing using `run_in_background` for operations like CI checks and approval waits to avoid session blocking.
• Requires adaptation of version numbers according to the specific release being handled.
