Does it automatically push changes to GitHub?

No, it prepares the release locally for safety. After execution, it provides the specific git push commands for the user to run manually when they are ready.

How does it decide between a patch and a minor version bump?

It scans commit prefixes; if 'feat:' or new skills are detected, it suggests a minor bump. Otherwise, it defaults to a patch bump for fixes and maintenance.

Is it possible to force a major version release?

Yes, you can use the --major flag to explicitly trigger a major version bump, which is recommended when breaking changes are detected.

Can I preview the release changes before they happen?

Yes, by using the --dry-run flag, you can see the proposed version, changelog entries, and affected files without modifying any data.

What does the release-skills tool actually automate?

It automates the analysis of changes since the last tag, bumps the version number, updates the changelog, modifies marketplace metadata, and creates a local git commit and tag.
