cull-release

name	cull-release
description	Use when orchestrating or resuming Cull's complete release cycle, reporting its current release state, or fulfilling an explicit Cull patch, minor, or major release request through verified GitHub and Homebrew distribution.

Cull Release

Principle

Orchestrate Cull's repository-enforced phases; never recreate release logic in the skill. Read references/phase-contracts.md before acting.

Start or resume

1. Resolve Cull from a matching current origin, absolute CULL_REPO, or $HOME/ai_projects/cull.
2. For a new release, require explicit patch|minor|major; never infer it.
3. Use cull-release-check. Stop on every blocker.
4. Use cull-release-prepare in its isolated worktree.
5. Use cull-release-publish after preparation. An explicit complete-release request already authorizes publication: Do not ask for a second publication confirmation.
6. Use cull-release-verify after GitHub publication and Homebrew promotion.
7. On interruption, derive the last verified state from commit, tag, workflow, artifacts, release, and tap evidence. Resume the first incomplete phase; do not repeat completed work.
8. Route every mismatch or failed phase through cull-release-recover.

Completion report

Report version, release commit, annotated tag object, workflow run, artifact hashes, release URL, Homebrew tap commit, and final post-publish-verified state. Do not print secret values.
