What releasing-software does

Before a release, the skill checks build paths in goreleaser.yml, GitHub Actions workflows, the Makefile, and Dockerfile. Its checklist also covers Go test files, local tests and builds, documentation, release settings, and Git status. It asks the agent to create a TodoWrite item for each checklist entry.

Once checks pass, the sequence is to commit changes, let pre-commit hooks finish, push the branch, and wait for green CI before creating and pushing a tag. Afterward, the skill checks the release workflow and its assets. In Go 1.23+, a coverage step can fail when a package has no test file, so inspect packages before running CI. The guide also explains patch, minor, and major version bumps.

What it helps with

  • check build paths before a release
  • find Go packages without test files
  • compare local checks with CI
  • update version references and release docs
  • verify the release workflow after pushing a tag

Example prompts for the agent

  • Prepare a release: check builds, tests, docs, and Git status.
  • Review the project before tagging, and wait for CI to pass.
  • Find Go packages without tests and check the coverage step.
