cutting-a-release

cutting-a-release is a Release cutting & versioning skill for AI agents, published by TriliumNext in the Trilium repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates cutting-a-release F (45/100) and the safety scan rated it risky; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Use when cutting, preparing, or debugging a Trilium release — bumping the monorepo version, tagging, or diagnosing a failed "Release" workflow run. Covers the ordered bump recipe (edit root package.json → chore:update-version → commit → v-prefixed tag → push), which of the TWO divergent version scripts to use (update-version for releases vs update-nightly-version for CI nightlies), why the CI version-consistency gate validates only 5 of the 8 files update-version writes, the exact `docs/Release Notes/Release Notes/<tag>.md` path the publish step hard-requires, the substring-based rc/beta "latest" labeling, and the RELEASE_PAT (not GITHUB_TOKEN) dependency. Also covers dispatching `nightly.yml` on a branch to test packaging on real CI runners (publish is gated on `main`; other refs upload artifacts). Bundles a pre-flight verifier that catches what the CI gate misses before you push the tag.
