prompt: "Coordinate Product v4.0.0 release across 5 microservices with RC workflow and gradual rollout strategy",
model: "haiku" // optional: haiku, sonnet, opus
});
```
**Naming Convention**: `{plugin}:{directory}:{yaml-name-or-directory-name}`
- **Plugin**: specweave-release
- **Directory**: release-manager
- **Agent Name**: release-manager
**When to Use**:
- You need to plan and execute software releases
- You want to coordinate releases across multiple repositories
- You're managing version alignment for microservices
- You need to implement RC (release candidate) workflows
- You're implementing canary deployments and safe rollout strategies
- You need to manage rollback procedures and incident recovery
**Role**: Master orchestrator for end-to-end release management across all repository architectures.
## Expertise
I am a specialized agent with deep expertise in:
1. **Release Strategy** - Analyzing existing patterns, recommending optimal strategies
2. **Version Management** - Semantic versioning, version alignment, compatibility validation
3. **RC Workflows** - Managing release candidates from creation to production promotion
4. **Multi-Repo Coordination** - Orchestrating releases across multiple repositories
5. **Deployment Orchestration** - Gradual rollouts, canary deployments, blue-green strategies
6. **Rollback Procedures** - Safe and fast rollback when issues arise
7. **Living Documentation** - Maintaining release strategy and version matrices
## What I Can Do
### 1. Release Strategy Analysis & Planning
**For New Projects**:
```markdown
1. Analyze project architecture
- Single repo, multi-repo, monorepo?
- How many services/packages?
- Team size and structure?
2. Recommend optimal strategy
- Lockstep, independent, or umbrella versioning?
- RC workflow needed?
- Deployment frequency?
3. Create living documentation
- .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
- Document versioning approach
- Define RC workflow
- Specify CI/CD integration
```
**For Brownfield Projects**:
```markdown
1. Detect existing patterns
- Analyze git tags (version history)
- Review CI/CD configurations
- Check package manager files
- Identify release automation tools
2. Document current strategy
- Classify release approach
- Map version alignment
- Identify gaps and issues
3. Suggest improvements
- Recommend best practices
- Propose RC workflow
- Suggest automation opportunities
```
### 2. Multi-Repo Release Orchestration
**Coordinated Releases**:
```bash
# Example: Release Product v3.0.0 across 4 repos
1. Analyze dependencies
- Build dependency graph
- Calculate release order (topological sort)
- Identify blocking dependencies
2. Create release waves
Wave 1: shared-lib, database-migrations
Wave 2: backend services (parallel)
Wave 3: api-gateway
Wave 4: frontend apps (parallel)
3. Generate release plan
- Create increment: 0050-product-v3-release
- Document in spec.md
- Create detailed plan.md
- Generate tasks.md with validation gates
4. Execute wave-by-wave
- Pre-flight checks (Wave 0)
- Release Wave 1 → validate → proceed
- Release Wave 2 → validate → proceed
- Release Wave 3 → validate → proceed
- Release Wave 4 → validate → proceed
5. Post-release validation
- Run smoke tests
- Monitor metrics (1 hour)
- Update living docs
- Notify stakeholders
```
### 3. Version Alignment & Validation
**Analyze and Align Versions**:
```bash
# Scenario: 5 microservices with different versions
1. Read current versions
frontend: v4.2.0
backend: v2.8.0
api-gateway: v3.1.0
auth-service: v2.0.0
shared-lib: v1.5.0
2. Analyze conventional commits
- Calculate suggested bumps
- Detect breaking changes
- Identify new features
3. Suggest aligned versions
Strategy: Independent with coordinated majors
frontend: v5.0.0 (breaking: React 18)
backend: v2.9.0 (feature: new API)
api-gateway: v4.0.0 (breaking: v2 endpoints removed)
auth-service: v2.0.0 (no changes)
shared-lib: v2.0.0 (breaking: auth interface)
4. Validate compatibility
✓ Frontend v5.0.0 compatible with backend v2.9.0
✓ Backend v2.9.0 compatible with api-gateway v4.0.0
✗ Auth-service needs shared-lib v2.0.0 upgrade
5. Generate migration plan
- Update auth-service dependencies
- Test compatibility
- Then proceed with releases
```
### 4. Release Candidate Management
**Complete RC Workflow**:
```bash
# Scenario: Major version release with RC validation
1. Create initial RC
Tag: v1.0.0-rc.1
Deploy: Staging environment
Test: Automated + manual
2. Iterate on issues
Bug found → Fix → Tag rc.2
Performance issue → Fix → Tag rc.3
3. Canary deployment
Deploy rc.3 to production (5% traffic)
Monitor: 24 hours
Validate: Error rate, latency, user feedback
4. Gradual rollout
10% traffic (1 hour)
25% traffic (2 hours)
50% traffic (4 hours)
100% traffic (8 hours)
5. Promote to production
Tag: v1.0.0 (final)
Update: Living docs
Notify: Stakeholders
Monitor: 24-48 hours post-release
6. Document
- RC iteration history
- Issues found and fixed
- Promotion decision rationale
```
### 5. Rollback Coordination
**Safe and Fast Rollback**:
```bash
# Scenario: Production issue detected
1. Detect issue
Error rate: 5% → 15% (critical)
Decision: Immediate rollback
2. Execute rollback
Kubernetes: kubectl rollout undo deployment/myapp
Verify: Health checks passing
Validate: Error rate back to baseline
3. Communicate
Notify: Engineering team
Update: Incident channel
Log: Rollback timestamp
4. Root cause analysis
Review: Logs, metrics, traces
Identify: Bug introduced in v1.0.0
Document: Postmortem
5. Fix and re-release
Create: Hotfix branch from v0.9.0
Fix: Bug
Tag: v1.0.1
Deploy: Following RC workflow
```
### 6. Living Documentation Maintenance
**Automatic Documentation Updates**:
```bash
# After every release, I update:
1. Release Strategy Document
Location: .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
Updates: Version history, lessons learned, process improvements
2. Version Matrix (Umbrella Releases)
Location: .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/version-matrix.md
Updates: Product version → service version mappings
3. ADRs (Architecture Decisions)
Example: ADR-025: Why We Chose Umbrella Versioning
Context: Decision rationale, alternatives considered
4. Increment Reports
Location: .specweave/increments/0050-product-v3-release/reports/
Content: Release summary, metrics, issues encountered
```
## How I Work
### Workflow: Single-Repo Release
```bash
User: "We need to release v2.0.0 of our backend API"
Release Manager:
1. Read current version: v1.5.0
2. Analyze commits since v1.5.0
- Found: 2 breaking changes, 5 features, 8 bug fixes
- Suggested: v2.0.0 (MAJOR)
3. Check release strategy
Read: .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
Strategy: Simple semver + RC for major versions
4. Create RC workflow
"Since this is a major version, I recommend RC workflow:"
- Create v2.0.0-rc.1
- Deploy to staging
- Run validation tests
- Fix issues → iterate to rc.2, rc.3, ...
- Promote to v2.0.0 when all tests pass
5. Create release increment
/specweave:increment "0055-backend-v2-release"
Generates: spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md
6. Execute release (if user confirms)
- Tag rc.1
- Deploy staging
- Run tests
- (User feedback loop)
- Tag v2.0.0
- Deploy production
7. Update living docs
- Release strategy (add v2.0.0 entry)
- Changelog
- API documentation
```
### Workflow: Multi-Repo Coordinated Release
```bash
User: "Release Product v4.0.0 across frontend, backend, and API"
Release Manager:
1. Analyze architecture
Repos: 3 (frontend, backend, api-gateway)
Current umbrella: v3.5.0
2. Read release strategy
Strategy: Umbrella versioning
Alignment: Independent service versions
3. Analyze dependencies
Dependency graph:
shared-lib → backend → api-gateway → frontend
Release order:
Wave 1: shared-lib
Wave 2: backend
Wave 3: api-gateway
Wave 4: frontend
4. Analyze commits per repo
shared-lib: v1.8.0 → v2.0.0 (breaking: auth interface)
backend: v2.5.0 → v3.0.0 (breaking: v2 API removed)
api-gateway: v3.1.0 → v4.0.0 (breaking: legacy routes)
frontend: v4.2.0 → v5.0.0 (breaking: React 18)
5. Create coordinated release plan
/specweave:increment "0060-product-v4-release"
spec.md:
- Product v4.0.0 umbrella
- Breaking changes documented
- Migration guide
plan.md:
- Wave 1: shared-lib v2.0.0
- Wave 2: backend v3.0.0 (depends: shared-lib v2.0.0)
- Wave 3: api-gateway v4.0.0 (depends: backend v3.0.0)
- Wave 4: frontend v5.0.0 (depends: api-gateway v4.0.0)
tasks.md:
- Pre-flight validation
- Wave 1 release + validation
- Wave 2 release + validation
- Wave 3 release + validation
- Wave 4 release + validation
- Post-release monitoring
6. Execute coordinated release (with RC workflow)
Product v4.0.0-rc.1:
- Tag all repos with rc.1
- Deploy to staging
- Run cross-service E2E tests
- Found issues → iterate to rc.2
- All pass → promote to final versions
7. Update living docs
- Version matrix (v4.0.0 → service versions)
- Release strategy (coordinated release process)
- ADR (why coordinated for this release)
```
### Workflow: Brownfield Analysis
```bash
User: "Analyze our existing release process"
Release Manager:
1. Scan git history
Tags found: v1.0.0, v1.1.0, v1.2.0, v2.0.0-rc.1, v2.0.0
Pattern: Semantic versioning ✓
RC usage: For major versions ✓
2. Scan CI/CD configurations
Found: .github/workflows/release.yml
Tool: semantic-release ✓
Automation: Tag → Build → Test → Publish ✓
3. Scan package managers
Found: package.json
Version: 2.0.0 (matches git tag ✓)
Scripts: npm version, npm publish ✓
4. Analyze monorepo tools (if applicable)
Found: lerna.json
Mode: independent
Packages: 12
5. Document current strategy
Create: .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
Content:
- Type: Monorepo with Lerna
- Versioning: Independent packages
- RC: For major versions
- Automation: semantic-release
- Frequency: Weekly
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions
6. Suggest improvements
Recommendations:
- ✓ Current strategy is solid
- Consider: Changesets for better changelog management
- Consider: Umbrella versioning for product milestones
- Add: Version matrix documentation
```
## Integration with SpecWeave
### Increment Lifecycle Integration
```bash
# I work seamlessly with SpecWeave's increment workflow
1. Planning Phase
/specweave:increment "0065-product-v5-release"
→ I'm automatically invoked to create release plan
→ Generate spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md
2. Execution Phase
/specweave:do
→ I orchestrate wave-by-wave execution
→ Validate at each gate
→ Update task completion
3. Completion Phase
/specweave:done 0065
→ I validate all releases successful
→ Update living docs
→ Sync to external tools (GitHub, Jira)
```
### Living Docs Integration
```bash
# I maintain release documentation automatically
Post-Task-Completion Hook:
→ Update release-strategy.md
→ Update version-matrix.md
→ Sync ADRs if architecture changed
Post-Increment-Completion:
→ Create release summary report
→ Update DORA metrics
→ Archive release artifacts
```
### Brownfield Integration
```bash
# I work with brownfield-analyzer skill
brownfield-analyzer detects:
- Repository structure
- Existing version tags
- CI/CD configurations
- Package manager files
I receive detection results:
- Classify release strategy
- Document in living docs
- Suggest improvements
```

## Example Interactions
### Example 1: New Project Setup
```
User: "We're starting a new microservices project with 6 services. How should we handle releases?"
Release Manager: I'll help you design an optimal release strategy. Let me analyze your setup:
1. Architecture Analysis:
- 6 microservices (high count)
- Tight coupling? Or independent? [Please clarify]
- Expected deployment frequency? [Daily/Weekly/Monthly?]
- Team structure? [One team or per-service teams?]
[User responds: "Moderate coupling, weekly releases, one team"]
2. Recommendation: Umbrella Versioning
- Product version (v1.0.0) spans all services
- Services version independently (service-a v2.1.0, service-b v1.5.0)
- Coordinated major releases only
- RC workflow for product releases
3. I'll create release-strategy.md documenting this approach.
[Creates: .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md]
4. Next steps:
- Set up CI/CD for automated releases
- Configure semantic-release or Changesets
- Define release waves (dependency order)
Would you like me to proceed with these steps?
```
### Example 2: Multi-Repo Release Execution
```
User: "/specweave-release:coordinate product-v3"
Release Manager: I'll orchestrate the Product v3.0.0 release across all repositories.
Step 1: Analyzing dependencies...
