Why does the skill skip some git hooks during the finish phase?

It skips hooks like 'no-commit-to-branch' during the finish phase because these are mechanical merges of already-validated code, preventing the release process from being blocked by restrictive local policies.

Does it support hotfixes?

Yes, it includes a dedicated hotfix flow that allows you to branch from main, apply urgent fixes, and merge back into both main and develop with proper tagging.

How does the skill determine the suggested version bump?

The skill analyzes your git log since the last tag, looking for conventional commit patterns like 'feat:' for minor bumps, 'fix:' for patches, and 'BREAKING' or '!' for major version changes.

Can I use this for both Python and Node.js projects?

Yes, it is pre-configured to detect and update version strings in common files such as package.json, pyproject.toml, and CHANGELOG.md.

Developer Tools

Automates semantic versioning and git flow release cycles by analyzing commit history and updating project metadata.

This skill streamlines the software release process by automatically calculating semantic version bumps based on conventional commit patterns. It guides developers through the Git Flow workflow—from analyzing unreleased commits and suggesting version numbers to updating configuration files like package.json or pyproject.toml and finalizing releases with generated changelogs. It ensures consistency across your repository by managing tags and branch merges while intelligently handling pre-commit hooks during mechanical merge operations.
