Prepares and publishes a tagged GitHub release from repository evidence. Use for an explicit release request; not for ordinary commits, packages, or community news.
Release Publisher
Goal: Prepare a reproducible release and publish it only after the user approves the exact tag and notes.
Execution contract: Treat the ordered checkbox workflow below as this skill's Definition of Done. Work through every item in order, and mark it complete only when its action and required evidence are complete. N/A, skipped, unavailable, or delegated items remain incomplete.
Before returning, apply this skill's verdict, decision, and approval rules to every incomplete item and prepend Checklist: X/Y complete Incomplete: None | section/item — reason; outcome impact; exact next action; list every incomplete item.
Tool Routing
Need
Preferred capability
Fallback
Release boundary and commit evidence
Git history, tags, and diffs
Hosting API commit comparison
Existing release style and state
Authenticated GitHub CLI or connector
Public GitHub API for read-only evidence
Release identity and version scope
Repository policy, prior tags, and canonical version files when present
Stop only when the release identity remains ambiguous
Release validation
Repository-native gates and clean checkout
Manual structural checks with reduced confidence
Tag and GitHub Release creation
Git plus an authenticated GitHub release capability
BLOCKED; do not emulate release state in files
Installation verification
Isolated environment against the documented distribution source
Clean source validation without install proof
When publishing through a shell, use a temporary notes file so Markdown, quotes, and code blocks are not reinterpreted. Keep credentials in the host credential store and never echo them.
Do not browse for generic release advice when repository policy and previous comparable releases answer the question. Use official host documentation only for current API or CLI behavior.
Checklist
Confirm the user explicitly requested a release and identify the repository, release target, and intended audience.
Read repository release rules before selecting a version, tag shape, files, or publication sequence.
Verify an authenticated GitHub release capability, repository access, and permission to create releases.
Require a clean worktree or explicitly exclude unrelated changes before release preparation.
Fetch tags and the target branch; confirm local HEAD is synchronized with the remote release branch.
Find the latest relevant tag and GitHub Release rather than assuming the newest tag belongs to this release line.
Inspect commits and full commit bodies from the previous release boundary to the proposed release commit.
Read the affected manifests, authoritative documentation, installation instructions, configured catalogs, and user-facing migration notes when present.
Treat commits and source diffs as evidence; use existing release notes only as secondary context.
Version and Scope
Use the repository's declared versioning policy; do not impose CalVer, SemVer, or a shared catalog version when none is specified.
If the release target or tag is ambiguous, stop and ask instead of inventing a convention.
Confirm the proposed tag does not already exist locally or remotely.
Change versions only in canonical version fields identified by repository instructions.
Update only packages, plugins, or components included in the release; do not bump unrelated manifests for visual consistency.
Keep a new distribution unit at its approved initial version unless this release explicitly advances it.
Ensure the tag, release title, and notes describe the same release unit; require manifest-version alignment only for versioned manifests included in that unit.
Document breaking installation or behavior changes in the repository's required migration surface.
Do not create a CHANGELOG.md when repository policy says release notes and README are sufficient.
Release Notes
Read the most recent comparable releases and preserve useful house style without copying stale structure.
Group changes by user outcome, not by file list or internal implementation chronology.
Lead with why the release matters, then state the concrete behavior users receive.
Include exact install or update commands only after verifying them against the current authoritative documentation and applicable distribution metadata.
Include migration steps for every confirmed breaking change, with old and new behavior clearly separated.
Mention removed behavior plainly; do not disguise removal as simplification.
Credit external contributors by verified handle and omit a contributors section for solo work.
Link to canonical documentation and repository paths that exist at the release commit.
Exclude claims about adoption, performance, compatibility, or counts that cannot be reproduced.
Distinguish measured facts from interpretation and future intent.
Validation and Approval
Run every repository release gate and the relevant product, package, plugin, skill, or marketplace checks for surfaces that exist.
When multiple host catalogs exist and repository policy requires parity, confirm they remain aligned; preserve every stable distribution identifier unless migration was approved.
Validate from a clean checkout of the exact proposed release commit when installation surfaces changed.
Record commands, versions, exit codes, and skipped checks without exposing secrets.
Present the exact version changes, tag, title, full notes, validation evidence, and planned commands.
Wait for explicit user approval of that exact proposal before committing version changes, tagging, or publishing.
Treat edits requested after approval as a new proposal requiring approval again.
Publication
Apply only approved metadata and documentation changes.
Re-run release gates after the final edits.
Commit and push the release commit using the authorized branch workflow.
Confirm required CI succeeds on the release commit before creating the tag.
Create an annotated or repository-standard tag pointing at the verified commit and push it without force.
Create the GitHub Release from a file containing the approved notes to preserve Markdown and shell safety.
Verify the published tag, target commit, title, body, and release URL through the hosting API.
Test documented installation or update from the repository's documented release or distribution source when the release changes an installation surface.
Do not publish npm, PyPI, NuGet, container, or other packages unless separately authorized.
Do not create a community announcement as an implicit side effect.
Failure Handling
If failure occurs before the tag is public, stop and preserve evidence; do not improvise a partial release.
If a tag is public but release creation fails, report the exact partial state before taking corrective action.
Never delete or move a published tag without explicit approval.
Never overwrite an existing release or use force to conceal a bad release commit.
Verdict
RELEASED — tag and GitHub Release point to the verified commit and remote checks pass.
READY — proposal and evidence are complete but publication awaits approval.
PARTIAL — externally visible release state exists but verification or a later step failed.
BLOCKED — release cannot proceed safely.
Output Contract
Return release scope, version changes, tag and commit, full notes or release URL, validation evidence, publication state, verdict, and residual risks.
For PARTIAL, describe every externally visible object and obtain approval before deleting, moving, or replacing any of them.
