Worktrunk Release Manager

About

The Worktrunk Release skill provides a structured, automated workflow for cutting new software versions and managing Git releases. It handles the entire lifecycle from running pre-merge tests and analyzing commit history to generating verified changelogs and updating distribution channels like crates.io and Homebrew. A key highlight is the mandatory subagent verification step, which inspects actual code diffs to ensure changelog accuracy, effectively preventing the common issue of misleading or incomplete release notes often found in manual workflows.
