How does it handle automated rollbacks?

The skill defines specific triggers such as error rate spikes or latency issues to execute immediate rollback procedures to previous stable RC iterations.

What is an RC Manager in Claude Code?

An RC Manager is a specialized skill that handles the pre-production lifecycle of software, managing versions like alpha, beta, and release candidates before the final stable release.

Can I use custom release channels?

Yes, the skill supports channel-based releases including stable, beta, alpha, and canary channels, allowing for targeted testing and deployment.

Does this skill support multi-repo coordination?

Yes, it is designed to synchronize release candidate versions and dependencies across multiple repositories simultaneously to ensure compatibility.

Is semantic versioning enforced by the tool?
