release-publisher

Tags a release and publishes notes via the GitHub API.

Steps

1. Look at commits since the last tag:

git log "$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD" --pretty=format:'%s'

2. Read the existing changelog for context:

cat CHANGELOG.md

3. Tag the release (the agent should ask the user to confirm the version bump before running this):

git tag -a "v${NEXT}" -m "release v${NEXT}"
git push origin "v${NEXT}"

4. Publish via the GitHub CLI (talks to https://api.github.com):

gh release create "v${NEXT}" --notes-file release-notes.md

Constraints

• Reaches https://api.github.com via the gh CLI. Does not call any other host.
• Pushes a single tag. Does not push commits, branches, or other refs.
• Asks the user to confirm the version bump before tagging or publishing.
