What problem does it solve? Releasing a new version of the JobScan plugin involves many error-prone manual steps — bumping the version string, running validation gates, writing the changelog, opening a pull request, and drafting release notes — and skipping any one of them means users never receive the update. This Skill walks through the entire release workflow in the repository's established house style so nothing is missed or done inconsistently. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Release gating: Runs a preflight script that validates plugin and marketplace manifests, checks the 44-question documentation invariant, runs triage unit tests, and confirms the version in plugin.json matches a CHANGELOG section. - Version and changelog management: Bumps the single version string in plugin.json following semantic versioning rules and writes a Keep a Changelog entry covering only user-facing plugin changes. - PR and release notes drafting: Opens a pull request via the GitHub MCP tools and produces release notes in the documented house style, with a public body and a private supporting-information block separated by a cut line. - Use Case: After merging fixes to the JobScan plugin, ask to ship version 0.5.0 — the Skill verifies there is something worth releasing, runs all gates, writes the changelog entry, opens the PR, and hands over the tag name, release notes file, and pre-filled release URL for the two browser-only steps. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to ship version 0.5.0 of the JobScan plugin and open a pull request for it.
