This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Prepare releases by analyzing changelogs, determining version bumps, and updating package.json and changelog files.
115 charsno explicit “when” trigger
Beginner

Key capabilities

  • →Scan changelogs for unreleased changes
  • →Determine version bump types based on prefix rules
  • →Update package.json version fields
  • →Update changelog headers and dates

How it works

The skill analyzes changelog files for specific prefixes to determine if a version bump should be minor or patch, then updates metadata files accordingly.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Repository with unreleased changelog entries
You get back
Updated package.json and CHANGELOG.md files

When to use repo-prepare-release

  • →Determine version bumps for releases
  • →Automate package.json version updates
  • →Generate release changelogs

About this skill

Prepare Release

Packages to Check

Scan these for unreleased changes (placeholder: ## vX.X.X (Month DD, YYYY)):

  • packages/core/CHANGELOG.md and packages/methods/CHANGELOG.md
  • frameworks/{angular,preact,qwik,react,react-native,solid,svelte,vue}/CHANGELOG.md

Version Bump Rules

PrefixBumpExamples
Add, Change (API), RenameMinorNew feature, API change, renamed export
Fix, Change @formisch/*PatchBug fix, dependency update

Release Process

1. Process in Order

  1. @formisch/core → 2. @formisch/methods → 3. All frameworks

2. For Each Package with Changes

Update package.json: Bump "version" field

Update CHANGELOG.md:

  • Replace ## vX.X.X (Month DD, YYYY) with actual version and date
  • Date format: Month DD, YYYY (e.g., January 31, 2026)

3. Framework Dependency Updates

Core/methods are bundled per framework target (/react, /solid, etc.):

  • Framework-specific changes → update only that framework
  • Shared changes → update all frameworks
  • Bump matches core/methods (minor→minor, patch→patch)

Add to affected changelogs:

- Change `@formisch/core` to vX.X.X
- Change `@formisch/methods` to vX.X.X

Checklist

  • Identify all packages with unreleased changelog entries
  • Determine bump type (patch/minor) for each
  • Add dependency update entries to framework changelogs
  • Update all package.json versions
  • Update all changelog version headers and dates
  • Run pnpm check-versions to verify consistency

When not to use it

  • →When repository does not follow the specified changelog format

Limitations

  • →Requires specific changelog header format
  • →Limited to predefined package structure

How it compares

It automates versioning based on specific changelog prefixes rather than manual version incrementing.
