What Release does

Release guides a Cortex TMS version bump, changelog update, tag, publish, and GitHub release. It runs the required quality gate first and pauses for user approval at every step.

Release is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Release comes from a repository tagged ai, anthropic, architecture, best-practices and claude-code.

README

Excerpt

Release

Guide the user through a Cortex TMS release.

Pre-release Gate

Before starting, run the full quality gate:

pnpm test — must pass
pnpm run lint — must have 0 errors
pnpm run build — must succeed
node bin/cortex-tms.js validate --strict — must pass

If any step fails, STOP and report. Do not proceed with a broken release.

Release Steps (each requires user approval)

Bump version — show the new version number and the command. Wait for approval.
```
npm version [patch|minor|major]
```
Sync version tags — update all version markers across docs.
```
node scripts/sync-project.js
```
Update CHANGELOG.md — draft release notes from commits since last tag. Show draft, wait for approval.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
