Executes the release workflow for a repository after release-gate passes. Use when tagging, cutting, or shipping a release. Follows the prep-PR pattern: version bump, CHANGELOG, and walkthrough ship in one PR before tagging.

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

# Release

Final step in the release pipeline. Assumes `release-gate` has already passed and the target version has been decided.

This skill follows the **prep-PR pattern**: version bump + CHANGELOG + walkthrough ship as one atomic PR. The tag is applied **after merge**, pointing at the merged commit. Never use a tool that bumps and tags in one step (`npm version`, `bun version`, `hatch version --tag`) — they tag immediately and skip the CHANGELOG and walkthrough entirely.

The workflow is a single linear pass — run the phases in order:

0. Read the plan → 1. Prep branch → 2. Version bump → 3. CHANGELOG → 4. Walkthrough → 5. Build, commit & open PR → **(merge)** → 6. Gate, then tag → 7. Push tag → 8. Release notes → 9. Deploy → 10. Verify

## Prerequisites

Before starting, confirm:

- `release-gate` passed with no FAIL status, **or** exited `3` (NOT STARTED),
  which is the normal state before a release: it means the current version is already
  tagged and phases 1-5 below are exactly what it is asking for. Phase 6 re-runs the gate
  itself and requires exit `0` — that check is a step in the workflow, not a precondition
  to remember.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add philoserf/claude-code-config/release-ship@sha256:463960487c8eb1ac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.f35a5bc, 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.
