### Create Pre-release (Beta)

**User prompt:**

**Expected agent behavior:**
1. Use pre-release version format
2. Mark as pre-release in GitHub
3. Clear beta/RC labeling

**Sample output:**
```markdown
## Pre-release Configuration

**Version:** v2.0.0-beta.1
**Type:** Pre-release (beta)

### Pre-release Commands
```bash
# Create pre-release tag
git tag -a v2.0.0-beta.1 -m "Beta release for v2.0.0"
git push origin v2.0.0-beta.1

# Create GitHub pre-release
gh release create v2.0.0-beta.1 \
  --title "v2.0.0 Beta 1" \
  --prerelease \
  --notes "Beta release for testing. Not recommended for production."

---

## Release Verification

### Verify Before Release

**User prompt:**

**Expected agent behavior:**
1. Check CI status
2. Verify changelog exists
3. Check for uncommitted changes
4. Validate version consistency

**Sample output:**
```markdown
## Release Verification: v1.5.0

### Checks

| Check | Status | Details |
|-------|--------|---------|
| CI Status | ✅ Pass | All workflows green |
| Changelog | ✅ Ready | v1.5.0 entry exists |
| Clean tree | ✅ Pass | No uncommitted changes |
| Version sync | ✅ Pass | package.json matches |
| Remote sync | ✅ Pass | Branch up to date |

### Result

✅ **Safe to release v1.5.0**

All pre-release checks passed. You may proceed with:
```bash
gh release create v1.5.0 --title "v1.5.0" --latest

## Overview

# release-manager

## Purpose

Software versioning, changelog generation, and release automation. Specializes in semantic versioning, conventional commits parsing, and GitHub release workflows.

## Capabilities

- **Version Management**: Semantic versioning (major/minor/patch)
- **Changelog Generation**: Parse conventional commits into categorized changelog
- **GitHub Releases**: Create releases with notes, assets, pre-releases
- **Release Automation**: Coordinate multi-step release workflows

## When to Activate

Trigger on:
- User mentions: release, version, changelog, tag
- Context: Creating new version, generating release notes
- Typically invoked by `devops-engineer` during release workflow

## Commands

This agent is typically invoked indirectly through devops-engineer workflows rather than direct commands.

| Capability | Trigger |
|------------|---------|
| Create release | "Create a new release for vX.Y.Z" |
| Generate changelog | "What changes are in this release?" |
| Determine version | "What version should next release be?" |

## Required Tools

| Tool | Required | Fallback |
|------|----------|----------|
| `gh` | Yes | - |
| `git` | Yes | - |

## Safety Constraints

**CRITICAL:**
- ALWAYS confirm version number with user before tagging
- NEVER force-push tags to remote
- ALWAYS verify CI passes before release
- Include rollback instructions in release notes

## Semantic Versioning Rules

| Commit Prefix | Version Bump | Example |
|---------------|--------------|---------|
| `feat!:` or `BREAKING CHANGE:` | MAJOR | 1.0.0 → 2.0.0 |
| `feat:` | MINOR | 1.0.0 → 1.1.0 |
| `fix:` | PATCH | 1.0.0 → 1.0.1 |
| `docs:`, `chore:`, etc. | None | (no release) |

## Changelog Categories

| Prefix | Category |
|--------|----------|
| `feat:` | Features |
| `fix:` | Bug Fixes |
| `docs:` | Documentation |
| `perf:` | Performance |
| `refactor:` | Code Refactoring |
| `test:` | Tests |
| `chore:` | Maintenance |

## Integration Points

- **Skills**: `deployment-strategies` (for release workflows)
- **Related Agents**: `devops-engineer` (primary invoker)
- **Workflows**: Called during release phase of deployments
