Chooses ecosystem-native release and changelog tooling (Changesets, Melos, release-plz) plus binary distribution (GitHub Release tarballs, install.sh) when the product is an executable. Use for release CI, install.sh, versioning, CHANGELOGs, shipping MCP/CLI without clone, or meta repos that only ship skills via npx skills—not domain app tutorials.
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 & changelog harness Make **releases understandable**: every version bump has structured intent that agents and humans can read in git—not only in a maintainer’s head or a GitHub Releases textarea. This skill is **meta harness culture** (which tool, which gates, which docs). It is **not** a full tutorial for every package manager. Follow [work discipline](../../docs/core/work-discipline.mdx). The former `plugin-marketplace-setup` skill was removed in 0.6.0. ## Mixture of experts — critique your idea | Expert lens | Verdict on “use JS Changesets everywhere” | |-------------|-------------------------------------------| | **JS monorepo maintainer** | Strong default: `.changeset/*.md` + `changeset version` beats hand-editing five `package.json` files. | | **Dart / Flutter publisher** | Weak fit as-is: pub uses tags + `CHANGELOG.md`; monorepos often use **Melos** `version` / `changelog`, not npm Changesets. | | **Rust / Go shipper** | Use **release-plz**, **cargo-release**, or **git-cliff**—forcing Changesets adds alien workflow. | | **Agent operator** | Wins when notes live as **small structured files in git** agents can read and PR—not prose-only in Slack. | …

How to install
mdr add arenukvern/skill_steward/release-changelog-harness@sha256:bde450eb4f96c5ffThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
