Release Claude Code Plugin

What problem does it solve?

This skill orchestrates a safe, auditable release of a Claude Code plugin by synchronizing changelogs, version files, and git tags.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Release orchestration from version-branch validation through main merge, tag creation, and preparation of the next version branch.
• Automatic alignment of CHANGELOG.md, package.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and migrations/registry.json to ensure a clean, trackable release.
• Use case: When a plugin version is ready for distribution, trigger the release workflow to publish the version with proper history and migration scaffolding.

Quick Start

Confirm your current branch is the release version branch, ensure all changes are committed, and follow the release sequence: tests, version validation, changelog update, merge to main, tag creation, next-version branch setup, migration script creation, registry update, commit, and push.
