Plugin Release Cutter

Contributor-only skill that drives a full release: version bump across manifests, CHANGELOG finalization, a mandatory `make ci` gate, commit, tag and GitHub release.

Dev & CodingAdvanced★ 556⑂ 42AI score 7/10Last updated: Sep 21, 2026

What it does

  • Bumps the version consistently across five hand-edited files (canonical plugin.json, two sub-plugin manifests, package.json, package-lock.json) and regenerates templated manifests with make generated-skills-sync / make generated-skills-snapshots.
  • Renames ## [Unreleased] to ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD and re-adds a fresh empty Unreleased section.
  • Hard-gates on a green make ci before anything is committed.
  • Requires explicit user confirmation before pushing the tag and running gh release create, prepending upgrade warnings and appending the docs-site footer to the release body.
  • Verifies afterwards with gh release view and git describe --tags so plugin.json, CHANGELOG and tag all agree.

Who it's for

  • Maintainers of this Elixir/Phoenix plugin repository.
  • Developers running marketplace-style monorepos where several manifests must share one version.
  • Teams looking for a worked example of a release checklist encoded as an executable skill.

Example uses

  1. /release patch — docs-only change: bump the patch version, confirm README needs no edit, publish.
  2. /release 3.1.0 — a new skill landed: set the minor version, finalize the CHANGELOG, tag v3.1.0.
  3. Several unreleased phased bumps stacked up: use git describe --tags as the base and collapse them into a single release.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the .claude/skills/release folder from the GitHub repo oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix into my ~/.claude/skills/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/oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-elixir-phoenix/.claude/skills/release ~/.claude/skills/

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

  1. Open a terminal and go to your working directory.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix.git
  3. Create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r claude-elixir-phoenix/.claude/skills/release ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Check that references/templates.md came along; re-copy it from the repo if missing.
  6. Restart Claude Code and ask it to "cut a release" to trigger the skill.
  7. Note: it assumes this repo's paths, Makefile targets and the gh CLI. Adapt paths and commands before using it on another project.
