How does this skill determine the next version number?

It analyzes Git diffs and commit messages to identify breaking changes, new features, or fixes to suggest Major, Minor, or Patch updates according to Semantic Versioning rules.

Does it require a clean working directory?

By default, yes. The release workflow includes a safety check to ensure all changes are committed before starting the release process to prevent accidental data loss.

Does it support GitHub Releases?

Yes, it uses the GitHub CLI (gh) to automatically create official releases and upload the generated notes to the repository.

Chroma is a syntax highlighting library specifically designed for Swift TUI and CLI applications.

Can I skip certain steps like tagging?

Yes, the underlying scripts support flags like --skip-tag, --skip-commit, or --skip-release for granular control over the process.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the end-to-end release process for the Chroma library including versioning, changelog generation, and GitHub publishing.

About

The chroma-release skill streamlines the software release lifecycle for the Chroma Swift syntax highlighter by integrating AI-driven analysis with automated Git workflows. It handles the complexities of Semantic Versioning (SemVer) by analyzing code diffs, generates consistent Markdown changelogs, synchronizes CLI version constants, and orchestrates the final deployment via git tags and GitHub Releases. This ensures a standardized, error-free release pipeline that maintains project history and distribution channels with minimal manual intervention.