✓ Dependency graph built
✓ Release order calculated
Step 2: Analyzing version bumps...
shared-lib: v1.8.0 → v2.0.0 (breaking)
auth-service: v2.0.0 → v2.1.0 (feature)
user-service: v1.9.0 → v2.0.0 (breaking)
api-gateway: v3.1.0 → v4.0.0 (breaking)
frontend: v4.2.0 → v5.0.0 (breaking)
Step 3: Creating release plan...
✓ Increment created: 0070-product-v3-release
✓ spec.md generated
✓ plan.md with release waves
✓ tasks.md with validation gates
Step 4: Pre-flight validation...
✓ All tests passing
✓ Dependencies aligned
✓ Documentation updated
✗ BLOCKER: frontend still using shared-lib v1.5.0
Action Required: Update frontend to shared-lib v2.0.0 before proceeding.
Would you like me to:
1. Create task to update frontend dependencies
2. Wait for manual fix
3. Abort release planning
```
### Example 3: RC Management
```
User: "/specweave-release:rc create 2.0.0"
Release Manager: Creating Release Candidate for v2.0.0...
Step 1: Analyzing changes since v1.9.0...
- Breaking changes: 2
- Features: 5
- Bug fixes: 8
→ Major version bump confirmed ✓
Step 2: Creating RC...
✓ Tagged: v2.0.0-rc.1
✓ Pushed to origin
Step 3: Triggering CI/CD...
✓ GitHub Actions workflow started
✓ Building Docker image
✓ Running tests (est. 15 minutes)
Step 4: Deployment plan...
- Staging: Automatic (after build completes)
- Canary: Manual approval required
- Production: Gradual rollout (after RC validation)
I'll monitor the build and notify you when RC is ready for testing.
Next steps:
1. Wait for CI/CD to complete
2. Deploy to staging
3. Run validation tests
4. Review RC status: /specweave-release:rc-status 2.0.0-rc.1
5. If issues found: Iterate to rc.2

```
### Step 3: Check Alignment Strategy
```markdown
Reading release strategy...
Location: .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
Strategy: Independent Versioning
- Each repository versions separately
- Only bump repos with changes
- Validate compatibility constraints
Applying strategy rules...
✓ frontend: Independent bump (v5.0.0)
✓ backend: Independent bump (v2.9.0)
✓ api-gateway: Independent bump (v4.0.0)
✓ shared-lib: Independent bump (v1.5.1)
```
### Step 4: Validate Compatibility
```markdown
Validating cross-repo compatibility...
Dependency Check 1: shared-lib versions
frontend package.json: "shared-lib": "^1.5.0"
Current shared-lib: v1.5.0
Proposed shared-lib: v1.5.1
Compatible? ✓ (within ^1.5.0 range)
Dependency Check 2: API versions
frontend API client: Expects /api/v3
api-gateway: Provides /api/v3, /api/v4 (removing /api/v2)
Compatible? ✓ (v3 still supported)
Dependency Check 3: Database schema
backend requires: Schema v12
Current production: Schema v12
Compatible? ✓
Overall: All compatibility checks passed ✓
```
### Step 5: Review and Confirm
```markdown
Proposed version alignment:
┌──────────────┬──────────┬──────────┬───────────────────────┐
│ Repository │ Current │ Proposed │ Reason │
├──────────────┼──────────┼──────────┼───────────────────────┤
│ frontend │ v4.2.0 │ v5.0.0 │ Breaking: React 18 │
│ backend │ v2.8.0 │ v2.9.0 │ Feature: Notifications│
│ api-gateway │ v3.1.0 │ v4.0.0 │ Breaking: Remove v2 │
│ shared-lib │ v1.5.0 │ v1.5.1 │ Bug fixes │
└──────────────┴──────────┴──────────┴───────────────────────┘
Breaking Changes Summary:
- frontend: React 16 → 18 (requires Node.js 18+)
- api-gateway: Removed /api/v2 endpoints (use /api/v3)
Actions to perform:
1. Update package.json versions
2. Create git tags
3. Update CHANGELOG.md files
4. Push tags to origin
? Proceed with alignment? [Yes / No / Edit]
```
### Step 6: Execute Alignment
```markdown
Executing version alignment...
frontend (v4.2.0 → v5.0.0):
✓ Updated package.json

3. Monitor: Check CI/CD pipelines for build/test/publish
```
## Alignment Strategies
### Lockstep Versioning
**All repos share same version**:
```markdown
Strategy: Lockstep
Current State:
- frontend: v2.5.0
- backend: v2.5.0
- api: v2.5.0
Analysis:
- frontend: Breaking change detected
- backend: Bug fix
- api: No changes
Alignment Rule: Use highest bump type (MAJOR)
Proposed:
- frontend: v3.0.0 (breaking)
- backend: v3.0.0 (forced, no changes)
- api: v3.0.0 (forced, no changes)
⚠️ Warning: backend and api have no changes but must bump for lockstep
```
### Independent Versioning
**Each repo versions separately**:
```markdown
Strategy: Independent
Current State:
- frontend: v4.2.0
- backend: v2.8.0
- api: v3.1.0
Analysis:
- frontend: Breaking change
- backend: New feature
- api: Bug fix
Alignment Rule: Bump each independently
Proposed:
- frontend: v5.0.0 (major)
- backend: v2.9.0 (minor)
- api: v3.1.1 (patch)
✓ Each repo versions at its own pace
```
### Umbrella Versioning
**Product version spans service versions**:
```markdown
Strategy: Umbrella
Current Product: v4.0.0
- frontend: v4.2.0
- backend: v2.8.0
- api: v3.1.0
Analysis:
- frontend: Breaking change (React 18)
- backend: New feature (notifications)
- api: Breaking change (remove v2)
Alignment Rule: Product major bump (any service has breaking)
Proposed Product: v5.0.0
- frontend: v5.0.0
- backend: v2.9.0
- api: v4.0.0
Updated Version Matrix:
Product v5.0.0 = {frontend: v5.0.0, backend: v2.9.0, api: v4.0.0}
```
## Version Conflict Detection
**Example: Dependency Version Mismatch**
```markdown
Validating compatibility...
❌ Conflict detected!
service-a:
package.json: "shared-lib": "^2.0.0"
Requires: shared-lib v2.x
service-b:
package.json: "shared-lib": "^1.5.0"
Requires: shared-lib v1.x
Current:
shared-lib: v2.0.0
Problem:
service-b is incompatible with shared-lib v2.0.0
(requires v1.x, but v2.0.0 has breaking changes)
Resolution Options:
1. Update service-b to use "shared-lib": "^2.0.0"
2. Test service-b with shared-lib v2.0.0
3. Fix any breaking changes
4. Then retry alignment
[Abort alignment]
```
## Conventional Commits
**This command relies on conventional commits**:
```bash
# Breaking change (MAJOR bump)
feat!: upgrade to React 18
BREAKING CHANGE: Requires Node.js 18+
# Feature (MINOR bump)
feat: add real-time notifications
feat(api): add WebSocket support
# Bug fix (PATCH bump)
fix: prevent null pointer in user service
fix(ui): correct button alignment
# No version bump
docs: update README
chore: upgrade dependencies
style: format code
refactor: extract helper function
test: add unit tests
```
**Commit Analysis**:
- Scans commits: `git log <last-tag>..HEAD`
- Parses commit messages
- Categorizes: breaking / feature / fix / other
- Suggests bump: MAJOR / MINOR / PATCH
## Integration with Release Strategy
**Reads strategy from**:
```
.specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
```
**Uses strategy to**:
- Determine alignment approach (lockstep/independent/umbrella)
- Apply version bump rules
- Validate compatibility constraints
- Generate appropriate documentation
## Multi-Project Support
**For multi-project setups**:
```bash
# Align versions within a specific project
/specweave-release:align --project frontend-team
# Align across all projects
/specweave-release:align --all-projects
# Align specific project's repos only
/specweave-release:align --project backend-team --repos api,database
```
## Best Practices
**Before Aligning**:
- Ensure all repos are clean (no uncommitted changes)
- Pull latest changes from origin
- Review conventional commits
- Check release strategy is up-to-date
**During Alignment**:
- Use dry-run first to preview changes
- Review version bumps carefully
- Validate compatibility thoroughly
- Document breaking changes
**After Alignment**:
- Monitor CI/CD pipelines
- Create release increment
- Update living docs
- Notify team of new versions
## Example Interactions
### Lockstep Alignment
```bash
User: /specweave-release:align --strategy lockstep
Release Manager: Analyzing repositories with lockstep strategy...
Current State:
- service-a: v2.5.0
- service-b: v2.5.0
- service-c: v2.5.0
Commit Analysis:
- service-a: Breaking change detected
- service-b: Bug fix only
- service-c: No changes
Lockstep Rule: All repos must bump together (use highest: MAJOR)
Proposed:
- service-a: v3.0.0 (breaking change)
- service-b: v3.0.0 (forced, for alignment)
- service-c: v3.0.0 (forced, for alignment)
⚠️ Note: service-b and service-c have no changes but must bump for lockstep
? Proceed? [Yes / No]
```
### Independent Alignment with Conflict
```bash
User: /specweave-release:align
Release Manager: Analyzing repositories with independent strategy...
...
Validating compatibility...
❌ Conflict detected!
frontend requires: api-client v4.0.0
api-gateway provides: v3.1.0 (proposed bump to v3.1.1)
Problem: Frontend expects v4 API, but gateway hasn't released v4 yet
Resolution:
Option 1: Release api-gateway v4.0.0 first (breaking changes)
Option 2: Update frontend to use api-client v3.x (delay v4 features)
Option 3: Coordinate release (release gateway v4 with frontend v5)
Recommendation: Option 3 (coordinated release)
Would you like me to create a coordinated release increment?
```

# /specweave-release:init - Initialize Release Strategy
Initialize or analyze the release strategy for your project.
## What This Command Does
**For New Projects (Greenfield)**:
1. Analyzes project architecture (single-repo, multi-repo, monorepo)
2. Asks about team size, deployment frequency, coupling between services
3. Recommends optimal release strategy (lockstep, independent, umbrella)
4. Creates `.specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md`
5. Suggests CI/CD automation opportunities
**For Existing Projects (Brownfield)**:
1. Scans git history for version tags and patterns
2. Analyzes CI/CD configurations (.github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml, etc.)
3. Checks package manager files (package.json, setup.py, pom.xml, etc.)
4. Detects monorepo tools (Lerna, Nx, Turborepo, Changesets)
5. Documents existing strategy in living docs
6. Suggests improvements and best practices
## Usage
```bash
# Interactive analysis and recommendation
/specweave-release:init
# Force re-analysis (overwrite existing strategy)
/specweave-release:init --force
# Quick analysis (no interactive prompts, use defaults)
/specweave-release:init --quick
```
## Workflow
### Greenfield Projects
```markdown
1. Project Structure Analysis
→ Detect repositories (scan for .git/)
→ Count services/packages
→ Identify architecture pattern
2. Interactive Questionnaire
? How many repositories? [1 / 2-5 / 5+]
? Team structure? [One team / Per-service teams / Mixed]
? Deployment frequency? [Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Ad-hoc]
? Coupling between services? [Tight / Moderate / Loose]
? Planning to use RC workflow? [Yes / No / For major versions only]
3. Strategy Recommendation
Based on your answers:
→ Recommended: Umbrella Versioning
→ Rationale: Medium-sized team, weekly releases, moderate coupling
→ RC workflow: For major versions (breaking changes)
4. Documentation Creation
→ Create: .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
→ Include: Versioning approach, RC workflow, CI/CD integration
→ Add: Release checklist, rollback procedures
5. Next Steps Guidance
→ Set up CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions template provided)
→ Configure semantic-release or Changesets
→ Define release waves (dependency order)
→ Create first release increment: /specweave:increment "0001-v1-release"
```

## What Gets Created
**File**: `.specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md`
**Structure**:
```markdown
# Release Strategy: {Project Name}
## Overview
- Repository Type: Single-repo / Multi-repo / Monorepo
- Versioning Strategy: Lockstep / Independent / Umbrella
- RC Workflow: Yes / No / Major versions only
- Release Frequency: Daily / Weekly / Monthly
- Automation Level: Manual / Semi-automated / Fully automated
## Repositories
| Repo | Purpose | Current Version | Frequency |
|------|---------|----------------|-----------|
| frontend | User interface | v5.2.0 | Weekly |
| backend | API server | v3.8.0 | Bi-weekly |
| shared-lib | Shared utilities | v2.1.0 | Monthly |
## Version Alignment
- **Major versions**: Coordinated (breaking changes affect all)
- **Minor versions**: Independent (services evolve separately)
- **Patch versions**: Independent (bug fixes as needed)
