Automates GitHub releases with semantic versioning, changelog generation from merged PRs, and gh CLI integration. Supports draft, prerelease, and standard release workflows with task-tracked multi-phase execution. Use when creating releases, tagging versions, or publishing changelogs.

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

Automate releases with `gh release`, semantic versioning, and changelog generation.

> **CC ≥ 2.1.118 (M122):** `claude plugin tag <version>` validates the plugin manifest hierarchy (marketplace.json, plugin.json, package.json, version.txt) before tagging. Runs `--dry-run` in CI before release-please opens its release PR; catches manifest drift early. See `src/skills/chain-patterns/references/plugin-tag.md`.

## CRITICAL: Task Management is MANDATORY (CC 2.1.16)

**BEFORE doing ANYTHING else, create tasks to track progress:**

```python
# 1. Create main task IMMEDIATELY
TaskCreate(
  subject="Release: {version}",
  description="Creating release with semantic versioning and changelog",
  activeForm="Releasing {version}"
)

# 2. Create subtasks for each release phase
TaskCreate(subject="Version & changelog", activeForm="Determining version and generating changelog")
TaskCreate(subject="Create release", activeForm="Creating GitHub release")
TaskCreate(subject="Verify & announce", activeForm="Verifying release and announcing")

# 3. Set dependencies for sequential phases
TaskUpdate(taskId="3", addBlockedBy=["2"])
TaskUpdate(taskId="4", addBlockedBy=["3"])
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yonatangross/orchestkit/release-management@sha256:1f215d21cfa3a48a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
