release-prep	Orchestrates the full release preparation flow for a plugin — version sync across 7+ files, bilingual release notes creation, and commit message drafting. Use before submitting a PR. Does NOT push or create a PR; that is handled by pr-submitter.

Release Prep

Overview

This skill drives the complete pre-PR release pipeline. It enforces the repository rule that every release must synchronize the version number and changelog across at least 7 locations before a commit is created.

Scope

This skill covers:

1. Version sync (delegates detail to version-bumper if needed)
2. Bilingual release notes file creation
3. 7-location consistency verification
4. Conventional Commits message drafting
5. git add -A && git commit execution

It stops before git push or gh pr create. Use the pr-submitter skill for those steps.

Temporary File Convention

Any temporary files created during release prep (e.g., draft changelogs) must:

• Be written to the project's .temp/ directory, NOT system /tmp
• Be cleaned up before commit using rm -f .temp/file_name
• Never be committed to git (add .temp/ to .gitignore)

Workflow

Step 1 — Collect Release Info

Ask the user (or infer from current state) the following:

• Plugin name and type (actions / filters / pipes / tools)
• New version number (e.g., 0.8.0)
• Key changes in English and Chinese (1-5 bullet points each)

If a What's New section already exists in README.md, extract it as the source of truth.

Step 2 — Sync Version Across 7 Locations

Verify AND update the version string in all of the following. Mark each as ✅ or ❌:

#	File	Location
1	plugins/{type}/{name}/{name}.py	version: in docstring
2	plugins/{type}/{name}/README.md	**Version:** x.x.x metadata line
3	plugins/{type}/{name}/README_CN.md	**Version:** x.x.x metadata line
4	docs/plugins/{type}/{name}.md	**Version:** x.x.x metadata line
5	docs/plugins/{type}/{name}.zh.md	**Version:** x.x.x metadata line
6	docs/plugins/{type}/index.md	version badge for this plugin
7	docs/plugins/{type}/index.zh.md	version badge for this plugin

Additionally update the root-level updated date badge in:

• README.md — ![updated](https://img.shields.io/badge/YYYY--MM--DD-gray?style=flat)
• README_CN.md — same badge format

Use today's date (YYYY-MM-DD) for the badge.

Step 3 — Update What's New (All 4 Doc Files)

The What's New / 最新更新 section must contain only the most recent release's changes. Previous entries should be removed from this section (they live in CHANGELOG or release notes files).

Update these 4 files' What's New / 最新更新 block consistently:

• plugins/{type}/{name}/README.md
• plugins/{type}/{name}/README_CN.md
• docs/plugins/{type}/{name}.md
• docs/plugins/{type}/{name}.zh.md

Step 4 — Create Bilingual Release Notes Files

Create two versioned release notes files:

Path: plugins/{type}/{name}/v{version}.md Path: plugins/{type}/{name}/v{version}_CN.md

Required Sections

Each file must include:

1. Title: # v{version} Release Notes (EN) / # v{version} 版本发布说明 (CN)
2. Overview: One paragraph summarizing this release
3. New Features / 新功能: Bulleted list of features
4. Bug Fixes / 问题修复: Bulleted list of fixes
5. Migration Notes / 迁移说明: Breaking changes or Valve key renames (omit section if none)
6. Companion Plugins / 配套插件 (optional): If a companion plugin was updated

If a release notes file already exists for this version, update it rather than creating a new one.

Full Coverage Rule (Mandatory)

Release notes must cover all updates in the current release scope and not only headline features.

Minimum required coverage in both EN/CN files:

• New features and capability enhancements
• Bug fixes and reliability fixes
• Documentation/README/doc-mirror updates that affect user understanding or usage
• Terminology/i18n/wording fixes that change visible behavior or messaging

Before commit, cross-check release notes against git diff and ensure no meaningful update is omitted.

Step 5 — Verify Consistency (Pre-Commit Check)

Run the consistency check script:

python3 scripts/check_version_consistency.py

If issues are found, fix them before proceeding. Do not commit with inconsistencies.

Step 6 — Draft Conventional Commits Message

Generate the commit message following commit-message.instructions.md rules:

• Language: English ONLY
• Format: type(scope): subject + blank line + body bullets
• Scope: use plugin folder name (e.g., github-copilot-sdk)
• Body: 1-3 bullets summarizing key changes
• Explicitly mention "READMEs and docs synced" if version was bumped

Present the full commit message to the user for review before executing.

Step 7 — Stage and Commit

After user approval (or if user says "commit it"):

git add -A
git commit -m "<approved commit message>"

Confirm the commit hash and list the number of files changed.

Checklist (Auto-Verify Before Commit)

• version: in .py docstring matches target version
• **Version:** in all 4 README/docs files matches
• Both index.md version badges updated
• Root README.md and README_CN.md date badges updated to today
• What's New / 最新更新 contains ONLY the latest release
• Release notes include all meaningful updates from the current diff (feature + fix + docs/i18n)
• v{version}.md and v{version}_CN.md created or updated
• python3 scripts/check_version_consistency.py returns no errors
• Commit message is English-only Conventional Commits format

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

• ❌ Do NOT add extra features or refactor code during release prep — only version/doc updates
• ❌ Do NOT push or create PR in this skill — use pr-submitter
• ❌ Do NOT use today's date in commit messages; only in badge URLs
• ❌ Do NOT leave stale What's New content from prior versions