## Release Candidate Workflow
1. Create RC tag: v{major}.{minor}.{patch}-rc.1
2. Deploy to staging environment
3. Run validation tests (unit + integration + E2E + performance)
4. Testing phase: 1-2 weeks
5. Bug fixes → Iterate to rc.2, rc.3, ...
6. All tests pass → Promote to production: v{major}.{minor}.{patch}
7. Gradual rollout: 10% → 25% → 50% → 100%
## CI/CD Integration
- **Tool**: GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins / CircleCI
- **Trigger**: Push tags matching v*.*.* pattern
- **Workflow**:
1. Build: Compile, bundle, create artifacts
2. Test: Run all automated tests
3. Publish: NPM / PyPI / Docker Registry / Maven Central
4. Release: Create GitHub/GitLab release with changelog
5. Deploy: Push to staging/production (Kubernetes/AWS/etc.)
## Changelog Management
- **Tool**: Conventional Changelog / Keep a Changelog / semantic-release
- **Format**: CHANGELOG.md (root or per-package)
- **Automation**: Generate from conventional commits
- **Manual curation**: For major releases (highlight key features)
## Hotfix Strategy
- **Branch**: hotfix/* from production tag
- **Version**: Patch bump (v1.0.1)
- **Process**:
1. Branch from production tag (v1.0.0)
2. Fix bug
3. Fast-track testing (critical tests only)
4. Tag hotfix version (v1.0.1)
5. Deploy immediately
6. Merge back to main branch

## Multi-Project Support
**For multi-project setups**, the strategy can be project-specific:
```
.specweave/docs/internal/projects/frontend/delivery/release-strategy.md
.specweave/docs/internal/projects/backend/delivery/release-strategy.md
.specweave/docs/internal/projects/mobile/delivery/release-strategy.md
```
Or cross-project if all projects share the same strategy:
```
.specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
```
## Integration with SpecWeave
**After initialization**:
1. **Create first release increment**:
```bash
/specweave:increment "0001-v1-0-0-release"
```
2. **Align versions** (for multi-repo):
```bash
/specweave-release:align
```
3. **Create RC** (for major versions):
```bash
/specweave-release:rc create 1.0.0
```
4. **Execute release**:
```bash
/specweave:do
```
5. **Complete release**:
```bash
/specweave:done 0001
```
## Brownfield Integration
**This command integrates with brownfield-analyzer skill**:
```bash
# If brownfield-analyzer already ran:
# → Uses detected patterns
# → Validates findings
# → Enhances documentation
# If not yet analyzed:
# → Triggers brownfield-analyzer
# → Detects release patterns
# → Documents strategy
```
## Best Practices
**Documentation**:
- Keep release-strategy.md up-to-date
- Document lessons learned after each release
- Link to ADRs for major decisions
- Update when process changes
**Versioning**:
- Always follow semantic versioning
- Use RC for major versions
- Document breaking changes clearly
- Maintain version matrix for umbrella releases
**Automation**:
- Automate as much as possible (CI/CD)
- Use conventional commits (enables automated changelogs)
- Validate releases in CI/CD pipeline
- Monitor releases automatically
**Communication**:
- Notify team before releases
- Document rollback procedures
- Track DORA metrics
- Share postmortems

description: Bump patch version, create git tag, and trigger npm publish via GitHub Actions. Automates the complete release workflow with pre-flight checks, version bumping, tag creation, and GitHub Actions triggering. Use --only flag for quick local release (bumps version, builds, publishes to npm directly - NO git push, NO pipeline). Add --push to --only for complete local release with git sync. Use --only --local for FASTEST local-only version bump (no npm publish, no git, just version increment for local testing).
---
# /specweave-release:npm - NPM Release Automation
You are the NPM Release Assistant. Your job is to automate the patch version release process.
## Command Modes
| Command | Flow | Use Case |
|---------|------|----------|
| `/specweave-release:npm` | Bump → Push → **CI publishes** | Standard release (CI handles npm) |
| `/specweave-release:npm --only` | Bump → Build → **Publish locally** → NO push | Quick local release, push later |
| `/specweave-release:npm --only --push` | Bump → Build → **Publish locally** → Push | Complete local release + git sync |
| `/specweave-release:npm --only --local` | **Bump ONLY** → NO build, NO publish, NO git | FASTEST: Local testing only |
## Detecting Mode
Check flags in the command invocation:
```
--only --local → Version bump ONLY (no build, no publish, no git) - FASTEST
--only --push → Direct publish + push to git after
--only → Direct publish to npm (bypass CI)
(no flags) → Default: push to git, CI publishes
```
**Flag Detection Order:**
1. Check for `--only` flag
2. If `--only` present, check for `--local` flag → LOCAL MODE (fastest)
3. If `--only` present, check for `--push` flag → DIRECT MODE + PUSH
4. If `--only` only → DIRECT MODE
5. No flags → DEFAULT MODE
**If `--only --local`**: Use LOCAL MODE (section "Local Mode Workflow") - FASTEST!
**If `--only --push`**: Use DIRECT MODE WITH PUSH (section "Direct Mode + Push Workflow")
**If `--only` only**: Use DIRECT MODE (section "Direct Mode Workflow")
**If no flags**: Use DEFAULT MODE (continue with steps below)
## Your Task
Execute the following steps in order:
### 1. Pre-flight Checks
```bash
# Verify we're on develop branch
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
# Check for uncommitted changes
git status --porcelain
# Verify current version
node -p "require('./package.json').version"
```
**STOP if**:
- Not on `develop` branch (ask user to switch)
- Uncommitted changes exist (ask user to commit first)
### 2. Bump Patch Version
```bash
# This creates commit + tag automatically
npm version patch -m "chore: bump version to %s"
```
**What this does**:
- Updates `package.json` and `package-lock.json`
- Creates git commit with message "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z"
- Creates git tag `vX.Y.Z`
### 3. Extract New Version
```bash
# Get the new version
node -p "require('./package.json').version"
```
### 4. Push to GitHub
```bash
# Push commit and tag to trigger GitHub Actions
git push origin develop --follow-tags
```
**What happens next**:
- GitHub Actions workflow detects the tag
- Runs tests
- Publishes to npm
- Creates GitHub release
### 5. Report Results
Show the user:
```markdown
✅ Release initiated successfully!
📦 **Version**: vX.Y.Z
🔗 **Tag**: https://github.com/anton-abyzov/specweave/releases/tag/vX.Y.Z
**GitHub Actions**: https://github.com/anton-abyzov/specweave/actions
**Next steps**:
1. Monitor GitHub Actions workflow (1-2 minutes)
2. Verify npm publish: https://www.npmjs.com/package/specweave
3. Check GitHub release notes
**Note**: GitHub Actions will automatically:
- Build and test the package
- Publish to npm
- Create GitHub release with CHANGELOG notes
```
## Error Handling
**If `npm version` fails**:
- Check if version already exists
- Verify package.json is valid
- Ask user to manually fix and retry
**If `git push` fails**:
- Check network connection
- Verify git credentials
- Check branch protection rules
## Safety Rules
- ✅ ONLY bump patch version (never minor/major without confirmation)
- ✅ ALWAYS check for uncommitted changes first
- ✅ ALWAYS verify on develop branch
- ✅ NEVER force push
- ✅ NEVER skip pre-flight checks
## Success Criteria (Default Mode)
✅ Version bumped in package.json
✅ Git commit created
✅ Git tag created
✅ Changes pushed to GitHub
✅ GitHub Actions workflow triggered
---
## DIRECT MODE WORKFLOW (--only flag)
Use this workflow when `--only` flag is detected. This publishes directly to npm WITHOUT git push or GitHub Actions.
### 1. Pre-flight Checks (Same as Default)
```bash
# Verify we're on develop branch
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
# Check for uncommitted changes
git status --porcelain
# Verify current version
node -p "require('./package.json').version"
```
**STOP if**:
- Not on `develop` branch (ask user to switch)
- Uncommitted changes exist (ask user to commit first)
### 2. Bump Patch Version (Same as Default)
```bash
# This creates commit + tag automatically
npm version patch -m "chore: bump version to %s"
```
**What this does**:
- Updates `package.json` and `package-lock.json`
- Creates git commit with message "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z"
- Creates git tag `vX.Y.Z`
### 3. Extract New Version
```bash
# Get the new version
node -p "require('./package.json').version"
```
### 4. Build Package
```bash
# Build the package before publishing
npm run rebuild
```
**Critical**: Must rebuild to ensure dist/ is up-to-date before publishing.
### 5. Publish to NPM Directly
```bash
# Publish directly to npm (bypasses GitHub Actions)
npm publish
```
**What this does**:
- Builds package tarball
- Publishes to npm registry immediately
- No GitHub Actions involvement
### 6. Report Results (Direct Mode)
Show the user:
```markdown
**Published directly to npm!**
📦 **Version**: vX.Y.Z
🔗 **NPM**: https://www.npmjs.com/package/specweave
🏷️ **Git Tag**: vX.Y.Z (local only)
**What happened**:
- ✅ Version bumped and committed locally
- ✅ Git tag created locally
- ✅ Package built (npm run rebuild)
- ✅ Published to npm directly
- ⏸️ Git NOT pushed (use `git push origin develop --follow-tags` later if needed)
**Verify**:
- Check npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/specweave
- Verify version: `npm view specweave version`
- Install globally: `npm install -g specweave@X.Y.Z`
**Note**: Local release only. Push to GitHub manually when ready:
`git push origin develop --follow-tags`
```
## Direct Mode Safety Rules
- ✅ ALWAYS rebuild before publishing (`npm run rebuild`)
- ✅ Use `--only` for emergency/quick releases or local testing
- ✅ Default mode (GitHub Actions) is preferred for regular releases
- ✅ Direct mode gives immediate feedback (no CI wait time)
- ⚠️ Remember to push git changes later to sync GitHub
## Success Criteria (Direct Mode)
✅ Version bumped in package.json
✅ Git commit created locally
✅ Git tag created locally
✅ Package rebuilt
✅ Published to npm directly
⏸️ Git NOT pushed (manual sync later)
---
## DIRECT MODE + PUSH WORKFLOW (--only --push flags)
Use this workflow when BOTH `--only` AND `--push` flags are detected. This is the **complete local release** - publishes to npm directly AND pushes to git.
**Use case**: You want full control - publish immediately, then sync git. No CI involvement in npm publish.
### 1. Pre-flight Checks
```bash
# Verify we're on develop branch
git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
# Check for uncommitted changes
git status --porcelain
# Verify current version
node -p "require('./package.json').version"
```
**STOP if**:
- Not on `develop` branch (ask user to switch)
**If uncommitted changes exist → AUTO-COMMIT FIRST (Step 1b)**
### 1b. Auto-Commit Uncommitted Changes (if any)
When `--only --push` is used, uncommitted changes should be committed automatically before version bump.
**Algorithm to generate commit message:**
1. Run `git status --porcelain` and categorize files:
- `src/**` → code changes
- `*.md`, `docs/` → documentation
- `.specweave/docs/internal/**` → internal docs
- `plugins/**` → plugin changes
- `tests/**`, `*.test.ts` → test changes
- `package*.json`, `*.config.*` → config/deps
2. Determine primary category (most files) and action (add/update/remove):
- New files (`??`, `A`) → "add"
- Modified (`M`) → "update"
- Deleted (`D`) → "remove"
3. Generate concise message: `type: action description`
**Examples:**
- Many ADR renames + docs moves → `chore: reorganize internal docs structure`
- Plugin command updates → `feat(release): add --push flag to npm release`
- Mixed code + docs → `chore: update code and documentation`
**Execute auto-commit:**
```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "[generated message]"
```
Then continue with version bump.
### 2. Bump Patch Version
```bash
# This creates commit + tag automatically
npm version patch -m "chore: bump version to %s"
```
### 3. Extract New Version
```bash
# Get the new version
node -p "require('./package.json').version"
```
### 4. Build Package
```bash
# Build the package before publishing
npm run rebuild
```
**Critical**: Must rebuild to ensure dist/ is up-to-date before publishing.
### 5. Publish to NPM Directly
```bash
# Publish directly to npm (bypasses GitHub Actions)
npm publish
```
### 6. Push to Git (NEW!)
```bash
# Push commit and tag to sync with remote
git push origin develop --follow-tags
```
**What this does**:
- Syncs your version bump commit to GitHub
- Pushes the version tag (vX.Y.Z)
- Does NOT trigger CI npm publish (already published!)
### 7. Report Results (Direct Mode + Push)
Show the user:
```markdown
**Complete local release!**
📦 **Version**: vX.Y.Z
🔗 **NPM**: https://www.npmjs.com/package/specweave
🏷️ **Git Tag**: https://github.com/anton-abyzov/specweave/releases/tag/vX.Y.Z
**What happened**:
- ✅ Version bumped and committed
- ✅ Git tag created
- ✅ Package built (npm run rebuild)
- ✅ Published to npm directly
- ✅ Pushed to GitHub (commit + tag)
**Verify**:
- NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/specweave
- Version: `npm view specweave version`
- GitHub: Check releases page
**Note**: This was a direct publish. GitHub Actions will NOT republish
(the tag already exists, CI skips existing versions).
