Plannotator Release Skill
Skill ActivePrepare and execute a Plannotator release — draft release notes with full contributor credit, bump versions across all package files, build in dependency order, and kick off the tag-driven release pipeline. Use this skill whenever the user mentions preparing a release, bumping versions, writing release notes, tagging a release, or publishing. Also trigger when the user says things like "let's ship", "prep a release", "what's changed since last release", or "time to cut a new version".
To streamline and standardize the process of preparing and executing software releases, ensuring thoroughness and accuracy.

Covers major/minor/patch classification, pre-release identifiers, build metadata, and breaking change detection. Use when preparing a new release to determine the correct version number, after merging changes before tagging, evaluating whether a change constitutes a breaking change, adding pre-release identifiers, or resolving disagreement about what version bump is appropriate.
Manage Changelog
97Maintain a changelog following Keep a Changelog format. Covers entry categorization (Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security), version section management, and unreleased tracking. Use when starting a new project that needs a changelog, adding entries after completing features or fixes, preparing a release by promoting Unreleased entries to a versioned section, or converting a free-form changelog to Keep a Changelog format.
