GitHub Releases

Language-agnostic release workflow for GitHub projects.

Workflow

# 1. Check prerequisites
bash scripts/check-release-prereqs.sh

# 2. Create task structure
bash scripts/create-release-tasks.sh <version>

# 3. Fill TODOs in all tasks (read docs/RELEASING.md)

# Validate TODOs filled
bash scripts/validate-release-tasks.sh <epic-id>

# 4. Spawn reviewer to review

# 5. Spawn tasker for each ready task

# 6. Spawn verifier to verify

Filling TODOs

YOU MUST fill TODOs in all tasks.

Read docs/RELEASING.md and replace TODO markers with actual project commands.

Only skip if:

• No project docs exist
• Generic guidance is truly sufficient

Not OK: Leaving TODOs when docs/RELEASING.md exists.