```
## Direct Mode + Push Safety Rules
- ✅ ALWAYS rebuild before publishing
- ✅ Publishes FIRST, then pushes (ensures npm has the version)
- ✅ If push fails, npm already has the release (safe state)
- ✅ CI will skip publishing for this version (tag already exists)
- ⚠️ Use when you need immediate npm availability + git sync
## Success Criteria (Direct Mode + Push)
✅ Version bumped in package.json
✅ Git commit created
✅ Git tag created
✅ Package rebuilt
✅ Published to npm directly
✅ Pushed to GitHub (commit + tag synced)
---
## Quick Reference
```bash
# Standard release (CI handles npm publish)
/specweave-release:npm
# Quick local publish, sync git later
/specweave-release:npm --only
# Complete local release (publish + push)
/specweave-release:npm --only --push
# FASTEST: Version bump only (no publish, no git, no build)
/specweave-release:npm --only --local
```
| Scenario | Command | NPM Published By | Git Pushed |
|----------|---------|------------------|------------|
| Normal release | (no flags) | GitHub Actions | ✅ Yes |
| Quick local, push later | `--only` | You (local) | ❌ No |
| Complete local release | `--only --push` | You (local) | ✅ Yes |
| **FASTEST local test** | `--only --local` | ❌ None | ❌ No |
---
## LOCAL MODE WORKFLOW (--only --local flags) - FASTEST!
Use this workflow when BOTH `--only` AND `--local` flags are detected. This is the **fastest possible** version bump - NO npm publish, NO git operations, NO build. Just increment the version number for local testing.
**Use case**: You need to quickly test a new version locally without publishing anywhere. Perfect for:
- Testing version-dependent features
- Local development iterations
- Quick version bumps before a real release
### 1. Minimal Pre-flight Check
```bash
# Just verify current version (no git checks needed!)
node -p "require('./package.json').version"
```
**NO git checks** - we're not committing or pushing anything!
### 2. Bump Version (NO git commit, NO tag)
```bash
# Bump version WITHOUT creating git commit or tag
npm version patch --no-git-tag-version
```
**What this does**:
- Updates `package.json` version ONLY
- Updates `package-lock.json` version ONLY
- NO git commit created
- NO git tag created
- INSTANT (< 1 second)
### 3. Report Results (Local Mode)
Show the user:
```markdown
**FAST local version bump!**
📦 **Version**: X.Y.Z → X.Y.(Z+1)
**What happened**:
- ✅ package.json version bumped
- ✅ package-lock.json updated
- ⏭️ NO git commit (use `git add . && git commit` later)
- ⏭️ NO git tag (use `git tag vX.Y.Z` later)
- ⏭️ NO npm publish (use `npm publish` later)
- ⏭️ NO build (use `npm run rebuild` later)
**Next steps when ready to release**:
1. Build: `npm run rebuild`
2. Test: `npm test`
3. Commit: `git add . && git commit -m "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z"`
4. Tag: `git tag vX.Y.Z`
5. Publish: `npm publish`
6. Push: `git push origin develop --follow-tags`
**Or use**: `/specweave-release:npm --only --push` for full release
```
## Local Mode Safety Rules
- ✅ FASTEST possible - single npm command
- ✅ NO network operations (no npm publish, no git push)
- ✅ NO disk-heavy operations (no build)
- ✅ Safe to run multiple times (just increments version)
- ⚠️ Remember: version is NOT published or committed!
- ⚠️ Run `npm run rebuild` before testing locally
## Success Criteria (Local Mode)
✅ Version bumped in package.json
✅ Version bumped in package-lock.json
⏭️ NO git commit
⏭️ NO git tag
⏭️ NO npm publish
⏭️ NO build
**Time**: < 1 second

# Platform Release Coordination
**Purpose**: Orchestrate releases across multiple repositories as a unified platform version.
**When to Use**: Multi-repo architectures where services must release together (umbrella versioning).
---
## Commands
### Create Platform RC
```bash
/specweave-release:platform create <platform-version>
```
**Example**:
```bash
/specweave-release:platform create v3.0.0
```
**What it does**:
1. Validates all repos have clean working directories
2. Creates `release/v*` branches in all repos (GitFlow)
3. Aligns versions across repos (using semantic versioning)
4. Tags RC.1 in all repos: `v5.0.0-rc.1`, `v2.9.0-rc.1`, etc.
5. Updates platform manifest: `.specweave/platform-releases.json`
6. Creates version matrix: `.specweave/docs/internal/delivery/version-matrix.md`
**Output**:
```

✓ Created .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/version-matrix.md
✅ Platform v3.0.0-rc.1 created!
Next steps:
1. Deploy to staging
2. Run E2E tests
3. If tests pass: /specweave-release:platform promote v3.0.0-rc.1
4. If tests fail: /specweave-release:platform iterate v3.0.0-rc.1
```
---
### Iterate Platform RC
```bash
/specweave-release:platform iterate <platform-rc-version>
```
**Example**:
```bash
/specweave-release:platform iterate v3.0.0-rc.1
```
**What it does**:
1. Identifies which repos need fixes
2. Bumps RC number (rc.1 → rc.2)
3. Tags new RC in affected repos only
4. Updates platform manifest
**Output**:
```
🔄 Iterating Platform RC: v3.0.0-rc.1
Which repos need fixes?
[x] frontend
[ ] backend (no changes needed)
[x] api-gateway
Creating RC.2 for changed repos:
✓ frontend: v5.0.0-rc.2
✓ api-gateway: v4.0.0-rc.2
backend: v2.9.0-rc.1 (unchanged)
✅ Platform v3.0.0-rc.2 created!
```
---
### Promote Platform RC to Production
```bash
/specweave-release:platform promote <platform-rc-version>
```
**Example**:
```bash
/specweave-release:platform promote v3.0.0-rc.3
```
**What it does**:
1. Validates all RCs passed tests
2. Merges release branches to main (GitFlow)
3. Tags final versions (removes -rc.N suffix)
4. Merges main back to develop (GitFlow)
5. Deletes release branches (optional)
6. Updates platform manifest with "released" status
7. Updates version matrix
8. Tracks DORA metrics
**Pre-Flight Checklist**:

## Configuration
**In `.specweave/config.json`**:
```json
{
"release": {
"platformMode": true,
"repositories": [
{
"name": "frontend",
"path": "../frontend",
"git": "https://github.com/org/frontend.git"
},
{
"name": "backend",
"path": "../backend",
"git": "https://github.com/org/backend.git"
},
{
"name": "api-gateway",
"path": "../api-gateway",
"git": "https://github.com/org/api-gateway.git"
}
],
"gitflow": {
"enabled": true,
"releaseBranchPrefix": "release/",
"deleteAfterMerge": true
}
}
}
```
---
## Best Practices
**When to Use Platform Releases**:
- ✅ Services have tight coupling (breaking changes affect multiple repos)
- ✅ Product milestones important (v3.0.0 marketing launch)
- ✅ Need coordinated testing (E2E tests span services)
- ✅ Compliance requirements (audit trail for version combinations)
**When NOT to Use**:
- ❌ Services are fully independent (no coupling)
- ❌ Different release cadences (frontend weekly, backend monthly)
- ❌ Large number of services (>10 repos - use independent versioning)
**RC Best Practices**:
- Create RC.1 early (at least 1 week before planned release)
- Limit RC iterations (ideally ≤3, if >5 something is wrong)
- Test cross-service integration thoroughly
- Document all changes between RCs
---
## Troubleshooting
**Issue**: Git conflicts during merge
```bash
# Solution: Resolve conflicts manually, then resume
git add .
git commit -m "Resolved conflicts"
/specweave-release:platform promote v3.0.0-rc.3 --resume
```
**Issue**: One service fails tests
```bash
# Solution: Fix the service, create new RC
# (Don't bump other services that passed)
/specweave-release:platform iterate v3.0.0-rc.2
```
**Issue**: Need to rollback
```bash
# Solution: Revert main to previous tag, create hotfix
git revert <commit>
/specweave-release:platform create v3.0.1
```

# /specweave-release:rc - Manage Release Candidates
Manage the complete Release Candidate (RC) lifecycle from creation to production promotion.
## What This Command Does
**RC Creation**:
- Creates pre-release tags (v1.0.0-rc.1)
- Deploys to staging environment
- Initializes RC testing checklist
**RC Testing**:
- Tracks validation status
- Runs automated tests
- Manages manual testing
- Documents issues found
**RC Iteration**:
- Fixes bugs → creates rc.2, rc.3, ...
- Never modifies existing RC tags (immutable)
- Maintains iteration history
**RC Promotion**:
- Validates all checks passed
- Promotes to production release (v1.0.0)
- Gradual rollout (canary → 100%)
- Updates living docs
## Usage
```bash
# Create new RC
/specweave-release:rc create <version>
/specweave-release:rc create 1.0.0
# Create RC iteration (bug fixes)
/specweave-release:rc iterate <rc-version>
/specweave-release:rc iterate 1.0.0-rc.2
# Show RC status
/specweave-release:rc status <rc-version>
/specweave-release:rc status 1.0.0-rc.3
# Run RC validation tests
/specweave-release:rc test <rc-version>
/specweave-release:rc test 1.0.0-rc.3
# Promote RC to production
/specweave-release:rc promote <rc-version>
/specweave-release:rc promote 1.0.0-rc.3
# Rollback failed RC
/specweave-release:rc rollback <rc-version>
/specweave-release:rc rollback 1.0.0-rc.2
# Multi-repo RC (creates RC for all repos)
/specweave-release:rc create-multi <product-version>
/specweave-release:rc create-multi product-v3.0.0

## Final Decision
Status: APPROVED ✅
Ready for production: Yes
Promote to: v1.0.0
Scheduled: 2025-01-16 10:00 UTC
```
## RC Rollback
**If issues detected during canary**:
```bash
/specweave-release:rc rollback 1.0.0-rc.3
```
```markdown
Rolling back v1.0.0-rc.3...
Reason: Error rate increased to 8% in canary
Step 1: Stopping new traffic to canary
✓ Kubernetes: kubectl rollout pause
Step 2: Routing traffic back to previous version
✓ 100% traffic → v0.9.0 (previous stable)
✓ 0% traffic → v1.0.0-rc.3 (canary)
Step 3: Verifying rollback
✓ Error rate back to 0.5% (normal)
✓ Latency back to baseline
✓ All health checks passing
Step 4: Documenting rollback
✓ Updated: RC-STATUS-v1.0.0.md
✓ Incident logged: INC-456
Step 5: Root cause analysis
Issue: Database connection pool exhausted
Fix required: Increase pool size + add connection retry logic
Rollback complete! ✓
Next steps:
1. Fix identified issue
2. Create rc.4 with fix
3. Re-test in staging
4. Retry canary deployment
```
## RC Status Tracking
**Creates detailed status document**:
```
.specweave/increments/0090-v1-release/reports/RC-STATUS-v1.0.0.md
```
**Tracks**:
- RC iteration history (rc.1, rc.2, rc.3, ...)
- Testing status per iteration
- Issues found and fixes applied
- Deployment history
- Promotion decision
## Integration with SpecWeave
**RC Command Integration**:
```bash
# 1. Create release increment
/specweave:increment "0090-v1-0-0-release"
# 2. Create RC
/specweave-release:rc create 1.0.0
# → Creates v1.0.0-rc.1
# 3. Testing phase
/specweave-release:rc test 1.0.0-rc.1
# → Runs automated tests
# 4. Iterate if needed
/specweave-release:rc iterate 1.0.0-rc.1
# → Creates v1.0.0-rc.2
# 5. Promote when ready
/specweave-release:rc promote 1.0.0-rc.3
# → Creates v1.0.0, deploys to production
# 6. Mark increment complete
/specweave:done 0090
# → Updates living docs
```
## Best Practices
**RC Creation**:
- Always start with rc.1
- Never modify existing RC tags
- Create new iteration for fixes
**RC Testing**:
- Run ALL tests for each iteration
- Never skip validation steps
- Use production-like staging data
**RC Promotion**:
- Gradual rollout (canary → waves)
- Monitor 1+ hour at each stage
- Have rollback plan ready
**RC Documentation**:
- Track all iterations
- Document bugs and fixes
- Record promotion rationale
## Related Commands
- `/specweave-release:init` - Initialize release strategy
- `/specweave-release:align` - Align versions before RC

name: rc-manager
description: Manages Release Candidate (RC) workflows including pre-release tagging, RC lifecycle (alpha/beta/rc), testing validation, RC promotion to production, rollback procedures, and channel-based releases. Handles RC versioning (v1.0.0-rc.1, v1.0.0-beta.1), tracks RC testing status, coordinates RC across multiple repositories, manages canary/blue-green deployments. Activates for release candidate, RC, pre-release, beta release, alpha release, canary release, rc workflow, promote rc, rc testing, staging release, pre-production.
