direnv-action-release

name	direnv-action-release
description	Prepare and publish a release for the direnv-action repository when the user asks for a patch, minor, or major release, wants the RELEASE_RUNBOOK followed, or needs the version tag, GitHub Release, and moving v1 tag updated together.

direnv-action Release

Use this skill when the user asks to release direnv-action, bump the release version, or publish a new v1.x.y tag.

Required Context

• Read AGENTS.md for repository guardrails and validation rules.
• Read RELEASE_RUNBOOK.md for the canonical release flow.
• Read references/release-flow.md for the command checklist.
• Read references/release-guardrails.md before pushing or retagging.

Workflow

1. Confirm the working tree is clean and master is up to date.
2. Determine the next version from the requested release type and the latest v* tag.
3. Update the version with npm version <version> --no-git-tag-version.
4. Update release-facing documentation that pins an exact version tag, including both README.md and docs/index.html.
5. Run the full validation gate with nvm use, npm ci, and npm run all.
6. Commit the release-preparation changes to master with a Conventional Commit message.
7. Push master, create the annotated version tag, and publish the GitHub Release.
8. Force-move the v1 tag to the same commit and verify both tags resolve to the release commit.

Output Expectations

Report:

• the chosen release version
• validation commands that passed
• the release-preparation commit SHA
• the version tag and GitHub Release URL
• whether v1 now points to the same commit
