Use this skill when preparing a new software release — version bumping, changelog generation, git tag workflows, release notes drafting, semantic versioning decisions, and CI release pipeline management. Covers the full release lifecycle from version selection to distribution.

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 Management

## Overview

Structured release management workflow covering versioning, changelogs, git tagging, release notes, CI/CD release automation, and rollback procedures. Ensures every release is traceable, documented, and recoverable.

## When to Use

- Cutting a new version before deployment
- Deciding the next version number (major/minor/patch)
- Writing or updating a changelog
- Tagging a git release
- Drafting release notes for stakeholders
- Reviewing or troubleshooting a CI release pipeline
- Planning a hotfix or security release
- Preparing rollback procedures

## Semantic Versioning (SemVer)

### Version Format: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`

| Bump | When | Example |
|------|------|---------|
| **MAJOR** | Breaking API changes, incompatible changes | 1.x → 2.0.0 |
| **MINOR** | New features, backward-compatible | 1.1.0 → 1.2.0 |
| **PATCH** | Bug fixes, backward-compatible | 1.1.1 → 1.1.2 |

### Additional Labels

| Label | Meaning | Example |
|-------|---------|---------|
| -alpha.N | Early testing, incomplete | 2.0.0-alpha.1 |
| -beta.N | Feature-complete, testing | 2.0.0-beta.1 |
| -rc.N | Release candidate | 2.0.0-rc.1 |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jpeetz/agent-skills/release-management@sha256:ec481cac6231b389

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.ddc2cce, 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.
