Operations Guide

This guide provides detailed information for Git operations and release management in IntentKit.

Git Commit

Pre-commit Steps

1. Run ruff format && ruff check --fix before commit.

Commit Message Format

When you generate git commit message, always start with one of feat/fix/chore/docs/test/refactor/improve.

Format: <type>: <subject>

• Subject should start with lowercase
• Only one-line needed, do not generate commit message body

Examples:

• feat: add new twitter skill
• fix: resolve circular dependency in models
• chore: update dependencies

Github Release

Version Number Rules

Follow Semantic Versioning:

• Pre-release: vA.B.C-devD
• Release: vA.B.C

Version Calculation

• Release: +1 to patch version C
• Pre-release: +1 to D of -devD, but if vA.B.C already released, next pre-release should restart from next patch version vA.B.(C+1)-dev1

Examples:

• Next pre-release of v0.1.2-dev3 → v0.1.2-dev4
• If v0.1.2 production release already published, next pre-release → v0.1.3-dev1

Release Steps

1. Make a git pull --rebase first. If the local branch is main, git push it.
2. Find the last version number in release or pre-release.
3. Change the version number in pyproject.toml and run a uv sync to update the lock file.
4. Diff origin/main with it, summarize release notes to business language, not a technical one. List new features. For bug fixes and improvements, provide vague descriptions, such as "fixed bugs in the xxx module". Then save it to release_notes.md for later use. Add a diff link to release note too, the from and to should be the version number.
5. If the release is not pre-release, also insert the release note to the beginning of CHANGELOG.md (This file contains all history release notes, don't use it in gh command). Commit and push release_notes.md and CHANGELOG.md.
6. Construct gh release create command, use release_notes.md as notes file in gh command.
