Han Release Cutter

Cuts a full release: changelog section, per-plugin version bumps, per-plugin tags, and a GitHub release — with approval gates before anything irreversible.

AutomationAdvanced★ 274⑂ 23AI score 7/10Last updated: Sep 23, 2026

What it does

  • Resolves the previous release tag, computes the commit range, and collects merged PRs plus closed issues with contributor attribution.
  • Builds a per-plugin version plan (parent always bumps; children bump only when their directory changed; brand-new plugins are not bumped) and syncs plugin.json with marketplace.json.
  • Generates or augments the ## v{version} section in CHANGELOG.md, including PR/issue bookkeeping subsections and profile links.
  • Creates {plugin}--v{version} tags after classifying remote tag state, refusing to move or delete an already-published tag.
  • Assembles the release body and publishes it (or leaves it as a draft).

Who it's for

  • Monorepo maintainers versioning several plugins or packages independently.
  • Open-source maintainers who want automated release notes that still credit every contributor.
  • Teams forking the Han plugin suite to run their own marketplace.

Examples

  • "Cut a release" → collects PRs, proposes the version plan, then asks before creating any tag.
  • "Release but pause before publishing" → stops so you can review the changelog diff and assembled notes.
  • "Ship a draft release" → tags are still pushed, but the release page stays a draft.

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. Verify prerequisites: which gh jq claude — all three CLIs are required, plus a git checkout.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/testdouble/han.git
  3. Create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r han/.claude/skills/han-release ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Confirm the bundled references/ folder and scripts/remote-tag-state.sh came along, then make the script executable: chmod +x ~/.claude/skills/han-release/scripts/remote-tag-state.sh
  6. Restart Claude Code, make sure your working tree is clean, and ask it to "cut a release".
  7. Note: the skill assumes the Han repo layout (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json); adapt paths and tag conventions before using it elsewhere.
