description	Create a git tag from the version in package.json. This skill should be used when the user wants to tag a release, create a version tag, or tag the current commit for release.

Release Tag

Create an annotated git tag based on the version in package.json.

Arguments: <message> (optional — annotation message for the tag)

Instructions

Phase 1: Read Version

1. Read package.json and extract the version field.
2. Construct the tag name as v{version} (e.g., v0.3.0).

Phase 2: Validate

1. Check if the tag already exists:

   git tag --list 'v{version}'
   

   If it exists, inform the user and halt. Suggest bumping the version first.

2. Check for uncommitted changes:

   git status --porcelain
   

   If there are uncommitted changes, warn the user and ask whether to proceed.

3. Show the user what will be tagged:

   git log -1 --oneline
   

Phase 3: Confirm

Present the tag details and ask the user to confirm:

• Tag: v{version}
• Commit: {short hash} {message}
• Message: The annotation message (argument or auto-generated)

If no <message> argument was provided, use:

Release v{version}

Phase 4: Create Tag

Create an annotated tag:

git tag -a v{version} -m "{message}"

Phase 5: Push (Optional)

Ask the user if they want to push the tag:

git push origin v{version}

Only push if the user confirms. Display the result.
