Release Workflow

This skill guides you through the process of releasing a new version of the project.

Workflow

1. Preparation

   • Ensure the git working directory is clean: git status.
   • Pull the latest changes: git pull origin main.

2. Version Selection

   • Always ask the user which version bump to apply: major, minor, or patch.
   • Do not update versions until the user confirms one of these options.

3. Version Bump

   • Update the version field in the root Cargo.toml.
   • Verify Cargo.lock is updated (e.g., run cargo check to trigger update).

4. Verification

   • Run tests: cargo test -q.

5. Documentation Review

   • Check if agent models, keybindings, or session states changed since the last release: git diff <previous_tag>..HEAD -- crates/agentty/src/domain/agent.rs crates/agentty/src/domain/session.rs crates/agentty/src/ui/state/help_action.rs
   • If any of those files changed, verify the corresponding doc pages are up to date:
     • docs/site/content/docs/agents/backends.md — agent backends and models.
     • docs/site/content/docs/usage/workflow.md — session lifecycle and workflow.
     • docs/site/content/docs/usage/keybindings.md — keybindings.
   • Run zola check --root docs/site to verify no broken internal links.

6. Changelog

   • Update CHANGELOG.md.
   • Ensure there is an entry for the new version with the current date: ## [vX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD.
   • Ensure content adheres to Keep a Changelog.
   • Add a ### Contributors section under the new release entry with a bullet list of GitHub usernames (example: - @minev-dev).
   • Build the contributor list from commits since the previous tag and deduplicate names.

7. Contributors

   • Generate the contributor username list from commit emails between tags: git log <previous_tag>..HEAD --format='%ae' | sed -nE 's/.*\\+([^@]+)@users\\.noreply\\.github\\.com/\\1/p' | sort -u | sed 's/^/- @/'
   • If a contributor does not use a GitHub noreply email, map them manually to their GitHub username.

8. Commit

   • Stage changes: git add Cargo.toml Cargo.lock CHANGELOG.md.
   • Commit with message: git commit -m "Release vX.Y.Z".

9. Tagging

   • Create a git tag with the 'v' prefix: git tag vX.Y.Z.
   • Important: The release workflow depends on the v prefix (e.g., v0.1.4).

10. Push

    • Push the commit: git push origin main.
    • Push the tag: git push origin vX.Y.Z.

11. Completion

    • The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically create the release and publish artifacts.
