# goal-release Drives a release end to end: opens the PR, waits for green CI, merges it and updates the Homebrew formula. Handy when a version has to ship in one go. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · ★ 1552 - Author: dyoshikawa - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/dyoshikawa/rulesync/tree/HEAD/.rulesync/skills/goal-release/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-24 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/goal-release ## What it does The skill chains other skills together. First `draft-release` creates a `release/v` branch with the version-bump commits, opens a pull request against `main` and creates a draft GitHub release with notes. Then `goal-release` waits on the GitHub Actions checks, fixes failures on the release branch and pushes, and once CI is green calls `merge-pr`, which re-verifies the PR state and merges with `gh pr merge --admin --merge`. You can pass a version or leave it out. A supplied `new_version` has to match `^v?\d+\.\d+\.\d+$`, otherwise the skill stops and reports instead of continuing. With no argument the version comes from `release-dry-run`. CI fixes are capped at 3 attempts, and they have to be real fixes — skipping or deleting tests, weakening lint or type-check config, or editing workflows is off the table. The last step is the Homebrew formula. The skill waits for the `Publish Assets` workflow, then for the release to go public (while it is still a draft, asset URLs return 404 and `brew install` breaks for everyone), downloads `SHA256SUMS` and regenerates `Formula/rulesync.rb` with `scripts/generate-homebrew-formula.ts`. That change lands as its own PR. You need `gh`, `pnpm` and admin rights on the repository. ## Requirements - Works with: GitHub ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add dyoshikawa/rulesync --skill goal-release -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/goal-release/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/goal-release/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add dyoshikawa/rulesync --skill goal-release -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/goal-release/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add dyoshikawa/rulesync --skill goal-release -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/goal-release/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install dyoshikawa/rulesync goal-release ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/goal-release/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add dyoshikawa/rulesync --skill goal-release -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/dyoshikawa/rulesync --path .rulesync/skills/goal-release ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/goal-release/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add dyoshikawa/rulesync --skill goal-release -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/dyoshikawa/rulesync/tree/HEAD/.rulesync/skills/goal-release/SKILL.md ## When to use it - ship a release from version bump to merge without manual steps - wait for green CI and fix failing checks on the release branch - regenerate the Homebrew formula from fresh checksums - avoid merging the formula before the release goes public - make sure the merged PR is the release one, not some other ## Example prompts - cut a release v1.2.3 - ship the next version end to end, pick the version yourself - run goal-release and update the Homebrew formula ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE 5e8a00a9efced790 ````text --- name: goal-release description: >- Cut a release end to end: use the `draft-release` skill to open the release PR and draft GitHub release, wait for CI to turn green, run the `merge-pr` skill to merge the release PR, then update the Homebrew formula from the published release assets. Use when the user wants to draft and merge a release in one go, or triggers on "the `goal-release` skill". targets: - "*" --- # Goal Release new_version = the user's request This skill drives a release all the way to merge. It uses the `draft-release` skill to open the release pull request (and create the draft GitHub release), waits for the PR's CI checks to pass, runs the `merge-pr` skill to merge it, and finally updates the Homebrew tap formula once the release assets are built. ## 1. Draft the Release Use the `draft-release` skill with `new_version`. - If `new_version` is provided (e.g. `v1.2.3` or `1.2.3`), it must match the semver shape `^v?\d+\.\d+\.\d+$` — if it does not, stop and report instead of passing it on. Pass a valid value through unchanged; the `draft-release` skill normalizes the `v` prefix itself. - If `new_version` is empty, pass no argument; the `draft-release` skill determines the next version automatically via the `release-dry-run` skill. When the `draft-release` skill finishes, it has: - created a `release/v` branch with the version-bump commits, - opened a pull request against `main`, and - created a draft GitHub release `v` with the release notes. If the `draft-release` skill failed partway (e.g. the PR exists but the draft release was not created, or it stopped before opening the PR), stop here and report the partial state to the user instead of continuing. ## 2. Resolve the Release PR Use the PR number or URL that the `draft-release` skill's `gh pr create` printed in Step 1 when available. Otherwise, identify the pull request from the current `release/v` branch: ```bash gh pr view --json number,title,state,headRefName ``` Confirm that `headRefName` matches the `release/v` branch created in Step 1. This skill must only ever merge that release PR — if the resolved PR is a different one, stop and report to the user instead of merging. ## 3. Wait for CI Wait for the release PR's GitHub Actions checks to finish: ```bash gh pr checks --watch ``` If the watch reports that no checks are registered yet, wait a moment and retry — checks can take a few seconds to appear right after the PR is opened. ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE 5e8a00a9efced790 The third-party file has ended.
