Prepare and operate repository releases through a finite, approval-gated hosted workflow. Use when the user asks to inspect release status, check setup, record component impact, create a generated release PR, plan or approve publication, dispatch post-release evidence, or prepare the OpenAI handoff.

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 Manager

## Goal

Prepare and operate a release through repository-owned hosted workflows without creating local tags or releases.

## When to use

- The user asks to prepare, review, or draft a release.
- Release setup, component impact, generated version PRs, protected publication,
  evidence, or OpenAI handoff needs review or execution.

## When not to use

- The user wants a PR review before merge; use `pr-review`.
- The user wants a repository-wide maintenance audit; use `repo-health-audit`.
- The repository has no explicit hosted release contract; first inspect its native
  instructions and ADRs.

## Inputs

- Requested command and its exact arguments.
- Repository release configuration, manifest, component versions, hosted runs,
  release environment policy, and publication evidence.

## Inputs to inspect

- Inspect the repository-native `release:manage` surface before selecting a route.
- Check accepted ADRs, current branch/SHA, release history, component versions,
  hosted validation, environment policy, and evidence by layer.

## Process

1. Select exactly one supported workflow from the finite set below.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stark-ai-de/agent-skills/release-manager@sha256:921988446380f165

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.1, 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.
