Prepare a repository for release by checking versioning, changelog, tests, build artifacts, tags, package metadata, and release notes. Use when asked to cut a release, prepare release notes, publish a package, tag a version, or verify release readiness.

Release Prep
Use this skill to make releases repeatable and evidence-backed. Do not tag, push, publish, or create a hosted release until repository identity, remote, and release target are verified.
Workflow
- Identify the current version, package ecosystem, release branch, remote, and release conventions.
- Inspect recent commits, changelog, previous tags, existing release notes, package metadata, and CI status.
- Determine required release files: version bumps, changelog entries, generated docs, lockfiles, manifests, distribution artifacts, or migration notes.
- Run the repository's release gates: tests, lint, typecheck, build, package validation, smoke tests, and docs generation when applicable.
- Prepare release notes from real commits and PRs. Group by user impact, fixes, breaking changes, and internal changes.
- Create tags, hosted releases, or package uploads only when explicitly requested and after identity verification.
Checks
- Version numbers are consistent across manifests and docs.
- Changelog matches actual changes.
- Build artifacts are regenerated only when the repo tracks them.
- Breaking changes and migration steps are documented.
- Package metadata links, license, README, and files included in the package are correct.
- Release commands are current and tested where possible.
Output
Report release readiness, files changed, verification commands, proposed release notes, and any blockers before publish.
