Frequently asked questions about release
What does the release skill do?
Set up automated releases with semantic versioning, changelog generation, and package publishing. Configures semantic-release, changesets, release-please, goreleaser, or cargo-release based on stack. Generates GitHub Actions CI workflow for automated version bumps, git tags, and npm/PyPI/crates.io publishing. Use when you want automated versioning, need to publish packages, want changelogs from conventional commits, or need release automation for a monorepo. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the release skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install release` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/release/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does release work with?
release runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the release skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use release after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/release` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the release skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
