Release Skill

Pre-flight checks

Before starting, verify:

1. Working tree is clean — no uncommitted changes

   git status
   

2. On the main branch and up to date

   git pull origin main
   

3. Build passes and tests are green

   pnpm build && pnpm test && pnpm lint
   

If any check fails, stop and resolve before proceeding.

Release procedure

1. Bump version in package.json

Read the current version field in package.json, compute the next version (default: patch increment), and update the file.

Example: 0.0.11 → 0.0.12

Important: Do NOT run npm version — edit package.json directly to avoid auto-creating a git tag before the build is verified.

2. Build

pnpm build

Confirm dist/ is updated before continuing.

3. Commit

Use the commit-message skill to craft the message, or follow this template:

chore(release): v<NEW_VERSION>

Stage only package.json:

git add package.json
git commit -m "chore(release): v<NEW_VERSION>"

4. Tag

git tag v<NEW_VERSION>

5. Push the tag

git push origin tags/v<NEW_VERSION>

Do not push the branch separately unless the user asks — pushing the tag is sufficient to trigger any CI release workflow.

6. Publish to npm

pnpm publish ./

After release

Confirm the package is live:

npm view vite-plugin-rollbar-sourcemap version

Report the published version to the user.
