Releasing

A comprehensive release orchestration skill that walks you through the full pipeline from pre-flight checks to publishing. It runs audits, validates documentation consistency across manifests, reviews change coherence for contradictions and stale references, coordinates local testing via the testing skill, bumps versions across all files with bundles-forge tooling, and blocks releases on critical issues. The rigid structure means you follow every step exactly, no shortcuts. Most valuable when you're managing bundle-plugins with multiple manifests that can drift out of sync. It catches the unglamorous problems that break marketplace installations, like version mismatches between package.json and plugin.json, or new skills that aren't registered in routing tables. For hotfixes there's an abbreviated path, but standard releases get the full treatment.

Releasing Bundle-Plugins

Overview

Orchestrate the complete release workflow for a bundle-plugin: verify quality, scan for security risks, check documentation consistency, review change coherence, test locally, bump versions, update documentation, and publish to target platforms.

Core principle: Release is a checkpoint, not a formality. Every release deserves the full pipeline — even "minor" version bumps can introduce drift or break platform installs. Users should complete all agent, skill, and workflow development before invoking this skill.

Skill type: Rigid — follow every step exactly. Releases have no room for improvisation.
