Han Release Cutter

A repo-maintenance skill that cuts a Han release: CHANGELOG update, per-plugin version bumps, per-plugin tags, and a fully attributed GitHub release.

AutomationAdvanced★ 211⑂ 20AI score 6/10Last updated: Aug 13, 2026

What it does

  • Resolves the previous release tag, computes the commit range, collects merged PRs and the issues they closed, and credits issue openers, discussion contributors, and the people who did the fix.
  • Builds an independent semver plan for the parent meta-plugin (han) and each child plugin (han-core, han-github, han-reporting, future han-*), including "new plugin doesn't bump" and "parent always bumps" rules.
  • Writes/augments the CHANGELOG section, assembles the GitHub release body, and creates {plugin}--v{version} tags with the release attached to the parent tag.
  • Fails safe: hard-stops on a dirty working tree or plugin.json/marketplace.json version drift before writing anything, and always pauses for approval before any tag is created.

Who it's for

  • Maintainers of testdouble/han, or anyone running a fork of the Han plugin suite.
  • Monorepo owners who want a reference implementation for per-component versioning and automated, attribution-heavy release notes.
  • Skill authors looking for a strong example of gated, checklist-driven automation.

Examples

  1. /han-release — default run: review the proposed version plan, approve the tags, publish as --latest.
  2. /han-release pause — adds an extra stop before publishing so you can inspect the CHANGELOG diff and release body.
  3. /han-release draft performance-focused release — creates a draft release; the trailing text feeds the changelog narrative.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the .claude/skills/han-release folder from the GitHub repo testdouble/han into my ~/.claude/skills/han-release/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/testdouble/han.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r han/.claude/skills/han-release ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Prerequisites: install gh (GitHub CLI), jq, and the claude CLI, and run gh auth login.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/testdouble/han.git
  3. Copy the skill: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r han/.claude/skills/han-release ~/.claude/skills/
  4. The skill references references/*.md and docs/semantic-versioning.md, so running it from inside the Han repo checkout is recommended to avoid missing files.
  5. Restart Claude Code and type /han-release to confirm the skill is discovered.
  6. Before running, verify git status is clean — the skill stops immediately on a dirty tree.
