release

name	release
description	Release the current project to its package registry and GitHub by bumping the version, pushing a tag, and letting CI publish. Works for any project (Python/PyPI, Rust/crates.io, Node/npm, etc.) that has a CI publish workflow keyed off `v*` tags.

Release

Requires .github/workflows/publish.yml that triggers on v* tag push. For Python, install it with the setup-pypi-ci skill if missing.

Steps

1. Bump the version in the source-of-truth file (e.g. <pkg>/__version__.py, Cargo.toml, package.json). Default to a patch bump. Make sure it's greater than what's currently on the registry.
2. Commit: Bump to X.Y.Z. Push to the default branch.
3. Tag and push: git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin vX.Y.Z (or make release if available).
4. Watch the workflow:

   gh run watch $(gh run list --workflow=publish.yml --limit 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId') --exit-status
   

5. Write the GitHub release notes: inspect git log <prev-tag>..HEAD --oneline and the diff, summarize the meaningful changes, then gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z" --notes "..." (or gh release edit if CI already opened one). Include an install line for the ecosystem.
