Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/mattpocock/sandcastle --skill pre-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 pre-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.
Check all of the files in the .changeset directory.
For the changesets as a whole, check the following:
- Each changeset should be about a user-facing feature. Internal refactors or things that don't affect users should not be added as changesets.
- Related changes should be grouped under a single changeset.
- Changesets are user-facing, not maintainer-facing. They should not specify implementation details, or how a feature was made. They should only specify the user-facing change, and why it was made. Changesets !== commit messages.
Once done, commit your changes.
