| description | Prepares and publishes a tagged GitHub release from repository evidence. Use for an explicit release request; not for ordinary commits, packages, or community news. |
Release Publisher
Goal: Prepare a reproducible release and publish it only after the user approves the exact tag and notes.
Execution contract: Treat the ordered checkbox workflow below as this skill's Definition of Done. Work through every item in order, and mark it complete only when its action and required evidence are complete. N/A, skipped, unavailable, or delegated items remain incomplete.
Before returning, apply this skill's verdict, decision, and approval rules to every incomplete item and prepend Checklist: X/Y complete
Incomplete: None | section/item — reason; outcome impact; exact next action; list every incomplete item.
Tool Routing
| Need | Preferred capability | Fallback |
|---|
| Release boundary and commit evidence | Git history, tags, and diffs | Hosting API commit comparison |
| Existing release style and state | Authenticated GitHub CLI or connector | Public GitHub API for read-only evidence |
| Release identity and version scope | Repository policy, prior tags, and canonical version files when present | Stop only when the release identity remains ambiguous |
| Release validation | Repository-native gates and clean checkout | Manual structural checks with reduced confidence |
| Tag and GitHub Release creation | Git plus an authenticated GitHub release capability | BLOCKED; do not emulate release state in files |
