Release AUR

Use this skill for AUR package creation, updates, release readiness reviews, publishing decisions, and /release-aur-setup prerequisite workflows.

Mandatory workflow

1. Start with /release-aur plan <target> unless the user explicitly asks only to create a repo.
2. Review the generated preflight output and inspect files when needed:
   • PKGBUILD
   • .SRCINFO
   • git status --porcelain=v1
   • git diff -- PKGBUILD .SRCINFO
   • git diff --cached if anything is staged
3. Confirm these gates before GO:
   • makepkg --printsrcinfo succeeds.
   • .SRCINFO is present or will be regenerated by publish mode.
   • makepkg --verifysource succeeds.
   • full makepkg build/check/package succeeds.
   • no namcap E: findings unless the user explicitly accepts a justified exception.
   • no build artifacts, secrets, or unrelated files are staged or likely to be auto-staged.
   • dependencies are direct and explicit, not merely transitive.
   • latest-release update check ran against the configured source (global/per-package/auto) or was explicitly skipped with justification.
   • pkgver matches upstream and pkgrel is reset to 1 when upstream pkgver is bumped.
   • checksum arrays were refreshed with updpkgsums after a version bump.
   • VCS packages are not committed for a mere upstream pkgver bump.
4. Return GO only when publish is appropriate. Include the exact command:

   /release-aur publish <target>
   

5. Return NO-GO with exact fixes when any blocker remains.
6. Never push manually with raw git push unless the user explicitly bypasses the package workflow. Prefer /release-aur publish because it regenerates .SRCINFO, stages conservatively, commits, and pushes to AUR master.

Setup flow

Use /release-aur-setup when the user needs AUR release workflow prerequisites prepared. The setup workflows are:

/release-aur-setup dir [path-to-aur-repos]
/release-aur-setup source [global <source>|package <pkgbase> <source>|clear <pkgbase>|status]
/release-aur-setup ssh
