Release Swarm - Intelligent Release Automation
Overview
Orchestrate complex software releases using AI swarms that handle everything from changelog generation to multi-platform deployment.
Core Features
1. Release Planning
# Plan next release using gh CLI
# Get commit history since last release
LAST_TAG=$(gh release list --limit 1 --json tagName -q '.[0].tagName')
COMMITS=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo$compare/${LAST_TAG}...HEAD --jq '.commits')
# Get merged PRs
MERGED_PRS=$(gh pr list --state merged --base main --json number,title,labels,mergedAt \
--jq ".[] | select(.mergedAt > \"$(gh release view $LAST_TAG --json publishedAt -q .publishedAt)\")")
# Plan release with commit analysis
npx ruv-swarm github release-plan \
--commits "$COMMITS" \
--merged-prs "$MERGED_PRS" \
--analyze-commits \
--suggest-version \
--identify-breaking \
--generate-timeline
2. Automated Versioning
# Smart version bumping
npx ruv-swarm github release-version \
--strategy "semantic" \
--analyze-changes \
--check-breaking \
--update-files
3. Release Orchestration
# Full release automation with gh CLI
# Generate changelog from PRs and commits
CHANGELOG=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo$compare/${LAST_TAG}...HEAD \
--jq '.commits[].commit.message' | \
npx ruv-swarm github generate-changelog)
# Create release draft
gh release create v2.0.0 \
--draft \
--title "Release v2.0.0" \
--notes "$CHANGELOG" \
--target main
# Run release orchestration
npx ruv-swarm github release-create \
--version "2.0.0" \
--changelog "$CHANGELOG" \
--build-artifacts \
--deploy-targets "npm,docker,github"
# Publish release after validation
gh release edit v2.0.0 --draft=false
# Create announcement issue
gh issue create \
--title "🎉 Released v2.0.0" \
--body "$CHANGELOG" \
--label "announcement,release"

Release Agents
Changelog Agent
# Generate intelligent changelog with gh CLI
# Get all merged PRs between versions
PRS=$(gh pr list --state merged --base main --json number,title,labels,author,mergedAt \
--jq ".[] | select(.mergedAt > \"$(gh release view v1.0.0 --json publishedAt -q .publishedAt)\")")
# Get contributors
CONTRIBUTORS=$(echo "$PRS" | jq -r '[.author.login] | unique | join(", ")')
# Get commit messages
COMMITS=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo$compare$v1.0.0...HEAD \
--jq '.commits[].commit.message')
# Generate categorized changelog
CHANGELOG=$(npx ruv-swarm github changelog \
--prs "$PRS" \
--commits "$COMMITS" \
--contributors "$CONTRIBUTORS" \
--from v1.0.0 \
--to HEAD \
--categorize \
--add-migration-guide)
# Save changelog
echo "$CHANGELOG" > CHANGELOG.md
