Git Auto Release
Workflow
Inspect repository state before changing anything:
Run git status --short --branch.
Run git diff --stat.
Run git diff.
If staged changes exist, also run git diff --staged --stat and git diff --staged.
Decide whether to continue:
Continue automatically only when the changed files match the user's request and the diff is coherent.
Stop and ask when the working tree contains unrelated changes, secrets, generated clutter, merge conflicts, or changes whose purpose is unclear.
Stop when no commit-worthy changes exist.
Run repo checks before committing when the repository documents them:
Prefer commands from AGENTS.md, README, or existing CI.
For uv Python repositories, use documented commands such as uv run pytest and uv run ruff check ..
If checks fail because of environment permissions or missing external services, report that clearly and do not hide the failure.
Stage and commit:
Stage only files that belong to the inspected change.
Use a concise imperative commit message that describes the actual diff.
Do not amend, squash, rebase, or rewrite history unless the user explicitly asks.
Choose the tag:
If the user supplied a tag, use it.
For Python packages with pyproject.toml, read [project].version and use v<version>.
If that tag already exists locally or remotely, stop and ask before deleting, moving, or replacing it.
If there is no reliable version source, ask the user for the tag name.
Create and push:
Create an annotated tag with git tag -a <tag> -m <tag>.
Push the current branch with git push origin HEAD.
Push the tag with git push origin <tag>.
Safety Rules
Always run and inspect git diff before committing.
Never commit files that were not reviewed in the diff.
Never push when the commit failed, checks failed, or tag selection is ambiguous.
Never use destructive commands such as git reset --hard, git checkout --, or tag deletion unless the user explicitly requests them.
Preserve unrelated user changes by leaving them unstaged.
Final Response
Report:
Commit hash and commit message.
Tag name.
Branch pushed.
Check results, including any checks that could not be run.
