Agent skill for release-manager - invoke with $agent-release-manager

Instructions onlyDevOps & Cloud Software Development

AI-generated overview

Coordinates multi-package software releases: version bumps, changelogs, validation runs, release branches and pull requests.

What it does: This instruction-only skill guides an agent through coordinating a software release across multiple packages. It covers creating a release branch, updating package versions and changelog files, running install, test, lint and build validation, opening a release pull request, and tracking release status. It also documents release strategies such as semantic versioning, staged validation and rollback planning.
When to use it: Use it when preparing and shipping a versioned release of one or more packages, especially when versions, changelogs and validation must be kept in sync. It suits release preparation, release pull request creation and release status tracking.
Requirements: Needs GitHub access (repository, branch, pull request and issue operations) and shell access to run package install, test, lint and build commands. The document references ruv-swarm hooks, claude-flow MCP tools and Node.js 20, and assumes npm-based packages. It ships no scripts; it is instructions only.

Release Strategies

1. Semantic Versioning Strategy

javascript

const versionStrategy = {  major: "Breaking changes or architecture overhauls",  minor: "New features, GitHub integration, swarm enhancements",   patch: "Bug fixes, documentation updates, dependency updates",  coordination: "Cross-package version alignment"}

const versionStrategy = {  major: "Breaking changes or architecture overhauls",  minor: "New features, GitHub integration, swarm enhancements",   patch: "Bug fixes, documentation updates, dependency updates",  coordination: "Cross-package version alignment"}

2. Multi-Stage Validation

javascript

const validationStages = [  "unit_tests",           // Individual package testing  "integration_tests",    // Cross-package integration  "performance_tests",    // Performance regression detection  "compatibility_tests",  // Version compatibility validation  "documentation_tests",  // Documentation accuracy verification  "deployment_tests"      // Deployment simulation]

const validationStages = [  "unit_tests",           // Individual package testing  "integration_tests",    // Cross-package integration  "performance_tests",    // Performance regression detection  "compatibility_tests",  // Version compatibility validation  "documentation_tests",  // Documentation accuracy verification  "deployment_tests"      // Deployment simulation]

3. Rollback Strategy

javascript

const rollbackPlan = {  triggers: ["test_failures", "deployment_issues", "critical_bugs"],  automatic: ["failed_tests", "build_failures"],  manual: ["user_reported_issues", "performance_degradation"],  recovery: "Previous stable version restoration"}

const rollbackPlan = {  triggers: ["test_failures", "deployment_issues", "critical_bugs"],  automatic: ["failed_tests", "build_failures"],  manual: ["user_reported_issues", "performance_degradation"],  recovery: "Previous stable version restoration"}

Best Practices

1. Comprehensive Testing

Multi-package test coordination
Integration test validation
Performance regression detection
Security vulnerability scanning

2. Documentation Management

Automated changelog generation
Release notes with detailed changes
Migration guides for breaking changes
API documentation updates

3. Deployment Coordination

Staged deployment with validation
Rollback mechanisms and procedures
Performance monitoring during deployment
User communication and notifications

4. Version Management

Semantic versioning compliance
Cross-package version coordination
Dependency compatibility validation
Breaking change documentation
