Release Skill

Process steps in order. Do not skip ahead.

Run from readiness through publication confirmation and cleanup in one session. Read each step's reference in full. Execute its commands and follow its result-specific recovery and continuation. The reference owns that step's script contracts and binding supporting reads.

Step 1 — Verify Readiness

skills/release/references/step-1-readiness.md

Resolve the selected checkout's authorized blockers and preserve unrelated work. Proceed immediately to Step 2 after required readiness checks pass.

Step 2 — Create PR

skills/release/references/step-2-pull-request.md

Push the branch, create the PR in its origin repository and verify its issue declaration. Proceed immediately to Step 3.

Step 3 — Reason About Versioning

skills/release/references/step-3-versioning.md

Apply the inspected channels' semver and publisher-mode requirements. Proceed immediately to Step 4.

Step 4 — Request Reviews

skills/release/references/step-4-review.md

Confirm both automatic reviewers were triggered. Proceed immediately to Step 5.

Step 5 — Watch PR State

skills/release/references/step-5-watch.md

Run the canonical watcher. Follow the reference's result-specific recovery and continuation without an invented timeout.

Step 6 — Address Feedback

skills/release/references/step-6-feedback.md

Read every review body and inline comment in full before judging findings. Fix blocking findings from either reviewer and CI failures; advisory-only feedback creates no repair or re-review round. After each required push, both reviewers run automatically; return to Step 5. Proceed immediately to Step 7 after the reference's gates are satisfied.

Step 7 — Deliver

skills/release/references/step-7-delivery.md

Complete its pre-merge, merge, cleanup and channel-confirmation obligations. Report the merged PR, published version and each channel's confirmation. Finish here only after every selected channel is confirmed.
