Release PR

Creates a release from merged feature changes: bumps version, creates tag, and pushes to main.

What it does

1. Validates you're on a merge/* branch
2. Analyzes commits to auto-detect version bump (major/minor/patch)
3. Bumps version in package.json (if present)
4. Merges the merge branch into main
5. Creates a git tag (e.g., v1.7.0)
6. Pushes main and the tag to the remote

Usage

/release-pr [patch|minor|major]

If no bump type is specified, it auto-detects based on conventional commits:

• feat: commits -> minor bump
• fix: commits -> patch bump
• BREAKING CHANGE or !: -> major bump

How to execute

Must be run from the ORIGINAL project directory while on a merge/* branch.

bash .claude/skills/release-pr/scripts/release-pr.sh [patch|minor|major]

Important

• The version bump auto-detection uses conventional commit prefixes
• The tag is pushed to the remote, which may trigger CI/CD pipelines
• No Co-Authored-By headers are added to any commit
• Review the merge branch changes carefully before running this
• Requires gh CLI to be installed for PR creation
• You can override the auto-detected bump type by passing patch, minor, or major
