What happens if the local build fails?

The workflow will halt at the verification stage, allowing the developer to fix errors before any changes are committed or published to the Marketplace.

Why does the skill respond in Japanese?

The skill is specifically configured for the Difit project maintainers to ensure clear communication and intentional confirmation during the release process.

How does it handle versioning?

It automatically executes a patch version bump in the package.json and uses that version for both the Git tag and the Marketplace release.

What tools are required for this release skill to work?

This skill requires pnpm for package management and vsce for Visual Studio Marketplace publishing to be configured in your environment.

It enforces a rigorous verification process, requiring local smoke tests and explicit confirmation before proceeding with version bumping, git tagging, and pushing to the main branch.
