Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/blockmatic/basilic-skills --skill w-release- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads w-release automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Advisory only. Do not bump versions, merge a release PR, or use publish credentials. Read the repository's release docs first.
- Diff against
main(feature PR) or the previousv*tag (release PR). List payload paths from those docs (Basilic example:apps/api|web|mobile,packages/,tools/,scripts/,.cursor/,.agents/, generator). - Suggest a conventional title. Flag
docs/chore/test/ci/stylewhen payload paths changed unless the body hasskip-release: true. - Note generator CLI, template include/exclude, and docs snapshot impact. Generated trees must not gain the documentation app or the generator.
- Draft user-facing changelog bullets and required adopter actions. Keep the repo's release changelog authoritative (Basilic: Release Please).
- Link tests, classification, and (on a release PR) scaffold acceptance. Stop if a human gate is missing.
