Plugin Release Cutter (release)

A maintainer-only release playbook that keeps plugin.json, CHANGELOG and git tags in lockstep, gates on a green CI, and publishes the GitHub release only after explicit confirmation.

Dev & CodingAdvanced★ 573⑂ 45AI score 7/10Last updated: Nov 6, 2026

What it does

  • Bumps the version across five hand-edited files (three plugin.jsons, package.json, package-lock.json) and regenerates two templated manifests.
  • Converts ## [Unreleased] into ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD and re-adds a fresh empty [Unreleased].
  • Hard-gates on make ci — no green, no release, checked before the commit exists.
  • Creates the four required tags on the release commit and pushes plus gh release create only after you confirm.
  • Prepends an upgrade [!WARNING] block when needed and appends the docs-site footer to the release body.

Who it's for

  • Maintainers and contributors of this Elixir/Phoenix plugin monorepo.
  • Anyone shipping multi-package repos who has been burned by mismatched versions silently blocking user updates.
  • Engineers looking for a battle-tested release checklist template to adapt to their own project.

Examples

  1. /release patch — doc-only [Unreleased] entries, so it picks the patch bump, finalizes the CHANGELOG, and runs the CI gate.
  2. /release 3.1.0 — a minor release adding a new skill: syncs all five version strings and re-checks the skill/agent counts in README.
  3. Several unreleased phased bumps stacked across branches: it consolidates them into a single version computed from the last released tag.

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix/HEAD/.claude/skills/release/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI 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 /tmp/claude-elixir-phoenix && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/release && cp -r /tmp/claude-elixir-phoenix/.claude/skills/release/* ~/.claude/skills/release/

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

  1. Open a terminal in your working directory.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix.git
  3. Create the skill directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/release
  4. Copy the files: cp -r claude-elixir-phoenix/.claude/skills/release/* ~/.claude/skills/release/
  5. Verify that references/templates.md came along — it holds the CHANGELOG/release-note templates and gate snippets.
  6. Make sure the prerequisites are installed and authenticated: git, gh (GitHub CLI), npm, make, and the claude plugin tag command.
  7. Restart Claude Code and invoke it from inside this repo, e.g. "cut a patch release". To reuse it elsewhere, rewrite the file paths and build commands for your own project first.
