Which registries does this skill support?

It automates the preparation process for publishing to both the official VS Code Marketplace and the Open VSX Registry.

How long does the full automated release take?

The local preparation takes about 1-2 minutes, while the remote CI/CD workflows typically complete the full deployment and registry updates in 5-10 minutes.

What happens if pre-release validation fails?

If linting, typechecking, or tests fail, the skill will alert you and recommend fixing the issues before proceeding to ensure only stable code is released.

Can I customize the release notes during the process?

Yes, the skill allows you to either manually provide specific release notes or auto-generate them from a list of recent Git commits since the last version.

Does this skill push tags to GitHub manually?

No, it pushes commits to the main branch, and a specialized GitHub Actions workflow handles the tagging automatically to ensure CI passes before the tag is created.
