Coordinate a full Paperclip release across engineering verification, npm, GitHub, smoke testing, and announcement follow-up. Use when leadership asks to ship a release, not merely to discuss versioning.
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 Coordination Skill
Run the full Paperclip maintainer release workflow, not just an npm publish.
This skill coordinates:
- stable changelog drafting via `release-changelog`
- canary verification and publish status from `master`
- Docker smoke testing via `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh`
- manual stable promotion from a chosen source ref
- GitHub Release creation
- website / announcement follow-up tasks
- release-content Cases dogfood: a top-level `release` case with child
`blog_post` and `tweet_storm` cases, all linked to the release issue/run
## Trigger
Use this skill when leadership asks for:
- "do a release"
- "ship the release"
- "promote this canary to stable"
- "cut the stable release"
## Preconditions
Before proceeding, verify all of the following:
1. `.agents/skills/release-changelog/SKILL.md` exists and is usable.
2. The repo working tree is clean, including untracked files.
3. There is at least one canary or candidate commit since the last stable tag.
4. The candidate SHA has passed the verification gate or is about to.
5. If manifests changed, the CI-owned `pnpm-lock.yaml` refresh is already merged on `master`.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.5c85ae6, 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.
