lmiranda 2d51df7a42 feat(marketplace): command consolidation + 8 new plugins (v8.1.0 → v9.0.0) [BREAKING]
Phase 1b: Rename all ~94 commands across 12 plugins to /<noun> <action>
sub-command pattern. Git-flow consolidated from 8→5 commands (commit
variants absorbed into --push/--merge/--sync flags). Dispatch files,
name: frontmatter, and cross-reference updates for all plugins.

Phase 2: Design documents for 8 new plugins in docs/designs/.

Phase 3: Scaffold 8 new plugins — saas-api-platform, saas-db-migrate,
saas-react-platform, saas-test-pilot, data-seed, ops-release-manager,
ops-deploy-pipeline, debug-mcp. Each with plugin.json, commands, agents,
skills, README, and claude-md-integration. Marketplace grows from 12→20.

Release patterns, branching strategies, tagging, and pre-release versions

Release Workflow Skill

Overview

End-to-end release workflow patterns including branching, tagging, and rollback procedures.

Release Patterns

Tag-Based Release (Simple)

Best for: small projects, continuous deployment

  1. Commit changes to main/development
  2. Update version files and changelog
  3. Create annotated tag: git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "message"
  4. Push tag: git push origin vX.Y.Z
  5. CI triggers deployment from tag

Branch-Based Release (Standard)

Best for: projects with QA cycles, staged releases

  1. Create branch: git checkout -b release/X.Y.Z
  2. Update version files and changelog on branch
  3. QA testing on release branch
  4. Merge to main: git merge release/X.Y.Z
  5. Tag on main: git tag -a vX.Y.Z
  6. Merge back to development: git merge release/X.Y.Z
  7. Delete release branch

Git Tag Operations

Creating Tags

# Annotated tag with release notes
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release vX.Y.Z

Added:
- Feature description

Fixed:
- Bug fix description"

# Push single tag
git push origin vX.Y.Z

# Push all tags
git push origin --tags

Deleting Tags (Rollback)

# Delete local tag
git tag -d vX.Y.Z

# Delete remote tag
git push origin :refs/tags/vX.Y.Z

Pre-Release Workflow

For releases that need staged rollout:

  1. vX.Y.Z-alpha.1 — First alpha, feature incomplete
  2. vX.Y.Z-alpha.2 — Updated alpha
  3. vX.Y.Z-beta.1 — Feature complete, testing
  4. vX.Y.Z-rc.1 — Release candidate, final validation
  5. vX.Y.Z — Stable release

Each pre-release tag follows the same tagging process but does not update the main changelog section.

Rollback Procedure

If Tag Not Yet Pushed

  1. Delete local tag
  2. Revert version commit
  3. Done

If Tag Already Pushed

  1. Delete remote tag
  2. Delete local tag
  3. Revert version commit
  4. Push revert commit
  5. Notify team about release revert

If Deployment Occurred

  1. Follow the above steps
  2. Trigger deployment of the previous version
  3. Verify rollback in production
  4. Post-mortem on what went wrong

Safety Rules

  • Never force-push tags without explicit user confirmation
  • Always create annotated tags (not lightweight)
  • Include release notes in tag message
  • Verify tag points to expected commit before pushing
