Prepare

Confirm the repo is on main and clean. Keep changes aligned with OpenCode primitives like .opencode, opencode.json, skills, and plugins when relevant.

---

Bump

Update versions in packages/app/package.json, packages/desktop/package.json, packages/orchestrator/package.json (publishes as openwork-orchestrator), packages/desktop/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json, and packages/desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml. Use one of these commands.

pnpm bump:patch
pnpm bump:minor
pnpm bump:major
pnpm bump:set -- 0.1.21

---

Merge

Merge the version bump into main. Make sure no secrets or credentials are committed.

---

Tag

Create and push the tag to trigger the Release App workflow.

git tag vX.Y.Z
git push origin vX.Y.Z

---

Rerun

If a tag needs a rerun, dispatch the workflow.

gh workflow run "Release App" --repo different-ai/openwork -f tag=vX.Y.Z

---

Verify

Confirm the run and the published release.

gh run list --repo different-ai/openwork --workflow "Release App" --limit 5
gh release view vX.Y.Z --repo different-ai/openwork
