Release Management

Release Management

Automate releases with gh release, semantic versioning, and changelog generation.

CC ≥ 2.1.118 (M122): claude plugin tag <version> validates the plugin manifest hierarchy (marketplace.json, plugin.json, package.json, version.txt) before tagging. Runs --dry-run in CI before release-please opens its release PR; catches manifest drift early. See src/skills/chain-patterns/references/plugin-tag.md.

CRITICAL: Task Management is MANDATORY (CC 2.1.16)

BEFORE doing ANYTHING else, create tasks to track progress:

# 1. Create main task IMMEDIATELY
TaskCreate(
  subject="Release: {version}",
  description="Creating release with semantic versioning and changelog",
  activeForm="Releasing {version}"
)

# 2. Create subtasks for each release phase
TaskCreate(subject="Version & changelog", activeForm="Determining version and generating changelog")
TaskCreate(subject="Create release", activeForm="Creating GitHub release")
TaskCreate(subject="Verify & announce", activeForm="Verifying release and announcing")

# 3. Set dependencies for sequential phases
TaskUpdate(taskId="3", addBlockedBy=["2"])
TaskUpdate(taskId="4", addBlockedBy=["3"])
