conventional-release skillA

conventional-release is agent-read markdown (skill) from devantler-tech/agent-skills: Ship changes through a squash-merge + Conventional Commits release pipeline where the PR title becomes the release note and the commit type drives the next semantic version. Use when writing a PR title or commit message that feeds an automated release, choosing the version bump for a change, setting up or reasoning about semantic-release / release-please / github-tag-action / Changesets, or avoiding a title that corrupts the changelog..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Conventional Release

A widely-used release pattern: every PR is **squash-merged**, its **title is a
[Conventional Commit](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/)**, and an automated tool on the default
branch reads the commit type to calculate the next [SemVer](https://semver.org/) tag, cut a release,
and generate the changelog. No human writes a version number or a changelog entry by hand — the merge
title *is* the release note, and the type *is* the bump.

Use this skill whenever you open or merge a PR into a repository that releases this way, or when you
need to decide which version a change should produce.

## How to tell a repo uses this pattern

Look for any one of:

- A release tool wired to run on push to the default branch:
  [`semantic-release`](https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release),
  [`release-please`](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please),
  [`mathieudutour/github-tag-action`](https://github.com/mathieudutour/github-tag-action), or
  [Changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets).
- Branch protection that **only allows squash merging** (so the PR title is the sole commit message
  that reaches the default branch).

How to install

Latest version
mdr add devantler-tech/agent-skills/conventional-release@git:20260628.69b72ea
Exact content
mdr add devantler-tech/agent-skills/conventional-release@sha256:4ad608652e91be17

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
