Which files does it update automatically during a release?

It can update CHANGELOG.md, VERSION files, package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, and README.md depending on what is detected in your project.

Does Release Har support Conventional Commits?

Yes, it uses Conventional Commits to categorize changes and suggest the appropriate SemVer bump, but it can also interpret and classify standard commit messages using AI.

Do I need the GitHub CLI installed to use this skill?

The GitHub CLI (gh) is recommended for creating official GitHub Releases, but the skill will still handle local tagging and file updates if it is missing.

Can I preview changes before they are committed or pushed?

Absolutely. The skill includes a mandatory preview step and a specific --dry-run flag to verify CHANGELOG entries and version bumps before any execution.

How does the AI generate the release highlights?

Claude analyzes the actual code changes (diffs) rather than just commit messages to provide a more accurate 'Before vs. After' summary for your users.
