Semantic Release Automation

About

This skill implements a high-performance, local-first release workflow using Node.js semantic-release (v25+) for projects in any language. It automates version bumping based on Conventional Commits, generates comprehensive changelogs, and manages GitHub releases without the latency of CI/CD-driven workflows. By prioritizing local execution and OIDC trusted publishing, it provides developers with instant feedback, seamless repository synchronization, and sophisticated ADR (Architecture Decision Record) linking within release notes.

Key Features

• Multi-language support via @semantic-release/exec for Python, Go, Rust, and more
• Local-first release workflow for instant feedback and local file synchronization
• Automated version bumping based on Conventional Commits analysis
• Automatic changelog generation with integrated ADR and Design Spec linking
• Secure multi-account GitHub authentication using mise environment management
• 2 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Migrating projects from slow CI-based releases to fast local-first workflows
• Initializing automated semantic versioning for a new polyglot repository
• Standardizing release notes across an organization using shareable configurations