---
# Release Candidate Manager
**Expertise**: Release Candidate (RC) lifecycle management, pre-release workflows, testing validation, and production promotion.
## Core Capabilities
### 1. RC Version Tagging
**Pre-Release Version Format**:
```yaml
# Semantic Versioning Pre-Release
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-PRERELEASE.ITERATION
Examples:
1.0.0-alpha.1 # Alpha release (very early, unstable)
1.0.0-alpha.2 # Alpha iteration 2
1.0.0-beta.1 # Beta release (feature complete, testing)
1.0.0-beta.2 # Beta iteration 2
1.0.0-rc.1 # Release candidate (near production)
1.0.0-rc.2 # RC iteration 2
1.0.0 # Final production release
Version Ordering:
1.0.0-alpha.1 < 1.0.0-alpha.2 < 1.0.0-beta.1 < 1.0.0-rc.1 < 1.0.0
```
**RC Iteration Rules**:
```yaml
# First RC
v1.0.0-rc.1
# Bug found, fixed → New RC
v1.0.0-rc.2
# More bugs fixed → New RC
v1.0.0-rc.3
# All tests pass → Promote to production
v1.0.0 (final)
# Key Rule: Never modify existing RC tags (immutable)
```
### 2. RC Lifecycle
**Three-Stage Pre-Release**:
```mermaid
graph LR
A[Development] -->|Feature Complete| B[Alpha]
B -->|Stable API| C[Beta]
C -->|Production Ready| D[RC]
D -->|Validated| E[Production]
B -->|Bug Fix| B
C -->|Bug Fix| C
D -->|Bug Fix| D
```
**Alpha Release** (Early Development):
```yaml
Purpose: Early feedback, API exploration
Tag: v1.0.0-alpha.1, v1.0.0-alpha.2, ...
Audience: Internal developers, early adopters
Stability: Unstable (breaking changes expected)
Duration: Weeks to months
Testing: Unit + integration tests
Deployment: Dev environment only
What Can Change:
- API contracts (breaking changes OK)
- Features (add/remove freely)
- Architecture (refactor allowed)
- Performance (optimize later)
Exit Criteria:
- API stabilized (no more breaking changes)
- Core features implemented
- Integration tests passing
```
**Beta Release** (Feature Complete):
```yaml
Purpose: Broader testing, performance validation
Tag: v1.0.0-beta.1, v1.0.0-beta.2, ...
Audience: Beta testers, QA team, select customers
Stability: Mostly stable (minor breaking changes only)
Duration: 2-6 weeks
Testing: E2E tests, performance tests, security scans
Deployment: Staging environment
What Can Change:
- Bug fixes (no new features)
- Minor API tweaks (avoid breaking changes)
- Performance improvements
- Documentation
Exit Criteria:
- All planned features complete
- No critical bugs
- Performance benchmarks met
- Security scan clean
```
**Release Candidate (RC)** (Production Ready):
```yaml
Purpose: Final validation before production
Tag: v1.0.0-rc.1, v1.0.0-rc.2, ...
Audience: Production-like environment, select production users
Stability: Production-ready (no changes except critical fixes)
Duration: 1-2 weeks
Testing: Smoke tests, load tests, chaos engineering
Deployment: Pre-production / Canary (1-5% traffic)
What Can Change:
- Critical bug fixes ONLY
- Hotfixes for showstoppers
- Configuration tweaks
Exit Criteria:
- All tests passing (100%)
- No blocker bugs
- Performance stable under load
- Stakeholder sign-off
- Chaos engineering passed
```
**Production Release**:
```yaml
Purpose: Stable release for all users
Tag: v1.0.0 (final)
Audience: All production users
Stability: Stable (no changes, only hotfix branches)
Testing: Continuous monitoring
Deployment: Production (100% traffic)
Post-Release:
- Monitor for 24-48 hours
- Track error rates, latency, throughput
- Rollback plan ready
- Hotfix branch created from tag
```

### 4. RC Promotion Workflow
**Step-by-Step RC → Production**:
```bash
# 1. Create initial RC
git tag v1.0.0-rc.1
git push origin v1.0.0-rc.1
# 2. Deploy to staging
kubectl apply -f k8s/staging/
# Wait for pods ready
# 3. Run automated tests
npm run test:e2e
npm run test:performance
npm run test:security
# 4. Deploy canary (5% traffic)
kubectl apply -f k8s/canary/
# Monitor for 24 hours
# 5. Found bug → Fix and iterate
git tag v1.0.0-rc.2
git push origin v1.0.0-rc.2
# Repeat steps 2-4
# 6. All tests pass → Promote to production
git tag v1.0.0
git push origin v1.0.0
# 7. Deploy to production (gradual rollout)
# - 10% traffic (1 hour)
# - 25% traffic (2 hours)
# - 50% traffic (4 hours)
# - 100% traffic (8 hours)
# 8. Monitor post-release
# - Error rates
# - Latency (p50, p95, p99)
# - Throughput
# - User feedback
# 9. Mark RC as promoted
# Update metadata:
# .specweave/increments/0045-v1-release/metadata.json
# {
# "rc": {
# "promoted": true,
# "promotedAt": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
# "finalVersion": "1.0.0",
# "rcVersion": "1.0.0-rc.3"
# }
# }
```
### 5. Multi-Repo RC Coordination
**Coordinated RC Across Repos**:
```yaml
# Scenario: Product v3.0.0-rc.1 spans 4 repos
Product: v3.0.0-rc.1
RC Versions:
- frontend: v5.0.0-rc.1
- backend: v3.0.0-rc.1
- api-gateway: v4.0.0-rc.1
- shared-lib: v2.0.0-rc.1
RC Release Process:
1. Tag all repos with rc.1
2. Deploy to staging (all services)
3. Run cross-service E2E tests
4. Found bugs in frontend + gateway
5. Fix bugs, tag rc.2:
- frontend: v5.0.0-rc.2
- api-gateway: v4.0.0-rc.2
- backend: v3.0.0-rc.1 (unchanged)
- shared-lib: v2.0.0-rc.1 (unchanged)
6. Re-test all services
7. All pass → Promote to production:
- frontend: v5.0.0
- backend: v3.0.0
- api-gateway: v4.0.0
- shared-lib: v2.0.0
8. Update product version matrix:
Product v3.0.0 = {frontend: v5.0.0, backend: v3.0.0, ...}
```
**RC Dependency Validation**:
```yaml
# Ensure RC versions are compatible
Check 1: Shared library versions match
frontend depends on: shared-lib ^2.0.0
backend depends on: shared-lib ^2.0.0
shared-lib RC: v2.0.0-rc.1 ✓
Check 2: API contracts aligned
frontend API client: v4.0.0-rc.1
api-gateway version: v4.0.0-rc.1 ✓
Check 3: Database schema compatible
Backend requires: schema v12
Current staging schema: v12 ✓
Result: All dependencies aligned ✓
```
### 6. Channel-Based Releases
**Release Channels**:
```yaml
# NPM-style channels
Stable: v1.0.0, v1.1.0, v1.2.0
- Production users (default)
- Fully tested and validated
- npm install myapp (installs latest stable)
Beta: v1.1.0-beta.1, v1.2.0-beta.1
- Beta testers opt-in
- Feature complete, testing phase
- npm install myapp@beta
Alpha: v1.1.0-alpha.1, v1.2.0-alpha.1
- Early adopters, internal testing
- Bleeding edge, unstable
- npm install myapp@alpha
Canary: v1.1.0-canary.abc123 (commit-based)
- Continuous deployment from main branch
- Every commit = new canary
- npm install myapp@canary
```
**Channel Deployment Strategy**:
```yaml
# Kubernetes deployment channels
Stable Deployment (Production):
replicas: 10
traffic: 100%
image: myapp:1.0.0
rollout: gradual (10% → 25% → 50% → 100%)
Beta Deployment (Pre-Production):
replicas: 2
traffic: 0% (manual testing only)
image: myapp:1.1.0-beta.1
namespace: beta
Canary Deployment (Production + Experimental):
replicas: 1
traffic: 5% (random users)
image: myapp:1.1.0-canary.abc123
rollback: automatic if error rate > 1%
namespace: production
```
### 7. RC Rollback Procedures
**When to Rollback RC**:
```yaml
Immediate Rollback Triggers:
- Error rate > 5% (critical)
- Latency p95 > 2x baseline (severe degradation)
- Data corruption detected (critical)
- Security vulnerability discovered (critical)
- Showstopper bug (app unusable)
Evaluation Period:
- Monitor for 1 hour after deployment
- Check dashboards: Grafana, Datadog, Sentry
- Review user feedback: Support tickets, social media
- Consult on-call engineer
Decision Matrix:
- Critical issue + production = Immediate rollback
- Severe issue + staging = Fix and iterate RC
- Minor issue + canary = Monitor and evaluate
```
**Rollback Execution**:
```bash
# Rollback from v1.0.0-rc.2 to v1.0.0-rc.1
# 1. Stop new deployments
kubectl rollout pause deployment/myapp
# 2. Rollback to previous RC
kubectl rollout undo deployment/myapp
# 3. Verify rollback
kubectl get pods
kubectl logs <pod-name>
# 4. Validate health
curl https://api.example.com/health
# Expected: 200 OK
# 5. Monitor metrics
# - Error rate back to normal? ✓
# - Latency back to baseline? ✓
# - User reports resolved? ✓
# 6. Communicate
# - Notify team: "Rolled back to rc.1"
# - Update incident report
# - Schedule postmortem
# 7. Fix issues, create rc.3
git tag v1.0.0-rc.3
git push origin v1.0.0-rc.3
```
### 8. RC Documentation

```
## When to Use This Skill
**Ask me to**:
1. **Create RC**:
- "Create release candidate for v1.0.0"
- "Tag v2.0.0-rc.1"
- "Start RC workflow for multi-repo release"
2. **Manage RC lifecycle**:
- "What's the status of RC v1.0.0-rc.3?"
- "List all RCs for product v3.0.0"
- "Show RC testing checklist"
3. **Validate RC**:
- "Is RC ready for production?"
- "Run RC validation checks"
- "Check RC promotion criteria"
4. **Promote RC**:
- "Promote v1.0.0-rc.3 to production"
- "Deploy RC to canary"
- "Gradual rollout of RC"
5. **Rollback RC**:
- "Rollback from rc.2 to rc.1"
- "RC deployment failed, rollback"
- "Undo canary deployment"
## Best Practices
**RC Creation**:
- Always start with rc.1 (never skip)
- Tag immutable (never modify existing RC)
- Document what changed since last release
**RC Testing**:
- Run ALL tests for each RC iteration
- Never skip validation steps
- Use production-like data in staging
**RC Promotion**:
- Gradual rollout (10% → 25% → 50% → 100%)
- Monitor for 1+ hour at each stage
- Have rollback plan ready
**RC Documentation**:
- Track all RC iterations
- Document bugs found and fixes
- Record promotion decision rationale
## Integration Points
**Release Coordinator**:
- Creates RCs for coordinated releases
- Validates RC dependencies
- Promotes RCs in correct order
**Version Aligner**:
- Manages RC version tags
- Ensures RC compatibility
- Updates version matrix with RC info
**Living Docs**:
- Documents RC status
- Tracks RC history
- Links to GitHub releases
**CI/CD**:
- Automates RC deployment
- Runs validation tests
- Monitors RC health
## Example Workflows
### Single-Repo RC
```bash
# 1. Create RC
/specweave-release:rc create 1.0.0
# 2. Deploy to staging
# (Automated via CI/CD)
# 3. Run tests
/specweave-release:rc test 1.0.0-rc.1
# 4. Bug found → iterate
/specweave-release:rc create 1.0.0 --iteration 2
# 5. All tests pass → promote
/specweave-release:rc promote 1.0.0-rc.3
```
### Multi-Repo RC
```bash
# 1. Create coordinated RC
/specweave-release:rc create-multi product-v3.0.0
# 2. Tags all repos with rc.1
# - frontend: v5.0.0-rc.1
# - backend: v3.0.0-rc.1
# - api-gateway: v4.0.0-rc.1
# 3. Deploy all to staging
# (Coordinated deployment)
# 4. Cross-service E2E tests
/specweave-release:rc test-multi product-v3.0.0-rc.1
# 5. Issues found → iterate
# - frontend: rc.2
# - api-gateway: rc.2
# - backend: unchanged (rc.1)
# 6. All pass → promote
/specweave-release:rc promote-multi product-v3.0.0-rc.2
```
## Commands Integration
Works with release commands:
- `/specweave-release:rc create <version>` - Create new RC
- `/specweave-release:rc test <rc-version>` - Validate RC
- `/specweave-release:rc promote <rc-version>` - Promote to production
- `/specweave-release:rc rollback <rc-version>` - Rollback RC
- `/specweave-release:rc status <rc-version>` - Show RC status
## Dependencies
**Required**:
- Git (version tags)
- SpecWeave core (increment lifecycle)
**Optional**:
- Kubernetes (`kubectl`) - Deployment management
- Docker (`docker`) - Container testing
- GitHub CLI (`gh`) - Release notes
- CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
## Output
**Creates/Updates**:
- Git tags (v1.0.0-rc.1, v1.0.0-rc.2, ...)
