Cut an emet release: bump plugin.json, move CHANGELOG [Unreleased], open the develop to main merge-commit PR and tag main. Use when asked to release, cut a version or publish a tag.

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

# Cut a release

The full runbook is [docs/how-to/cut-a-release.md](../../../docs/how-to/cut-a-release.md). Read it first; this skill is the short form.

## Steps

1. Confirm the version `X.Y.Z` with the user (Semantic Versioning) and that `develop` holds everything to ship.
2. Branch `chore/release-vX.Y.Z` from `develop`.
3. Set `version` in `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` to `X.Y.Z`.
4. In `CHANGELOG.md`, rename `## [Unreleased]` to `## [X.Y.Z] - <today>` and add an empty `## [Unreleased]` above it.
5. Run `bun run check` and `bun run test`, then commit with the `git-commit` skill and open a PR into `develop`.
6. Open the `develop` to `main` PR and merge it with a merge commit once `CI passed` is green. Never squash or rebase it.
7. Tag the merge commit on `main` as `vX.Y.Z` and push the tag. The Release workflow verifies CI and publishes.

Ask the user before pushing the tag or merging the PR. Never push to `main` or `develop` directly.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add andryorelabs/emet/cut-release@sha256:17f61cca2e4c5419

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.1f09392, 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.
