Does this skill handle version bumps automatically?

Yes, the skill automatically increments the patch version, updates package.json and plugin.json, and prepares the next development branch.

What happens if my tests fail during the release process?

The skill includes a mandatory test step; if tests fail, the process stops so you can fix issues before any tags or merges are finalized.

Why does the skill create a migration script for every release?

It ensures the migration system can track version changes even if no structural changes are needed, maintaining a clean history for plugin updates.

Can I use this skill if I work directly on the main branch?

Yes, the skill includes a 'Main-Only' workflow specifically designed for projects that do not use separate version branches.
