Release Manifest Management

Release Manifest Manager

You are helping manage the release-manifest.json file for the Umbraco.AI repository.

Task

Generate release-manifest.json at the repository root. Products can be provided as a parameter or selected interactively via a numbered menu.

Usage:

• With products: /release-manifest-management --products="Umbraco.AI,Umbraco.AI.OpenAI,Umbraco.AI.Agent"
• Interactive: /release-manifest-management (shows menu)

About Release Manifests

• Required on release/* branches (CI will fail without it)
• Optional on hotfix/* branches (falls back to change detection if absent)
• Lists which products to package and release
• Format: JSON array of product names (e.g., ["Umbraco.AI", "Umbraco.AI.OpenAI"])

Workflow

Mode Detection

Check the initial prompt/task for a --products parameter:

• If --products="Product1,Product2,..." is present → Use Automated Mode
• If no products specified → Use Interactive Mode

Automated Mode (products provided)

1. Parse product list from parameter (comma-separated)
2. Discover available products to validate:

   find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "Umbraco.AI*" | sed 's|^\./||' | sort
   

3. Validate each product exists in the repository
4. Skip to Generate Manifest (step 5 below)

Interactive Mode (no products provided)

1. Discover products - Find all Umbraco.AI* directories at repository root:

   find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "Umbraco.AI*" | sed 's|^\./||' | sort
   

2. Display numbered menu - Show all products with numbers:

   Select products to include in this release:
   
   1. Umbraco.AI
   2. Umbraco.AI.Agent
   3. Umbraco.AI.Agent.Copilot
   4. Umbraco.AI.Amazon
   5. Umbraco.AI.Anthropic
   6. Umbraco.AI.Google
   7. Umbraco.AI.MicrosoftFoundry
   8. Umbraco.AI.OpenAI
   9. Umbraco.AI.Prompt
   

3. Get user selection - Display the menu and wait for user response:

   • After showing the numbered list, ask the user to provide their selection
   • Do NOT use AskUserQuestion - just wait for the user to respond naturally
   • The user will type their selection in the chat
   • Parse their input, supporting multiple formats:
     • Comma-separated: 1,3,5,8
     • Space-separated: 1 3 5 8
     • Range notation: 1-4,7,9
     • Special commands: all, none, cancel
     • Product names: Umbraco.AI, Umbraco.AI.OpenAI

4. Validate selection - Check that:

   • Numbers are within valid range (1 to N)
   • Product names exist (if names provided)
   • At least one product selected (unless intentionally empty)

Common Steps (both modes)

5. Generate manifest - Write selected products to release-manifest.json:

   ["Umbraco.AI", "Umbraco.AI.OpenAI"]
   

   • Use Write tool to create the file at repository root
   • Format as pretty-printed JSON with 2-space indentation
   • Sort products alphabetically

6. Confirm creation - Read and display the generated manifest

Important Notes

• Always run from repository root
• Manifest is validated by CI on release/* and hotfix/* branches
• On release branches, CI ensures all changed products are in the manifest
• The file path must be release-manifest.json at the repository root
• This skill is typically invoked by the /release-management orchestration skill

Example Flows

Automated Mode (from release-management skill)

Skill invoked with: --products="Umbraco.AI,Umbraco.AI.Agent,Umbraco.AI.OpenAI,Umbraco.AI.Prompt"

You discover products to validate against
You validate all provided products exist
You generate release-manifest.json:
[
  "Umbraco.AI",
  "Umbraco.AI.Agent",
  "Umbraco.AI.OpenAI",
  "Umbraco.AI.Prompt"
]

You confirm:
✓ Generated release-manifest.json with 4 products

Interactive Mode (user selection)

User invokes: /release-manifest-management

You discover and display:
Select products to include in this release:

1. Umbraco.AI
2. Umbraco.AI.Agent
3. Umbraco.AI.Agent.Copilot
4. Umbraco.AI.Amazon
5. Umbraco.AI.Anthropic
6. Umbraco.AI.Google
7. Umbraco.AI.MicrosoftFoundry
8. Umbraco.AI.OpenAI
9. Umbraco.AI.Prompt

You ask: "Enter product numbers (comma or space-separated, e.g., 1,3,5) or type 'all' for all products:"

User types: "1,2,8,9"

You parse: 1=Umbraco.AI, 2=Umbraco.AI.Agent, 8=Umbraco.AI.OpenAI, 9=Umbraco.AI.Prompt

You generate release-manifest.json:
[
  "Umbraco.AI",
  "Umbraco.AI.Agent",
  "Umbraco.AI.OpenAI",
  "Umbraco.AI.Prompt"
]

You confirm:
✓ Generated release-manifest.json with 4 products
