Make Release

Automate the release process by determining the next semantic version from git history and creating/pushing a tag.

Workflow

Sync with remote: Pull latest changes and prune deleted branches
Get current version: Find the latest semver tag (e.g., v1.9.10)
Analyze commits: Review commits since last tag to determine version bump
Confirm with user: Present the suggested bump and allow override
Update package.json: Bump version using npm version
Commit and push: Commit package.json changes and push
Create and push tag: Tag the current commit and push to origin

Version Bump Rules

Analyze commit messages since the last tag to suggest a version bump:

Commit Pattern	Bump Type	Example
`BREAKING CHANGE:` or `!:` in message	major	`feat!: remove deprecated API`
`feat:` or `feat(scope):`	minor	`feat: add dark mode`
`fix:`, `docs:`, `chore:`, `refactor:`, etc.	patch	`fix: resolve null pointer`

If no conventional commits found, default to patch.

Execution Steps

Step 1: Sync Repository

git pull --prune

Step 2: Get Latest Tag

git tag --sort=-v:refname | grep -E '^v?[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' | head -1

Step 3: Analyze Commits

Get commits since last tag:

git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline

Scan for:

BREAKING CHANGE or !: → major
feat: or feat( → minor
Everything else → patch

Step 4: Calculate Next Version

Parse current version and increment appropriately:

major: v1.9.10 → v2.0.0
minor: v1.9.10 → v1.10.0
patch: v1.9.10 → v1.9.11

Step 5: Confirm with User

Use AskUserQuestion to confirm the suggested version:

Suggested version bump: patch (v1.9.10 → v1.9.11)

Based on commits:
- fix: resolve legend display issue
- chore: cleanup unused code

Options: [patch (Recommended)] [minor] [major] [custom]

Step 6: Update package.json

Update the version in package.json (without 'v' prefix):

npm version <version-without-v> --no-git-tag-version

Step 7: Commit and Push

git add package.json package-lock.json
git commit -m "<new-version>"
git push

Step 8: Create and Push Tag

git tag <new-version>
git push origin <new-version>

Edge Cases

No previous tags: Start at v0.1.0 and ask user to confirm
Dirty working tree: Warn user and ask if they want to proceed
No commits since last tag: Warn and ask if they still want to tag

Example Usage

User: /make-release

Response:

Syncing with remote...
Latest tag: v1.9.10

Commits since v1.9.10:
- 69a2116 Fix logs legend showing detected_level instead of group by keys

Suggested: patch bump → v1.9.11

[Confirm version with user]

Updated package.json to 1.9.11
Committed and pushed package.json
Created and pushed tag v1.9.11
