release is a Claude Code skill that bumps versions, builds the binary, and creates a git tag to cut a new shaon release.

About

release is a Claude Code skill that cuts a new release of the shaon project. It bumps the version in Cargo.toml, the plugin.json, and README references, builds the release binary with cargo, runs clippy, shows the diff, commits, and creates an annotated git tag. A developer invokes it with /release and the new semver version when publishing a new shaon build. It reminds the user to git push --follow-tags when ready.

Release Workflow

Run this skill with: /release $ARGUMENTS

$ARGUMENTS should be the new version number (e.g., 0.4.0). If not provided, ask the user.

Steps

1. Validate version: Confirm $ARGUMENTS is a valid semver (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH). Read current version from Cargo.toml.

2. Bump Cargo.toml: Update version = "..." in [package] section.

3. Bump plugin.json: Update "version": "..." in .claude-plugin/plugin.json.

4. Update README.md: Replace any occurrences of the old version string with the new version (e.g., in install commands, badges, or header).

5. Build release binary: Run cargo build --release and confirm it compiles cleanly.

6. Run clippy: Run cargo clippy -- -D warnings to ensure no lint issues.

7. Show diff: Run git diff and present the changes for review.

8. Commit: Create a single commit: Release v{VERSION} with the version-bumped files.

9. Tag: Create an annotated git tag: git tag -a v{VERSION} -m "Release v{VERSION}".

10. Report: Print the new version, tagged commit hash, and cached binary path (~/.cache/shaon/{VERSION}/shaon). Remind the user to git push --follow-tags when ready.