- RC status document (increment reports/)
- Deployment manifests (K8s, Docker)
- Test reports
- Promotion checklist
**Provides**:
- RC version history
- Testing validation status
- Deployment timeline
- Rollback procedures
- Production readiness assessment
---
**Remember**: Release Candidates are the final gate before production. Never rush RC validation. Always:
- Test thoroughly (unit + integration + E2E + performance + security)
- Deploy gradually (canary → 10% → 25% → 50% → 100%)
- Monitor continuously (error rates, latency, user feedback)
- Have rollback plan ready (test rollback procedure)
- Document everything (bugs found, fixes applied, decisions made)
**Goal**: Catch issues before production, deploy confidently, rollback quickly if needed.

# Release Coordinator
**Expertise**: Multi-repository release orchestration, dependency management, release order planning, and cross-repo validation.
## Core Capabilities
### 1. Release Dependency Management
**Understands and manages release order**:
**Dependency Types**:
```yaml
# Build-time dependencies
shared-lib: v2.0.0
└─ service-a: v3.1.0 (depends on shared-lib)
└─ service-b: v2.5.0 (depends on shared-lib)
# Runtime dependencies
auth-service: v1.8.0
└─ api-gateway: v2.0.0 (calls auth-service)
└─ frontend: v3.2.0 (calls api-gateway)
# Data schema dependencies
database-migrations: v10
└─ backend-services: v2.x (requires schema v10)
```
**Release Order Calculation**:
1. Build dependency graph
2. Topological sort for correct order
3. Identify circular dependencies (error)
4. Generate release waves:
- Wave 1: No dependencies (shared-lib, database-migrations)
- Wave 2: Depends on Wave 1 (service-a, service-b)
- Wave 3: Depends on Wave 2 (api-gateway)
- Wave 4: Depends on Wave 3 (frontend)
**Example Release Plan**:
```markdown
## Release Order for Product v3.0.0
### Wave 1 (Foundations)
- [ ] shared-lib: v2.0.0 → v3.0.0
- [ ] database-migrations: v9 → v10
### Wave 2 (Backend Services)
- [ ] auth-service: v1.8.0 → v2.0.0 (depends: shared-lib v3.0.0)
- [ ] user-service: v1.5.0 → v2.0.0 (depends: shared-lib v3.0.0, schema v10)
- [ ] order-service: v2.1.0 → v3.0.0 (depends: shared-lib v3.0.0, schema v10)
### Wave 3 (API Layer)
- [ ] api-gateway: v2.0.0 → v3.0.0 (depends: auth-service v2.0.0, user-service v2.0.0)
### Wave 4 (Frontend)
- [ ] web-app: v3.2.0 → v4.0.0 (depends: api-gateway v3.0.0)
- [ ] mobile-app: v2.5.0 → v3.0.0 (depends: api-gateway v3.0.0)
**Total Duration**: ~4 hours (waves run sequentially, repos in wave release in parallel)
```
### 2. Coordinated Release Strategies
**Lockstep Versioning** (all repos share version):
```yaml
Product: v3.0.0
Repositories:
- frontend: v3.0.0
- backend: v3.0.0
- api: v3.0.0
- shared: v3.0.0
Benefits:
- Simple to understand (one version = one product state)
- Clear API compatibility
- Easier rollback (revert entire product)
Challenges:
- Forces releases even if no changes
- High coordination overhead
- All teams must sync
Use When:
- Tight coupling between repos
- Small team (all work together)
- Breaking changes affect all repos
```
**Independent Versioning** (each repo has own version):
```yaml
Product: N/A
Repositories:
- frontend: v4.2.0
- backend: v2.8.0
- api: v3.1.0
- shared: v1.5.0
Benefits:
- Autonomous teams
- Release when ready
- No forced releases
Challenges:
- Complex compatibility matrix
- Hard to understand product state
- Testing combinations expensive
Use When:
- Loose coupling between repos
- Large team (independent squads)
- Frequent releases (daily/weekly)
```
**Umbrella Versioning** (product version + service versions):
```yaml
Product: v5.0.0 (umbrella)
├─ frontend: v4.2.0
├─ backend: v2.8.0
├─ api: v3.1.0
└─ shared: v1.5.0
Benefits:
- Clear product milestones (v5.0.0 = major release)
- Internal flexibility (services version independently)
- Best of both worlds
Challenges:
- Version matrix tracking
- Compatibility validation
Use When:
- Medium/large team
- Product-level milestones important
- Services evolve at different rates
```
### 3. Release Increment Creation
**Creates release increments spanning repos**:
**Single-Repo Release Increment**:
```
.specweave/increments/0020-backend-v2-release/
├── spec.md # What's being released
├── plan.md # Release execution plan
├── tasks.md # Release checklist
└── metadata.json # Repository: backend, target: v2.0.0
```
**Multi-Repo Release Increment**:
```
.specweave/increments/0025-product-v3-release/
├── spec.md # Product release overview
├── plan.md # Cross-repo orchestration
├── tasks.md # Multi-repo checklist
└── metadata.json # Repositories: [frontend, backend, api], umbrella: v3.0.0
```
**spec.md Example**:
```markdown
# Product v3.0.0 Release
## Release Type
Umbrella (coordinated major version)
## Repositories
- frontend: v3.2.0 → v4.0.0
- backend: v2.5.0 → v3.0.0
- api-gateway: v2.8.0 → v3.0.0
- shared-lib: v1.8.0 → v2.0.0
## Key Changes
- **Breaking**: API v2 → v3 (remove legacy endpoints)
- **Feature**: Real-time notifications (WebSocket)
- **Performance**: 50% faster API response time
## Release Waves
See plan.md for detailed orchestration
## Success Criteria
- [ ] All repos tagged (v3.0.0 umbrella)
- [ ] GitHub releases published
- [ ] Changelogs updated
- [ ] Packages published (NPM/Docker)
- [ ] Deployed to production
- [ ] Smoke tests passing
- [ ] DORA metrics: Lead time <1 day
```
### 4. Pre-Release Validation
**Cross-Repo Validation Checks**:
**Before Release**:
```bash
# 1. Version Compatibility
✓ shared-lib v2.0.0 compatible with service-a v3.0.0
✓ API contracts match between gateway and services
✗ Database schema v10 required by backend, but only v9 deployed
# 2. CI/CD Status
✓ All tests passing in all repos
✓ No pending code review comments
✗ Staging deployment failed for frontend
# 3. Dependency Versions
✓ All repos use shared-lib v2.0.0
✓ No conflicting dependency versions
✗ service-b still using deprecated shared-lib v1.5.0
# 4. Documentation
✓ CHANGELOG.md updated in all repos
✓ API docs regenerated
✗ Migration guide missing for breaking changes
# 5. Release Notes
✓ All commits since last release analyzed
✓ Breaking changes documented
✗ Missing highlights section
```
**Blocking Issues Report**:
```markdown
## Pre-Release Validation: BLOCKED ❌
### Blockers (MUST FIX)
1. **Database schema mismatch**:
- Backend requires schema v10
- Current production: schema v9
- Action: Deploy migration v9→v10 first
2. **Frontend staging failure**:
- Build error: Module 'api-client' not found
- Cause: API client v3.0.0 not published yet
- Action: Publish api-client first (Wave 1)
3. **Outdated dependency**:
- service-b using shared-lib v1.5.0 (deprecated)
- Required: shared-lib v2.0.0
- Action: Update service-b, test, then release
### Warnings (Should Fix)
1. Missing migration guide for API v2→v3
2. Incomplete release notes (missing highlights)
### Ready to Release
- auth-service v2.0.0 ✓
- user-service v2.0.0 ✓
- shared-lib v2.0.0 ✓
```
### 5. Release Execution Orchestration
**Automated Release Workflow**:
```bash
# Command
/specweave-release:execute 0025-product-v3-release
# Executes:
1. Pre-flight checks (validation)
2. Wave 1: Release shared-lib, database-migrations
- Wait for CI/CD success
- Verify package published
3. Wave 2: Release backend services (parallel)
- auth-service, user-service, order-service
- Wait for CI/CD success
4. Wave 3: Release api-gateway
- Wait for CI/CD success
5. Wave 4: Release frontend apps (parallel)
- web-app, mobile-app
- Wait for CI/CD success
6. Post-release validation
- Smoke tests
- Health checks
- Monitor for 1 hour
7. Update living docs
- Sync release-strategy.md
- Update version matrix
8. Notify stakeholders
- Slack/email: "Product v3.0.0 released"
- DORA metrics: Deployment frequency +1
```
### 6. Rollback Coordination
**Multi-Repo Rollback**:
```markdown
## Rollback Plan: Product v3.0.0 → v2.5.0
### Trigger
- Critical bug in api-gateway v3.0.0
- Affected: 20% of API calls failing
### Strategy
Reverse wave order (rollback dependencies first)
### Wave 1 (Rollback Frontend First)
- [ ] web-app: v4.0.0 → v3.2.0
- [ ] mobile-app: v3.0.0 → v2.5.0
### Wave 2 (Rollback API Layer)
- [ ] api-gateway: v3.0.0 → v2.8.0
### Wave 3 (Rollback Backend - Optional)
- [ ] Keep backend services at v3.0.0 (backward compatible)
- [ ] If needed: auth-service v2.0.0 → v1.8.0
### Wave 4 (Rollback Shared - Optional)
- [ ] Keep shared-lib at v2.0.0 (no bugs reported)
**Duration**: ~30 minutes (frontend + gateway only)
**Impact**: Minimal (API compatible with older clients)
```
### 7. Integration with SpecWeave Workflows
**Release Increment Lifecycle**:
```bash
# 1. Plan release
/specweave:increment "0025-product-v3-release"
# → Creates increment with multi-repo spec
# 2. Coordinate release (this skill activates)
# → Analyzes dependencies
# → Generates release waves
# → Creates validation checklist
# 3. Execute release
/specweave:do
# → Runs pre-flight checks
# → Executes wave-by-wave
# → Monitors progress
# 4. Complete release
/specweave:done 0025
# → Validates all repos released
# → Updates living docs
# → Syncs to GitHub/Jira/ADO
```
## When to Use This Skill
**Ask me to**:
1. **Coordinate multi-repo releases**:
- "Plan release for 5 microservices"
- "Coordinate backend and frontend release"
- "Create release plan spanning repos"
2. **Manage release dependencies**:
- "What order should we release repos?"
- "Which services depend on shared-lib?"
- "Calculate release waves"
3. **Validate pre-release**:
- "Check if we're ready to release"
- "Validate cross-repo compatibility"
- "Run pre-flight checks"
4. **Execute coordinated releases**:
- "Release product v3.0.0"
- "Execute umbrella release"
- "Orchestrate wave-by-wave deployment"
5. **Plan rollbacks**:
- "Create rollback plan for v3.0.0"
- "How to rollback if frontend fails?"
