# create-release

**This skill is a dispatch shim. Do not perform the work yourself.**

Immediately invoke the `create-release-runner` subagent via the Agent tool, which contains the full create-release workflow.

## Required invocation

Call the Agent tool with:

- `subagent_type`: `create-release-runner`
- `description`: `Cut and publish a release`
- `prompt`: Pass through the user's request verbatim, plus any context the user already provided in this session (target version or bump type, whether to bump an in-app version, release-notes specifics, etc.). The agent has its own copy of the workflow — do not paste workflow steps into the prompt. Include only the inputs it needs.

After the agent returns, relay its summary (and the release URL) to the user. Do not re-execute its work.

## Why this exists

The full create-release workflow lives in `~/.claude/agents/create-release-runner.md`. Routing through the agent keeps the workflow in one place instead of duplicating it inline.
