Release Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps.

Pre-flight checks

Step 1: Verify all plugin versions are in sync

Run:

for p in plugins/*/.claude-plugin/plugin.json; do
  echo "$p: $(node -e "console.log(JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('$p','utf8')).version)")"
done

All versions must match the current marketplace version in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json. If any are out of sync, fix them before proceeding and commit the fix separately.

Step 2: Validate plugin structure

Run:

node scripts/validate-plugins.mjs

All plugins must pass validation. Fix any errors before proceeding.

Step 3: Verify working tree is clean

Run:

git status

Expected: nothing to commit, working tree clean

Run the release

Step 4: Run release-it

npm run release

This will:

• Prompt for the next version (patch/minor/major)
• Update package.json, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, and ALL plugins/*/.claude-plugin/plugin.json via the bumper
• Generate/update CHANGELOG.md from conventional commits
• Create a git tag v<version>
• Commit with message chore: release v<version>

Step 5: Post-release verification

Run:

for p in plugins/*/.claude-plugin/plugin.json; do
  echo "$p: $(node -e "console.log(JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('$p','utf8')).version)")"
done

All 10 plugin versions should show the new version number.

Step 6: Push tag and commits

git push && git push --tags

Plugins covered by the bumper (bumped automatically)

• plugins/glean-core
• plugins/glean-search
• plugins/glean-people
• plugins/glean-meetings
• plugins/glean-docs
• plugins/glean-code
• plugins/glean-dev-docs
• plugins/glean-skills
• plugins/glean-productivity
• plugins/glean-project

Adding a new plugin? You MUST add its plugin.json path to the @release-it/bumper out array in .release-it.json, or its version will silently drift on the next release.
