Plan and run a release train in the Styled Markdown repository. Given a list of features for a release (e.g. "1.2.0: link completion, smd fmt, mermaid diagnostics"), create the release branch and one independent branch per feature, develop each in its own worktree, merge feature PRs into the release branch, then — after the release is tagged and published — merge the release branch into main. Use this skill whenever the user gives features for a version, asks to start/plan a release or…

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

# Version control: the release train

Every change reaches `main` through a release branch:

```text
main ──► release/vX.Y.Z ──► feat/a ──┐
                        ├──► feat/b ──┼──(squash PRs)──► release/vX.Y.Z ──► tag vX.Y.Z ──► publish ──(merge commit PR)──► main
                        └──► fix/c ───┘
```

- `main` only ever contains **released** code, so it always matches the latest tag.
- `release/vX.Y.Z` is the integration branch for one version. It is opened at its version: the bump and changelog heading are its first commit.
- Each **major feature** gets its own branch from the release branch, so features are developed, reviewed and dropped independently.

The compatibility gate, versioning rules, changelog format and publishing steps come from the **smd-release** skill. Follow it at the points marked ▶ smd-release.

## 1. Plan the release from the feature list

1. Pin down the version and the feature list.
   - If the user points at the roadmap ("the v1.2 items"), read that milestone with the styled-markdown-reader skill (`smd agent ROADMAP.smd --section "v1.2…"`) and take the unchecked items.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bislink360/styled-markdown/version-control@sha256:be8715bcb04468ad

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.dca8800, 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.
