semantic-release-beta

Use this skill when a project needs a reusable beta prerelease workflow with:

  • semantic-release
  • semantic-release-npm-github-publish
  • GitHub Actions
  • a stable main branch
  • a prerelease beta branch
  • npm publishing with beta prerelease versions
  • changelog generation, GitHub releases, npm publishing, and release commits through the maintained preset

Trigger phrases

  • add a beta release workflow
  • publish prereleases from a beta branch
  • set up semantic-release with main and beta
  • use semantic-release-npm-github-publish
  • add release validation or dry-run checks in CI

Workflow

  1. Inspect the repository first.
  2. Install or update semantic-release, semantic-release-npm-github-publish, and the peer plugins expected by the preset.
  3. Configure the repo-local semantic-release file to extend semantic-release-npm-github-publish and set branches explicitly:
    • main for stable releases
    • { name: "beta", channel: "beta", prerelease: "beta" } for prereleases
  4. Add scripts if missing:
    • semantic-release: semantic-release
    • release:dry-run: semantic-release --dry-run --no-ci
  5. Update GitHub Actions to test both main and beta, validate npm auth, and run release dry-run before real releases.
  6. Preserve existing package manager and Node version policy unless the repo needs the preset's supported Node range.
  7. Use repo-local plugin composition instead of this preset only when the project needs different plugins, different release rules, or full control over plugin upgrade timing.
