What it does

“Release vercel-plugin — run gates, bump version, generate artifacts, commit, and push. Use when asked to "release", "ship", "bump and push", or "cut a release".”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill automates the release workflow for vercel-plugin by running pre-flight checks, bumping the semantic version in .plugin/plugin.json, rebuilding generated artifacts, and committing and pushing changes to git. It guides users through selecting a version bump type and ensures all gates pass before proceeding with the release.

When to use it

  • User requests a release, ship, or bump and push operation
  • Need to increment version and deploy vercel-plugin changes
  • Running comprehensive pre-release validation and artifact generation
  • Committing version changes with standardized message format

When not to

  • Releasing other projects or plugins with different version sources
  • Manual version management or custom release workflows preferred
  • When pre-flight checks are expected to fail

Install

These commands install from the publisher's repository and need no account.

Claude Code plugin

/plugin install vercel@claude-plugins-official

The publisher's plugin in Claude's official marketplace. It may hold more than this skill, and we have not pinned it.

Copy for your agent

A prompt for any coding agent. It installs this skill from GitHub at the pinned commit, copies the files as they are, and runs nothing unless you ask.

Prompt

Install the agent skill "release" by Vercel.

Source, pinned to commit 2a1e58dfb63c064c2589c0c21b3e93c53728f8d5:
https://github.com/vercel/vercel-plugin/tree/2a1e58dfb63c064c2589c0c21b3e93c53728f8d5/.claude/skills/release

1. Download that folder at exactly this commit. Do not use the default branch.
2. Copy every file unchanged, keeping the folder structure, into .claude/skills/release/ for Claude Code and .agents/skills/release/ for Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode. Create the folders if they do not exist.
3. Do not edit the files, and do not run any script in the folder unless I ask you to.
4. When you are done, list the files you copied and where you put them.

# Release

End-to-end release workflow for vercel-plugin.

## Workflow

### 1. Pre-flight checks

Run all gates in parallel:

```bash
bun run typecheck          # tsc --noEmit on hooks/src
bun test                   # all test files
bun run validate           # skill frontmatter + manifest integrity
```

**Stop if any gate fails.** Fix issues before proceeding.

### 2. Determine version bump

Read the current version from `.plugin/plugin.json`. Ask the user which semver component to bump if not specified:

| Bump  | When                                      |
|-------|-------------------------------------------|
| patch | Bug fixes, test/fixture updates, docs     |
| minor | New skills, new hooks, new features       |
| major | Breaking changes to hook API or skill map |

Default to **patch** if the user says "release" without specifying.

### 3. Bump version

Update the `version` field in `.plugin/plugin.json`. This is the **only** version source of truth.

### 4. Rebuild generated artifacts

```bash
bun run build:all          # hooks (tsup) + manifest
```

This merges upstream skills with their overlays, compiles `hooks/src/*.mts` → `hooks/*.mjs`, and resolves agent/command templates. Skill metadata is read directly from `SKILL.md` files.

### 5. Stage, commit, and push

```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "<summary>; bump to <new-version>"
git push
```

Commit message style: match existing convention — descriptive summary followed by `; bump to X.Y.Z` (see git log for examples).

The pre-commit hook will re-run typecheck and recompile hooks automatically. If it fails, fix the issue and create a **new** commit (never amend).

## Version source of truth

`.plugin/plugin.json` — the `version` field. There is no `package.json` version to sync.

## Checklist (copy into your reasoning)

- [ ] typecheck passes
- [ ] tests pass
- [ ] validate passes
- [ ] `.plugin/plugin.json` version bumped
- [ ] `bun run build:all` succeeded
- [ ] commit includes all changes
- [ ] pushed to main
