release

Skill4 starsChanged 5 months agoMITView on GitHub

Ship releases with rich, auto-written notes instead of hand-typed bullet points. Use when cutting a release — promote the changelog, synthesize notes from your CHANGELOG, ADRs and commits, tag the release, and optionally publish via the gh CLI. Degrades gracefully to a notes file when gh is absent, and adapts to any repo via config.

    create-agent-adapter

    Technical guide for creating a new Paperclip agent adapter. Use when building a new adapter package, adding support for a new AI coding tool (e.g. a new CLI agent, API-based agent, or custom process), or when modifying the adapter system. Covers the required interfaces, module structure, registration points, and conventions derived from the existing claude-local and codex-local adapters.

  • GrinvSkill

    changelog-style

    Turn a commit range into CHANGELOG.md entries following common-changelog style. Use when finishing a PR or cutting a release, to write/fix the [Unreleased] section's entries — moving [Unreleased] under a new dated version heading is a separate, automated step (see the release skill / scripts/sync-version.ts), not this skill's job.

    docs-consistency-check

    Check README/manifest.json/server.json/CHANGELOG.md/AGENTS.md and docs/*.md for drift against the actual registered tools and source. Use after adding, renaming, or removing a tool, or as part of a live-audit pass.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 186 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    If gh is installed and a remote exists, publish:

    line 44
  2. Very specific:

    If gh is unavailable, stop here and tell the user the notes are in RELEASE_NOTES.md for manual upload.

    line 50
  3. Distinctive:

    Never tag before the changelog is promoted (step 1 must precede step 4).

    line 54
  4. Distinctive:

    Use the real version and date.

    line 56

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 186 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Release Workflow

Cut a release end to end.

1. Promote the changelog

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/changelog-parse.mjs" release --version <X.Y.Z> --date <today>

2. Gather context for notes

Find the previous tag and the commits/ADRs since then:

PREV=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "")
COMMITS=$( [ -n "$PREV" ] && git log "$PREV"..HEAD --pretty=format:'%s' || git log --pretty=format:'%s' )

Collect new ADRs by diffing the ADR directory since $PREV (use git diff --name-only --diff-filter=A "$PREV"..HEAD -- <adr.dir>). Build a JSON object { "adrs": [{number,title,file}], "commits": ["..."] }.

3. Synthesize notes

Pipe the JSON into the helper:

echo "$JSON" | node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/release-notes.mjs" --version <X.Y.Z>

This writes RELEASE_NOTES.md and prints the notes. The notes combine the changelog section for this version, new ADRs, and a collapsed commit list.

4. Tag and publish

git tag <tagPrefix><X.Y.Z>     # tagPrefix from config, default "v"

If gh is installed and a remote exists, publish:

gh release create <tagPrefix><X.Y.Z> --notes-file RELEASE_NOTES.md

If gh is unavailable, stop here and tell the user the notes are in RELEASE_NOTES.md for manual upload.

Rules

  • Never tag before the changelog is promoted (step 1 must precede step 4).
  • gh is optional — degrade gracefully to the notes file.
  • Use the real version and date; confirm the version bump with the user if ambiguous.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
