Release Plugin

Automated pre-flight checks and shipping workflow. Executes validation, cleanup, and git workflow in sequence, stopping only when user intervention is required.

Input Validation

Optional Arguments:

• --skip-validate - Skip plugin validation phase
• --skip-cleanup - Skip repository cleanup phase
• --skip-ship - Run validation and cleanup only, do not proceed to shipping. Useful for pre-flight checks without committing changes.
• --dry-run - Preview all phases without executing changes
• <branch-name> - Custom branch name for shipping (passed to ship phase)

Dry-Run Mode: When --dry-run is specified:

• Run validation (read-only, always safe)
• Preview cleanup changes without executing
• Preview ship operations without executing
• Prefix all output with [DRY-RUN]

Delegation Mechanism

This skill orchestrates three existing capabilities in sequence. It does not delegate to subagents -- it executes each phase inline within the current session:

Phase	Delegates To	How
Phase 1: Validate	/validate-plugin --all	Runs the full validation logic inline (same session)
Phase 2: Cleanup	/clean-repo	Runs the cleanup logic inline (same session)
Phase 3: Ship	/ship	Runs the ship workflow inline (same session)

Each phase runs sequentially. The output of one phase determines whether the next phase executes. If a phase fails with blocking errors, the workflow stops and reports the failure. Non-blocking warnings are logged but do not stop progression.

Workflow Overview

Phase 1: Validate --> Phase 2: Clean Repo --> Phase 3: Ship
     |                       |                       |
     v                       v                       v
STOP if errors          Continue with           Full ship
CONTINUE if warnings    artifact cleanup        workflow

Execution

Execute each phase in sequence. Only stop for blocking issues that require user intervention.
