name	gh-release
description	Automates version bumping in pyproject.toml and creating GitHub releases. Use when releasing a new version of the project.

GitHub Release Skill

Overview

This skill automates the process of creating a new release. It updates the version in pyproject.toml, commits the change, and then creates a GitHub release using the gh CLI tool.

Semantic Versioning (SemVer)

This project follows Semantic Versioning (SemVer) for releasing versions. SemVer uses a MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format:

• MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes.
• MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner.
• PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes.

Example: 1.0.0 -> 1.1.0 (new feature), 1.1.0 -> 1.1.1 (bug fix), 1.1.1 -> 2.0.0 (breaking change).

Usage

To use this skill, execute the create-release.sh script from the root of your project with the desired new version number as an argument.

Example:

./.agent/skills/gh-release/scripts/create-release.sh 0.1.0

This will perform the following actions:

1. Find the pyproject.toml file in the project root.
2. Update the version field in pyproject.toml to the specified version.
3. Stage the pyproject.toml file.
4. Commit the change with the message chore(release): <version>.
5. Create a GitHub release with auto-generated release notes using gh release create.

Requirements

• gh CLI tool must be installed and authenticated.
• The script should be run from the root of the project repository.
• python must be available (used for safe TOML editing).
