Release Rustino

Rustino Release Automator

This skill automates the release preparation, branch merging, branch synchronization, and NuGet deployment process for the Rustino repository.

Invocation

/release-rustino

What This Skill Does

1. Ensures the workspace is clean and checks out the development branch.
2. Pulls the latest updates from origin/development.
3. Bumps the patch version in src/Directory.Build.props (e.g. 0.3.4 -> 0.3.5).
4. Commits and pushes the version bump to development.
5. Creates a Pull Request from development into main using the GitHub CLI (gh).
6. Requests review from @claude bot on the PR by posting a comment with @claude review this.
7. Waits for mergeability checks to ensure there are no conflicts.
8. Merges the PR into main.
9. Synchronizes the branches by switching to main, pulling, switching to development, merging main, and pushing.
10. Triggers the GitHub release workflow (release.yml) on main.

Prerequisites

• GitHub CLI (gh) must be installed and authenticated.
• PowerShell 7 (pwsh) or Windows PowerShell must be available.

Step-by-Step Execution

You can execute the entire release flow automatically by running:

powershell -File .agents/skills/release-rustino/release.ps1

If you prefer to run it manually or need to troubleshoot a step, follow the steps below:

Phase 1 — Switch and Bump Version

git checkout development
git pull origin development

# Edit src/Directory.Build.props to increment the patch version (e.g., <Version>0.3.5</Version>)
# Commit and push:
git add src/Directory.Build.props
git commit -m "chore: bump patch version to 0.3.5"
git push origin development

Phase 2 — Create PR and Request Review

Create the Pull Request and comment for Claude review:

gh pr create --base main --head development --title "Release: Merge development into main (v0.3.5)" --body "Automated release PR."
# Note down the PR URL/number returned, then comment:
gh pr comment <PR_URL> --body "@claude review this"

Phase 3 — Verify and Merge PR

Ensure no conflicts exist, then merge:

gh pr merge <PR_URL> --merge --delete-branch=false

Phase 4 — Sync branches

git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout development
git merge main --no-ff -m "Merge branch 'main' into development to sync [skip ci]"
git push origin development

Phase 5 — Trigger Release

gh workflow run release.yml --ref main
# Check status:
gh run list --workflow=release.yml --limit 1
