Do I need the GitHub CLI installed?

Yes, this skill utilizes the official GitHub CLI (gh) to verify repository status, check authentication, and publish the final release notes.

Which files does the runbook modify?

The skill typically updates the PROJECT_VER in CMakeLists.txt and appends new version sections to your project's CHANGELOG file.

Does it support conventional commits?

Yes, it uses conventional commit messages (e.g., 'chore: bump version to X.Y.Z') to ensure a clean and professional repository history.

How does this skill handle versioning?

It follows semantic versioning (SemVer) principles, allowing you to bump MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH versions based on the nature of your code changes.

What happens if a release tag already exists?

The workflow includes troubleshooting steps to increment the version number and retry the tagging process to avoid conflicts.
