codeherd

Use when preparing a new release of codeherd — bumping the VERSION file, rotating CHANGELOG.md's `[Unreleased]` block, drafting per-version release notes.

Compose a polished commit message and optionally squash commits when finishing work on a branch or worktree. Use this skill whenever the user says things like "finish this branch", "squash commits", "prepare for PR", "wrap up", "finalize", "commit final", "ready for review", or wants to consolidate branch history into a single, well-crafted commit. Also use when another skill delegates commit message composition here — even for a single file or a single commit where there is nothing to squash. The core value is the structured commit message, not the squash.