- "Reverse release order"
## Best Practices
**Dependency Management**:
- Document dependencies in release-strategy.md
- Automate dependency detection (package.json, imports)
- Version lock shared libraries (avoid floating versions)
**Release Windows**:
- Schedule releases during low-traffic periods
- Reserve rollback window (2x release duration)
- Communicate blackout periods (holidays, weekends)
**Validation Gates**:
- Never skip pre-flight checks (catch issues early)
- Automate validation (CI/CD pipelines)
- Manual approval gates for production
**Communication**:
- Notify all teams before release (1 day notice)
- Real-time status updates during release
- Post-release summary (DORA metrics, issues)
## Integration Points
**Release Strategy Advisor**:
- Reads release-strategy.md for approach
- Adapts coordination to strategy type
- Suggests improvements based on issues
**Version Aligner**:
- Uses version alignment rules
- Ensures compatibility across repos
- Validates semver constraints
**RC Manager**:
- Coordinates RC releases (pre-production)
- Validates RC before production
- Promotes RC to final release
**Living Docs**:
- Documents release history
- Updates version matrix
- Links to GitHub releases
## Example Workflows
### Microservices Coordinated Release
```bash
# 1. User initiates release
/specweave:increment "0030-product-v4-release"
# 2. Coordinator analyzes
# - 8 microservices detected
# - Dependency graph: shared-lib → services → gateway → frontend
# - Release strategy: Umbrella versioning
# 3. Generates plan
# - Wave 1: shared-lib v3.0.0, database-migrations v15
# - Wave 2: 6 backend services (parallel)
# - Wave 3: api-gateway v4.0.0
# - Wave 4: web + mobile apps (parallel)
# 4. Pre-flight validation
# - All tests passing ✓
# - No blocking dependencies ✓
# - Changelogs updated ✓
# - Ready to release ✓
# 5. Execute release
/specweave:do
# - Wave 1 released (15 min)
# - Wave 2 released (20 min, parallel)
# - Wave 3 released (10 min)
# - Wave 4 released (25 min, parallel)
# Total: 70 minutes
# 6. Post-release
# - All smoke tests passing ✓
# - DORA metrics updated ✓
# - Stakeholders notified ✓
# - Living docs synced ✓
```
### Monorepo Release (Lerna)
```bash
# 1. User initiates release
/specweave:increment "0035-monorepo-v2-release"
# 2. Coordinator analyzes
# - Lerna monorepo (12 packages)
# - Independent versioning
# - Changes detected in 4 packages
# 3. Generates plan
# - @myapp/shared: v1.5.0 → v1.6.0 (patch)
# - @myapp/api-client: v2.0.0 → v2.1.0 (minor)
# - @myapp/web: v3.2.0 → v3.3.0 (minor)
# - @myapp/mobile: v2.8.0 → v2.8.1 (patch)
# 4. Dependency order
# - shared → api-client → (web, mobile)
# 5. Execute release
npx lerna publish --conventional-commits
# - Shared released first
# - API client released second
# - Web and mobile released in parallel
```
## Commands Integration
Works with release commands:
- `/specweave-release:coordinate <increment>` - Plan multi-repo release
- `/specweave-release:validate <increment>` - Run pre-flight checks
- `/specweave-release:execute <increment>` - Execute coordinated release
- `/specweave-release:rollback <increment>` - Rollback coordinated release
## Dependencies
**Required**:
- Git (version tags)
- SpecWeave core (increment lifecycle)
- Release strategy documentation
**Optional**:
- GitHub CLI (`gh`) - GitHub releases
- NPM (`npm`) - NPM package detection
- Docker (`docker`) - Container image detection
- Kubernetes (`kubectl`) - Deployment verification
## Output
**Creates/Updates**:
- Release increment (spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md)
- Release waves documentation
- Pre-flight validation report
- Rollback plan
- Release history in living docs
**Provides**:
- Dependency graph visualization
- Release order (topological sort)
- Pre-flight validation status
- Real-time release progress
- Post-release metrics
---
**Remember**: Release coordination is critical for multi-repo architectures. Always:
- Understand dependencies before releasing
- Validate cross-repo compatibility
- Execute wave-by-wave (never "big bang" all at once)
- Have rollback plan ready
- Monitor for 1+ hour post-release
**Goal**: Safe, predictable, repeatable coordinated releases across multiple repositories.

# Release Strategy Advisor
**Expertise**: Release management strategy design, version alignment, brownfield release pattern detection, and living documentation of delivery processes.
## Core Capabilities
### 1. Brownfield Strategy Detection
**Analyzes existing projects to detect release patterns**:
**Git Analysis**:
- Version tags (v1.0.0, v2.1.0-rc.1, etc.)
- Tag patterns (semantic versioning, date-based, custom)
- Release branches (release/*, hotfix/*)
- Tag frequency and cadence
**CI/CD Detection**:
- GitHub Actions workflows (`.github/workflows/release.yml`)
- GitLab CI (`.gitlab-ci.yml`)
- Jenkins pipelines (`Jenkinsfile`)
- CircleCI config (`.circleci/config.yml`)
- Azure Pipelines (`azure-pipelines.yml`)
**Package Managers**:
- NPM: `package.json` (version, scripts: version/publish)
- Python: `setup.py`, `pyproject.toml`
- Java: `pom.xml`, `build.gradle`
- Go: `go.mod`
- Ruby: `*.gemspec`
- Rust: `Cargo.toml`
**Monorepo Tools**:
- Lerna (`lerna.json`)
- Nx (`nx.json`, `workspace.json`)
- Turborepo (`turbo.json`)
- Yarn Workspaces (`package.json` workspaces)
- Changesets (`.changeset/config.json`)
**Release Automation**:
- Semantic Release (`.releaserc`, `release.config.js`)
- Standard Version (`.versionrc`)
- Conventional Changelog
- Custom release scripts
### 2. Strategy Recommendation
**Suggests optimal strategy based on**:
**Project Architecture**:
- Single repository → Simple semver strategy
- Multi-repo (2-5 repos) → Coordinated or independent
- Multi-repo (5+ repos) → Umbrella versioning
- Monorepo → Workspace-based versioning
- Microservices → Service-level versioning
**Team Factors**:
- Small team (1-5) → Simple manual releases
- Medium team (5-20) → Semi-automated releases
- Large team (20+) → Fully automated releases
**Deployment Patterns**:
- Low frequency (<1/month) → Manual releases
- Medium frequency (1-4/month) → Semi-automated
- High frequency (daily/weekly) → Automated CI/CD
- Continuous deployment → Trunk-based + feature flags
**Dependencies**:
- No dependencies → Independent releases
- Weak coupling → Independent with coordination
- Strong coupling → Coordinated/lockstep releases
- Shared libraries → Umbrella versioning
### 3. Release Strategy Types
**Single Repo Strategies**:
```markdown
## Simple Semver
- One repository, one version
- Manual or automated bumps (patch/minor/major)
- GitHub releases + NPM/PyPI publish
- CHANGELOG.md maintenance
- Example: SpecWeave itself
```
**Multi-Repo Strategies**:
```markdown
## Coordinated Releases
- All repos share same version
- Release together (v1.0.0 across all)
- Synchronized CI/CD
- Example: Microservices with tight coupling
## Independent Releases
- Each repo has own version
- Release independently
- Example: service-a v2.1.0, service-b v1.5.0
## Umbrella Versioning
- Product version (v3.0.0) spans multiple repos
- Internal service versions tracked separately
- Example: "Product v3.0.0" contains:
- frontend v2.5.0
- backend v1.8.0
- api v2.1.0
```
**Monorepo Strategies**:
```markdown
## Workspace-Based
- Lerna/Nx/Turborepo manage versions
- Independent package versions
- Changesets for semantic release
- Example: Babel, Jest
## Fixed Versioning
- All packages share same version
- Lerna --fixed mode
- Example: Angular packages
```
**Microservices Strategies**:
```markdown
## Service-Level Versioning
- Each service has own semantic version
- API contract versioning separate
- Rolling releases (deploy services independently)
## Coordinated Major Releases
- Independent minor/patch versions
- Coordinated major versions (breaking changes)
- Example: v2.x (service-a v2.3.0, service-b v2.1.0)
```
### 4. Release Candidate (RC) Management
**RC Patterns**:
**Pre-Release Tags**:
- `v1.0.0-rc.1`, `v1.0.0-rc.2``v1.0.0` (final)
- `v2.0.0-beta.1``v2.0.0-rc.1``v2.0.0`
- `v3.0.0-alpha.1``v3.0.0-beta.1``v3.0.0-rc.1``v3.0.0`
**Channel-Based**:
- Stable (production)
- Beta (pre-release testing)
- Alpha (early adopters)
- Canary (1% traffic, feature flags)
**Environment-Based**:
- Dev → Staging (RC) → Production (final)
- Feature branches → RC branch → Main branch
**RC Workflow**:
1. Create RC: `v1.0.0-rc.1`
2. Deploy to staging/beta channel
3. Testing & bug fixes (creates rc.2, rc.3, ...)
4. Validation complete → Promote RC to v1.0.0
5. Deploy to production
### 5. Living Documentation
**Creates release-strategy.md in**:
**Cross-Project** (applies to entire system):
```
.specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
```
**Project-Specific** (multi-project mode):
```
.specweave/docs/internal/projects/{project-id}/delivery/release-strategy.md
```
**Document Structure**:
```markdown
# Release Strategy: {Product/Project Name}
## Current Strategy

### 6. Integration with Brownfield Analyzer
**Automatic Strategy Detection** (when brownfield analyzer runs):
```bash
# Brownfield analyzer detects:
# 1. Repository structure (single/multi/monorepo)
# 2. Existing version tags
# 3. CI/CD configurations
# 4. Package manager configs
# 5. Release automation tools
# Then invokes release-strategy-advisor:
# - Analyze detected patterns
# - Classify release strategy
# - Document findings in release-strategy.md
# - Suggest improvements if needed
```
**Detection Output Example**:
```markdown
## Detected Release Strategy
**Type**: Multi-repo Independent Releases
**Evidence**:
- 3 repositories detected:
- frontend: v2.5.0 (last release: 2025-01-10)
- backend: v1.8.0 (last release: 2025-01-08)
- shared: v1.2.0 (last release: 2024-12-15)
- Version alignment: None (independent)
- Release frequency: Weekly (frontend), Bi-weekly (backend), Monthly (shared)
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions with semantic-release
- Changelog: Conventional Changelog (auto-generated)
**Recommendations**:
1. Consider umbrella versioning for product releases
2. Add RC workflow for major versions
3. Align major versions for better API compatibility
```
## When to Use This Skill
**Ask me to**:
1. **Analyze existing release strategy**:
- "What's our current release strategy?"
- "Detect our versioning patterns"
- "Analyze how we're releasing across repos"
2. **Recommend optimal strategy**:
- "What release strategy should we use?"
- "How should we version our microservices?"
- "Should we use coordinated or independent releases?"
3. **Create release documentation**:
- "Document our release process"
- "Create release-strategy.md"
- "Write down our versioning approach"
4. **Plan multi-repo releases**:
- "How to coordinate releases across 5 repos?"
- "Should we align versions?"
- "What's the best RC workflow for us?"
5. **Brownfield integration**:
- "Understand our existing release process"
- "What release tools are we using?"
- "Map our current deployment pipeline"
## Best Practices
**Version Alignment**:
- Lockstep: Use for tightly coupled services (shared breaking changes)
- Independent: Use for loosely coupled services (autonomous teams)
- Umbrella: Use for products with multiple independent modules
**RC Workflows**:
- Always use RC for major versions (breaking changes)
- Consider RC for minor versions if critical features
- Skip RC for patch versions (hotfixes) unless high risk
**Changelog Discipline**:
- Automate changelog generation (conventional commits)
- Manual curation for major releases (highlight key features)
- Link to GitHub issues/PRs for traceability
**Release Frequency**:
- High-risk changes: RC → staging → production (1-2 weeks)
- Low-risk changes: Direct to production (daily/weekly)
- Balance speed with stability (DORA metrics)
## Integration Points
**Brownfield Analyzer**:
- Detects existing patterns automatically
- Feeds data to release-strategy-advisor
- Creates baseline documentation
**Living Docs**:
- Stores strategy in delivery/ folder
- Updates on strategy changes
- Links to ADRs for decisions
**Multi-Project**:
- Different strategies per project
- Cross-project release coordination
- Shared release templates
**Increment Lifecycle**:
- Release increments span repositories
- Coordinated planning & execution
- Automated living docs sync
## Example Workflows
### Single-Repo Project (SpecWeave)
```bash
# 1. User asks for release strategy
"What release strategy should SpecWeave use?"
# 2. Advisor analyzes:
# - Single repo (GitHub: anton-abyzov/specweave)
# - NPM package
# - GitHub Actions for releases
# - Existing semver tags
# 3. Recommends:
# - Simple semver strategy
# - Automated releases via GitHub Actions
# - CHANGELOG.md maintenance
# - RC for major versions only
# 4. Creates:
# .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
```
### Multi-Repo Microservices
```bash
# 1. User asks for strategy
"How should we release our 5 microservices?"
# 2. Advisor analyzes:
# - 5 repos detected (user-service, order-service, ...)
# - Tight coupling (shared API contracts)
# - High deployment frequency (daily)
# 3. Recommends:
# - Umbrella versioning (product v1.0.0)
# - Independent service versions (service-a v2.3.0)
# - RC workflow for product major versions
# - Rolling releases for services
# 4. Creates:
# .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
# - Umbrella version matrix
# - Service version independence
# - RC workflow for product releases
```
### Monorepo (Lerna/Nx)
```bash
# 1. User asks for strategy
"How to version our Lerna monorepo?"
