Cut a new release by triggering the Release workflow via GitHub Actions workflow dispatch.

The user may pass $ARGUMENTS as the bump type: patch, minor, or major. If not provided, default to patch.

Steps

1. Pull latest main

git checkout main && git pull

2. Determine the bump type

If the user provided $ARGUMENTS, treat it as the bump type (patch, minor, or major). Otherwise default to patch.

Validate + show what you're about to do and ask for confirmation before proceeding:

BUMP_TYPE="${ARGUMENTS:-patch}"
case "$BUMP_TYPE" in
  patch|minor|major) ;;
  *) echo "Invalid bump type: $BUMP_TYPE (expected patch|minor|major)"; exit 1 ;;
esac

echo "About to trigger a $BUMP_TYPE release bump"

3. Trigger the Release workflow

gh workflow run release.yml \
  --repo vellum-ai/vellum-assistant \
  --ref main \
  --field bump=<patch|minor|major>

This triggers the unified Release workflow which automatically handles:

• Version bumping across all packages
• Creating a release branch, PR, and merging it
• Tagging the release
• Publishing npm packages
• Building, signing, notarizing, and publishing the macOS DMG
• Creating GitHub Releases on vellum-ai/vellum-assistant
• Updating the vellum-assistant-platform dependency

4. Verify the workflow started

gh run list --repo vellum-ai/vellum-assistant --workflow="Release" --limit 1

Confirm the workflow was triggered.

5. Report

Output:

• The version number (from the workflow output)
• A link to the running workflow
• Remind the user that the full release pipeline takes ~15-20 minutes and will auto-publish everything when done
