Cut a PPDS Skills package release — get the recapture, decide the version bump, clean up prose, update CHANGELOG, tag + GitHub Release. Use when PPDS ships a new stable CLI/MCP that the skills package must track, or to publish any skills-package version bump.

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 (PPDS Skills package)

No NuGet/npm pipeline — users install from the repo / plugin marketplace, so a
"release" is a reviewed version bump on `main` plus a tag and GitHub Release. The
recapture is automated; this skill covers the judgment + finalization left to a
human.

## When

- A new **stable** PPDS CLI/MCP shipped (the usual trigger — the engine's
  `release` skill §8 dispatches the recapture automatically), or
- any change warranting a published version bump.

## 1. Get the recapture

Preferred — let the automation produce the PR:

```bash
gh workflow run recapture-on-release.yml
```

It installs the released CLI/MCP, regenerates `captured-help/` + references, bumps
the frontmatter pins, runs the gate, and opens a PR. **Gotchas:** the *Allow
GitHub Actions to create and approve PRs* repo setting must be on, and a
bot-opened PR shows no CI — **close/reopen it** to fire `skill-evals`.

Offline alternative: `dotnet tool update -g PPDS.Cli && dotnet tool update -g PPDS.Mcp`
then `python3 tools/recapture.py`. See CONTRIBUTING "Regenerating the references".

## 2. Read the capture diff → decide the version bump
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add joshsmithxrm/ppds-skills/release@sha256:259ec4f00934d4a8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260617.c8da235, 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.
