Release

End-to-end release workflow for vercel-plugin.

Workflow

1. Pre-flight checks

Run all gates in parallel:

bun run typecheck          # tsc --noEmit on hooks/src
bun test                   # all test files
bun run validate           # skill frontmatter + manifest integrity

Stop if any gate fails. Fix issues before proceeding.

2. Determine version bump

Read the current version from .plugin/plugin.json. Ask the user which semver component to bump if not specified:

| Bump | When |

|-------|-------------------------------------------|

| patch | Bug fixes, test/fixture updates, docs |

| minor | New skills, new hooks, new features |

| major | Breaking changes to hook API or skill map |

Default to patch if the user says "release" without specifying.

3. Bump version

Update the version field in .plugin/plugin.json. This is the only version source of truth.

4. Rebuild generated artifacts

bun run build              # hooks (tsup) + manifest

This compiles hooks/src/*.mts → hooks/*.mjs and regenerates generated/skill-manifest.json.

5. Stage, commit, and push

git add -A
git commit -m "<summary>; bump to <new-version>"
git push

Commit message style: match existing convention — descriptive summary followed by ; bump to X.Y.Z (see git log for examples).

The pre-commit hook will re-run typecheck and recompile hooks automatically. If it fails, fix the issue and create a new commit (never amend).

Version source of truth

.plugin/plugin.json — the version field. There is no package.json version to sync.
