Can I use it for private repositories?

Yes, as long as your environment is authenticated via the GitHub CLI (gh auth), the skill can manage releases for any repository you have access to.

What versioning systems does this skill support?

It primarily follows Semantic Versioning (SemVer) and can identify version references in common files like package.json, Cargo.toml, go.mod, and pyproject.toml.

Can I preview the release actions before they happen?

Yes, the skill includes support for dry-run modes that allow you to preview commands and version changes without executing them.

Does it automatically push changes to GitHub?

Yes, after tagging and committing release changes, the skill handles pushing both the code and the new tags to the remote repository.

How does it handle Homebrew updates?

After a GitHub release is created, the skill can automatically download the source tarball, calculate the new SHA256 checksum, and update the Formula file.
