Runs the full Paperclip maintainer release workflow from changelog drafting through npm publish, Docker smoke tests, GitHub Release creation, and announcement follow-up. You'd use this when leadership says "ship the release" or "promote this canary to stable," not for casual version discussions. It enforces Paperclip's commit-driven model where every master push auto-publishes a canary and stable releases are manually promoted from tested commits using date-based versions like 2024.115.0. The precondition checks are thorough, requiring clean working trees, verified candidates, and proper npm credentials. Honestly, this is hyper-specific to one product's release machinery, but if you maintain something with similar canary-to-stable promotion flows, the structure of verification gates, smoke testing, and rollback handling is worth studying.

Release Coordination Skill

Run the full Paperclip maintainer release workflow, not just an npm publish.

This skill coordinates:

  • stable changelog drafting via release-changelog
  • canary verification and publish status from master
  • Docker smoke testing via scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh
  • manual stable promotion from a chosen source ref
  • GitHub Release creation
  • website / announcement follow-up tasks
  • release-content Cases dogfood: a top-level release case with child blog_post and tweet_storm cases, all linked to the release issue/run

Trigger

Use this skill when leadership asks for:

  • "do a release"
  • "ship the release"
  • "promote this canary to stable"
  • "cut the stable release"

Preconditions

Before proceeding, verify all of the following:
