What This Skill Does

The release-skills tool is an automated release management agent designed to streamline the software delivery process. It eliminates manual toil by handling versioning, changelog maintenance, and git tagging automatically. The skill leverages conventional commit parsing to determine appropriate semantic versioning (Major, Minor, or Patch) and generates professional, multi-language changelogs that include contributor attribution.

Installation

To install this skill, run the following command in your OpenClaw environment: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/wpank/release-skills

Use Cases

  • Automated Versioning: Perfect for projects following SemVer that need to consistently bump versions based on commit history.
  • Multi-language Documentation: Essential for open-source projects or global teams that maintain changelogs in English, Chinese, or Japanese simultaneously.
  • Release Preparation: Useful for CI/CD pipelines to automatically prepare a repository for a deployment push or marketplace submission.

Example Prompts

  1. "OpenClaw, I'm ready to release the next version of this project. Analyze the commits and update the version and changelog accordingly."
  2. "Prepare a new release for this repository. Force a major version bump and include the breaking changes in the generated changelog."
  3. "Check the current status and draft a new patch release with an updated CHANGELOG.md file."

Tips & Limitations

  • Dry-Run: Always utilize the --dry-run flag first to preview your version increment and changelog updates before committing changes.
  • Conventional Commits: The effectiveness of the auto-detection relies heavily on standard commit messages (feat:, fix:, etc.). If your team uses custom commit formats, the categorization logic may need manual review.
  • Config: Create a .releaserc.yml in your root directory to fine-tune the automation process if the defaults do not meet your specific project structure requirements.
  • Supported Files: Ensure your project versioning follows the supported formats (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, etc.) for the best auto-detection results.
