Ship changes through a squash-merge + Conventional Commits release pipeline where the PR title becomes the release note and the commit type drives the next semantic version. Use when writing a PR title or commit message that feeds an automated release, choosing the version bump for a change, setting up or reasoning about semantic-release / release-please / github-tag-action / Changesets, or avoiding a title that corrupts the changelog.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Conventional Release

A widely-used release pattern: every PR is **squash-merged**, its **title is a
[Conventional Commit](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/)**, and an automated tool on the default
branch reads the commit type to calculate the next [SemVer](https://semver.org/) tag, cut a release,
and generate the changelog. No human writes a version number or a changelog entry by hand — the merge
title *is* the release note, and the type *is* the bump.

Use this skill whenever you open or merge a PR into a repository that releases this way, or when you
need to decide which version a change should produce.

## How to tell a repo uses this pattern

Look for any one of:

- A release tool wired to run on push to the default branch:
  [`semantic-release`](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release),
  [`release-please`](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please),
  [`mathieudutour/github-tag-action`](https://github.com/mathieudutour/github-tag-action), or
  [Changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets).
- Branch protection that **only allows squash merging** (so the PR title is the sole commit message
  that reaches the default branch).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add devantler-tech/agent-plugins/conventional-release@sha256:4ad608652e91be17

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.a93c2ab, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
