Can it handle .dev version suffixes?

Yes, the skill is designed to recognize development suffixes and propose the correct target release version by stripping the .dev suffix automatically.

What files does the Takopi Release skill update?

It updates pyproject.toml, src/takopi/__init__.py, uv.lock, changelog.md, and docs/specification.md to ensure all version references are consistent across the project.

Does it verify code quality before releasing?

It executes project-specific checks such as ruff, typing, and pytest via 'just check' to ensure that no broken code is ever tagged for release.

Does this skill trigger my CI/CD pipeline?

Yes, by creating and pushing a git tag (e.g., v1.0.0), it triggers the .github/workflows/release.yml workflow for automated building and publishing.

How does it handle the changelog?

It analyzes the diff between the last tag and current state, ranks user-facing changes first, and appends PR links in a style consistent with existing entries.
