description
Create a release from dev branch. Generates changelog entries from commits,
bumps version, and creates a PR to main.
TRIGGERS - Use this skill when user says:
- "/release" - create a patch release (default)
- "/release minor" - create a minor release
- "/release major" - create a major release
- "make a release", "cut a release", "ship it", "release to main"
Release Skill
Creates a release by comparing dev to main, generating changelog entries from commits, bumping the version, and creating a PR. After the tag is pushed and the release workflow finishes building binaries, updates the Homebrew formula with the real SHA256 values from the published checksums.txt, syncs the coleam00/homebrew-archon tap, and verifies the end-to-end install path via /test-release.
⚠️ CRITICAL — Homebrew formula SHAs cannot be known until after the release workflow builds binaries.
The
versionfield inhomebrew/archon.rband thesha256fields must be updated atomically. Never update one without the other.The correct sequence is:
- Tag is pushed → release workflow fires → binaries built →
checksums.txtuploaded- Fetch
checksums.txtfrom the published release- Parse the SHA256 per platform
- Update
homebrew/archon.rbwith the new version AND the new SHAs in a single commit- Sync to the
coleam00/homebrew-archon/Formula/archon.rbtap repo
