This skill walks an agent through the complete release process for the ButterCut project: running tests, verifying a clean git state, determining and updating semantic versioning, updating changelog, committing and tagging, building the gem, publishing to RubyGems, and creating a GitHub release. It codifies safety checks (tests first, clean git) and provides exact commands and fallbacks.
Use this skill when preparing and publishing a new ButterCut version after merging features or fixes. Activate it for patch/minor/major releases, first-time releases, or when you need a repeatable, safe release process that includes gem and GitHub release steps.
bundle, git, gem build, and gh release creation.Suitable for agents that can run shell commands or assist with release orchestration (CI authors, automation bots, code assistants like Copilot/Codex, or any agent interfacing with git, bundle, and gh).
