What it does
Scarrillo Release is a Claude Code plugin aimed at solo builders shipping Apple-platform software who are tired of hand-writing changelogs, semver bumps, and TestFlight testing notes for every build. It packages release automation concepts—git tags, semantic versioning, ADR-aware documentation, and CI/CD-friendly release artifacts—into an agent-assisted toolkit rather than a generic writing skill. Place it on ship launch because its outputs face testers and users immediately, though you will also use it while planning version strategy in build PM. It complements Xcode-centric workflows and emphasizes structured release notes over ad-hoc Slack summaries. The catalog lists one plugin from scarrillo/release with productivity-oriented keywords spanning iOS, macOS, TestFlight, and versioning. With 8 GitHub stars it is niche but well-scoped: not security scanning, not markdown lint alone, but release narrative and version discipline for indie app shipping.

Why builders use it
Indie iOS and macOS builders lose hours reconciling git history, semver, and TestFlight what-to-test copy every time they cut a release.
After install, you get Claude-guided changelog, release-notes, and versioning workflows tied to git tags and CI/CD-style release automation.
