Release

Overview

Skill for releasing a new version of the Smartsheet C# SDK.

Full procedure: Read RELEASE.md in the repository root before taking any action. It is the single source of truth for every step, decision rule, and checklist item.

When to Use

Use when:

• User asks to cut a release or bump the version
• It's time to ship accumulated changes from mainline
• A hotfix needs to be published urgently

Do NOT use for:

• Adding features or fixing bugs (those are separate PRs merged first)
• Updating CI or tooling without a version change

Workflow Summary

mainline (green) → decide version → "Prepare for release" PR → merge → GitHub Release (creates tag) → NuGet publish (auto)

Full details for every step are in RELEASE.md.

Confirmation Gates

Before committing or pushing anything: confirm the target version and branch name with the user.

Before instructing the user to click "Publish release": confirm they are ready — publishing is the point of no return that triggers NuGet publication and cannot be undone.