# 2. Advisor analyzes:
# - Monorepo with 12 packages
# - Lerna detected (lerna.json)
# - Changesets for versioning
# - Independent package releases
# 3. Recommends:
# - Independent versioning (Lerna independent mode)
# - Changesets for semantic release
# - Automated changelogs per package
# - Fixed versioning for core packages
# 4. Creates:
# .specweave/docs/internal/delivery/release-strategy.md
# - Lerna configuration explanation
# - Changesets workflow
# - Package grouping strategy
```
## Commands Integration
Works with release management commands:
- `/specweave-release:init` - Analyze & recommend strategy
- `/specweave-release:align` - Align versions across repos
- `/specweave-release:rc` - Create release candidate
- `/specweave-release:publish` - Execute release
## Dependencies

# Version Aligner
**Expertise**: Multi-repository version alignment, semantic versioning, version conflict detection, and compatibility validation.
## Core Capabilities
### 1. Semantic Versioning (Semver)
**Enforces semver rules**:
**Format**: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-PRERELEASE][+BUILD]`
**Version Bump Rules**:
```yaml
MAJOR (1.0.0 → 2.0.0):
- Breaking changes (incompatible API)
- Remove features
- Change behavior of existing features
Examples:
- Remove deprecated endpoints
- Change function signatures
- Modify data formats
MINOR (1.0.0 → 1.1.0):
- New features (backward compatible)
- Add endpoints/functions
- Deprecate (but don't remove) features
Examples:
- Add new API endpoints
- Add optional parameters
- New module exports
PATCH (1.0.0 → 1.0.1):
- Bug fixes (no API changes)
- Performance improvements
- Documentation updates
Examples:
- Fix null pointer error
- Optimize database query
- Update README
```
**Pre-Release Tags**:
```yaml
# Alpha: Early development (unstable)
1.0.0-alpha.1, 1.0.0-alpha.2, ...
# Beta: Feature complete (testing)
1.0.0-beta.1, 1.0.0-beta.2, ...
# RC: Release candidate (near production)
1.0.0-rc.1, 1.0.0-rc.2, ...
# Final: Production release
1.0.0
```
### 2. Version Alignment Strategies
**Lockstep Versioning** (all repos share version):
```yaml
Strategy: Lockstep
Current State:
- frontend: v2.5.0
- backend: v2.5.0
- api: v2.5.0
- shared: v2.5.0
Proposed Bump: MAJOR (breaking change in API)
New State:
- frontend: v3.0.0
- backend: v3.0.0
- api: v3.0.0
- shared: v3.0.0
Rules:
- ALL repos MUST bump together
- Use highest bump type (if any repo needs MAJOR, all bump MAJOR)
- Version always stays in sync
```
**Independent Versioning** (each repo has own version):
```yaml
Strategy: Independent
Current State:
- frontend: v4.2.0
- backend: v2.8.0
- api: v3.1.0
- shared: v1.5.0
Changes:
- frontend: Bug fix → PATCH bump
- backend: New feature → MINOR bump
- api: No changes → No bump
- shared: Breaking change → MAJOR bump
New State:
- frontend: v4.2.1 (patch)
- backend: v2.9.0 (minor)
- api: v3.1.0 (unchanged)
- shared: v2.0.0 (major)
Rules:
- Each repo versions independently
- Only bump repos with changes
- Validate compatibility constraints
```
**Umbrella Versioning** (product version + service versions):
```yaml
Strategy: Umbrella
Product: v5.0.0 (umbrella)
Version Matrix:
- frontend: v4.2.0
- backend: v2.8.0
- api: v3.1.0
- shared: v1.5.0
Changes for Product v6.0.0:
- frontend: v4.2.0 → v5.0.0 (major redesign)
- backend: v2.8.0 → v2.9.0 (new endpoints)
- api: v3.1.0 → v4.0.0 (breaking changes)
- shared: v1.5.0 → v1.5.0 (no changes)
New Product: v6.0.0 (umbrella)
- frontend: v5.0.0
- backend: v2.9.0
- api: v4.0.0
- shared: v1.5.0
Rules:
- Product version bumps for milestones
- Services version independently
- Track matrix in release-strategy.md
```
### 3. Conventional Commits Analysis
**Analyzes commits to suggest version bumps**:
**Commit Patterns**:
```bash
# MAJOR (breaking change)
feat!: remove legacy authentication
BREAKING CHANGE: Old auth endpoints removed
# MINOR (new feature)
feat: add real-time notifications
feat(api): add WebSocket support
# PATCH (bug fix)
fix: prevent null pointer in user service
fix(ui): correct button alignment
perf: optimize database queries
# No version bump
docs: update README
chore: upgrade dependencies
style: format code
refactor: extract helper function
test: add unit tests
```
**Version Bump Calculation**:
```bash
# Example commit history
git log v2.5.0..HEAD --oneline
feat!: remove deprecated endpoints # BREAKING
feat: add dark mode toggle # FEATURE
fix: prevent crash on logout # BUGFIX
docs: update API documentation # NO BUMP
chore: upgrade React to v18 # NO BUMP
# Analysis
Breaking changes: 1 → MAJOR bump (v2.5.0 → v3.0.0)
Features: 1 → Overridden by MAJOR
Bug fixes: 1 → Overridden by MAJOR
# Suggested: v2.5.0 → v3.0.0
```
### 4. Version Conflict Detection
**Detects incompatible versions**:
**Dependency Version Conflicts**:
```yaml
# Scenario: Two services depend on different versions of shared-lib
service-a:
package.json: "shared-lib": "^2.0.0"
Currently using: v2.0.0 ✓
service-b:
package.json: "shared-lib": "^1.5.0"
Currently using: v1.8.0 ✗
Conflict:
- service-a requires shared-lib v2.x (breaking changes)
- service-b still on shared-lib v1.x (outdated)
- Cannot release until service-b upgrades
Resolution:
1. Update service-b to "shared-lib": "^2.0.0"
2. Test service-b with shared-lib v2.0.0
3. Release service-b
4. Then proceed with coordinated release
```
**API Contract Version Conflicts**:
```yaml
# Scenario: Frontend expects API v3, but backend provides v2
frontend:
api-client: v3.0.0
Expects: POST /api/v3/users (new endpoint)
backend:
Current version: v2.8.0
Provides: POST /api/v2/users (old endpoint)
Conflict:
- Frontend expects v3 API
- Backend hasn't released v3 yet
- Deployment will fail
Resolution:
1. Release backend v3.0.0 first (Wave 1)
2. Verify API v3 endpoints work
3. Then release frontend v5.0.0 (Wave 2)
```
### 5. Compatibility Validation
**Validates cross-repo compatibility**:
**Semver Range Checking**:
```typescript
// Example: Validate service-a can work with shared-lib versions
// service-a/package.json
{
"dependencies": {
"shared-lib": "^2.0.0" // Allows 2.0.0 to <3.0.0
}
}
// Validation
shared-lib v2.0.0 Compatible
shared-lib v2.5.0 Compatible
shared-lib v2.9.9 Compatible
shared-lib v3.0.0 Incompatible (MAJOR change)
```
**API Contract Validation**:
```yaml
# OpenAPI spec comparison
api-gateway v2.8.0 (current):
POST /api/v2/users:
parameters:
- name: email (required)
- name: password (required)
api-gateway v3.0.0 (proposed):
POST /api/v3/users:
parameters:
- name: email (required)
- name: password (required)
- name: phoneNumber (optional) # NEW (backward compatible)
Compatibility:
- New optional field → Minor version bump (v2.8.0 → v2.9.0) ✗
- But route changed (/v2 → /v3) → Major version bump (v3.0.0) ✓
- Verdict: v3.0.0 is correct ✓
```
### 6. Version Matrix Management
**Tracks versions for umbrella releases**:
**Version Matrix Document**:
```markdown
# Product Version Matrix

```
### 7. Automated Version Bumping
**Suggests and executes version bumps**:
**Interactive Version Bump**:
```bash
# Command
/specweave-release:align
# Interactive prompts
? Which repositories to align?
◉ frontend (v4.2.0)
◉ backend (v2.8.0)
◉ api-gateway (v3.1.0)
◯ shared-lib (v2.0.0) - no changes
? Alignment strategy?
◯ Lockstep (all repos same version)
◉ Independent (bump changed repos only)
◯ Umbrella (product milestone)
# Analysis
Analyzing conventional commits since last release...
frontend (v4.2.0):
- 12 commits since v4.2.0
- Breaking changes: 1
- Features: 3
- Bug fixes: 5
Suggested: v5.0.0 (MAJOR)
backend (v2.8.0):
- 8 commits since v2.8.0
- Features: 2
- Bug fixes: 3
Suggested: v2.9.0 (MINOR)
api-gateway (v3.1.0):
- 15 commits since v3.1.0
- Breaking changes: 2
- Features: 4
Suggested: v4.0.0 (MAJOR)
? Confirm version bumps?
◉ frontend: v4.2.0 → v5.0.0
◉ backend: v2.8.0 → v2.9.0
◉ api-gateway: v3.1.0 → v4.0.0
[Yes / No / Edit]
```
**Automated Execution**:
```bash
# Updates package.json
npm version major # frontend
npm version minor # backend
npm version major # api-gateway
# Creates git tags
git tag v5.0.0 (frontend)
git tag v2.9.0 (backend)
git tag v4.0.0 (api-gateway)
# Updates CHANGELOG.md
# - Extracts commits since last tag
# - Groups by type (breaking, features, fixes)
# - Generates markdown
# Updates version matrix
# - Adds new product version row
# - Links to service versions
# - Documents breaking changes
```
## When to Use This Skill
**Ask me to**:
1. **Align versions across repos**:
- "Align versions for all microservices"
- "Sync versions before release"
- "What versions should we bump to?"
2. **Detect version conflicts**:
- "Check for version conflicts"
- "Validate cross-repo compatibility"
- "Are our dependencies aligned?"
3. **Suggest version bumps**:
- "What version should we bump to?"
- "Analyze commits for version bump"
- "Calculate semver from commits"
4. **Manage version matrices**:
- "Update version matrix"
- "Show compatibility matrix"
- "Track umbrella version history"
5. **Validate compatibility**:
- "Can frontend v5.0.0 work with backend v2.8.0?"
- "Check API contract compatibility"
- "Validate dependency ranges"
## Best Practices
**Semver Discipline**:
- Never skip versions (v1.0.0 → v1.1.0, not v1.0.0 → v1.2.0)
- Use pre-release tags for testing (v1.0.0-rc.1)
- Document breaking changes clearly
**Dependency Management**:
- Pin major versions ("^2.0.0" not "*")
- Update dependencies regularly (avoid drift)
- Test compatibility before bumping
**Version Matrix**:
- Update after every product release
- Link to ADRs for breaking changes
- Track deprecation timelines
**Automation**:
- Use conventional commits (enables automated analysis)
- Automate changelog generation
- Validate versions in CI/CD
## Integration Points
**Release Strategy Advisor**:
- Reads alignment strategy from release-strategy.md
- Adapts to lockstep/independent/umbrella
**Release Coordinator**:
- Provides version bump suggestions
- Validates compatibility before release
- Updates version matrix post-release
**RC Manager**:
- Handles pre-release version tags
- Promotes RC to final version
- Tracks RC version history
**Brownfield Analyzer**:
- Detects existing version patterns
- Extracts current version matrix
- Suggests alignment improvements
## Example Workflows
### Independent Versioning
```bash
# 1. Analyze changes
/specweave-release:align
# 2. Review suggested bumps
Frontend v4.2.0 → v5.0.0 (breaking changes)
Backend v2.8.0 → v2.9.0 (new features)
API v3.1.0 → v3.1.1 (bug fixes only)
# 3. Validate compatibility
✓ Frontend v5.0.0 compatible with Backend v2.8.0+
✓ Backend v2.9.0 compatible with API v3.1.0+
✗ Shared-lib v1.5.0 outdated (requires v2.0.0)
# 4. Fix blocking issues
Update Backend to use shared-lib v2.0.0
# 5. Execute version bumps
✓ All versions aligned
✓ Tags created
✓ Changelogs updated
```
### Umbrella Versioning
```bash
# 1. Create product release
/specweave:increment "0040-product-v6-release"
# 2. Analyze component versions
Current umbrella: v5.0.0
Proposed: v6.0.0 (major milestone)
# 3. Review version matrix
Frontend: v4.2.0 → v5.0.0 (redesign)
Backend: v2.8.0 → v2.9.0 (new API)
API: v3.1.0 → v4.0.0 (breaking changes)
Shared: v1.5.0 → v2.0.0 (breaking changes)
# 4. Validate umbrella bump
Breaking changes detected → MAJOR bump correct ✓
Product v5.0.0 → v6.0.0 ✓
# 5. Update version matrix
.specweave/docs/internal/delivery/version-matrix.md updated ✓
```
