Claude Code Plugin Release
If you've ever hand-edited version strings across package.json, marketplace.json, and three different plugin manifests only to realize you missed one and broke your npm publish, this automates all of it. It handles semantic versioning bumps, syncs seven different config files (yes, seven), runs build verification, publishes to npm so npx resolves correctly, creates git tags, pushes GitHub releases, and regenerates your changelog from the API. The workflow is opinionated and thorough, right down to requiring a clean git status at the end and running Discord notifications from a specific directory. Built for Claude Code plugins but the pattern works for any multi-manifest project where version drift causes real pain.

Version Bump & Release Workflow
IMPORTANT: Plan and write detailed release notes before starting.
Include the pending Unreleased section at the top of docs/CHANGELOG.md in the next GitHub release notes; remove that section after those notes are published, before regenerating the changelog.
CRITICAL: Commit EVERYTHING (including build artifacts). At the end of this workflow, NOTHING should be left uncommitted or unpushed. Run git status at the end to verify.
Scope — check this first
This workflow is for one repository and one npm package: thedotmack/claude-mem,
published as claude-mem. It is not a general release recipe. Do not adapt any
step of it to another repository or package.
Before doing anything else, run:
git remote get-url origin # must be github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem(.git)
node -p "require('./package.json').name" # must print claude-mem
If either check fails, stop and tell the user this skill does not apply here.
