Releasing (Bundle-Plugin Release Pipeline)
A rigid, step-by-step release orchestrator for bundle-plugins: pre-flight audits, doc sync, version bump, CHANGELOG, tag, and GitHub Release.

What it does
- Enforces prerequisites first: clean working tree, main branch check, no pre-existing version tag.
- Runs automated pre-flight checks (
bundles-forge bump-version --check,audit-docs, full quality/security audit, optionalclaude plugin validate). - Reviews the diff since the last tag for contradictions, missing skill registrations, stale references, and over-engineering, reported by severity.
- Syncs docs/, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and README variants with the real project state.
- Guides semver choice (major/minor/patch/pre-release) and bumps every declared manifest in one command.
- Writes and validates a Keep a Changelog entry, then commits, tags, pushes, and creates a GitHub Release via
gh. - Includes an abbreviated hotfix pipeline for urgent patches.
Who it's for
- Developers shipping plugin/skill bundles across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI.
- Maintainers of bundles-forge projects who have been bitten by version drift across manifests.
- Teams that want a repeatable release checklist instead of ad-hoc tagging.
Examples
- "Release version 2.1.0 of this plugin" → pre-flight → audit → doc sync → bump → CHANGELOG → tag + GitHub Release.
- "The Cursor manifest still says 1.4.2 — fix the drift" → runs the version check and updates every manifest consistently.
- "Hotfix a hook bug now" → abbreviated pipeline, patch bump,
### Fixedentry, publish.

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/OdradekAI/bundles-forge/HEAD/skills/releasing/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)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/releasing folder from the GitHub repo OdradekAI/bundles-forge into my ~/.claude/skills/releasing/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/OdradekAI/bundles-forge.git /tmp/bundles-forge && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/bundles-forge/skills/releasing ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/OdradekAI/bundles-forge.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r bundles-forge/skills/releasing ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm the
references/files came along (they hold the version-infrastructure and distribution docs). - Make sure the
bundles-forgeCLI is installed and on your PATH; install GitHub CLI and rungh auth loginif you want automatic GitHub Releases. - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "prepare this project for release" to trigger the skill.
