autoship

description	Automates npm release workflows using changesets. Creates a changeset (default patch), fixes lint/test/typecheck/format issues, commits and pushes, watches CI via the Monitor tool, finds and merges the Version Packages PR opened by changesets/action, and watches the release workflow to completion. Use when the user asks to ship, release, publish, autoship, or cut a release for an npm package.
