Cut a new release — bump package.json + VERSION in lockstep, commit, tag with a per-version breakdown since the last published baseline, push, publish a GitHub Release, and publish to npm. Five approval gates; the user edits release notes in their preferred editor.
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
You're cutting a new release. The user owns the final word at every gate and edits the release notes directly in their preferred editor.
A release is one atomic fact — package.json version, the `VERSION` file, the git tag, the GitHub Release, and the npm publish all name the same thing. This command's job is to advance them together. Letting any one of them move without the others is the drift this command exists to prevent.
**Invocation input:** `patch`, `minor`, or `major`. If empty, ask through the host's user-interaction capability or directly in chat.
## What to do
1. **Pre-flight.** Run in parallel:
- `git status --porcelain` — must be clean. If dirty, list the files and ask whether to abort or stash.
- `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD` — confirm we're on the default branch (typically `main`). If not, warn and ask before proceeding.
- Establish the **current version** from up to three sources, and detect drift between them:
- `package.json` `version` (if a `package.json` exists) — the source npm publishes from.
- `VERSION` file at repo root (if present).
- Latest git tag: `git describe --tags --abbrev=0` (strip leading `v`).

How to install
mdr add nonlinear-xyz/factory-kit/factory-release@sha256:df0ddc7dd6d32d42The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.517fb94, 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.
