Release Patterns Skill

Purpose

Ensure consistent PR creation, CI/CD validation, and release coordination following rebase-first workflow.

When This Skill Applies

• •Creating pull requests
• •Running pre-PR validation
• •Checking CI/CD status
• •Coordinating merge timing

Pre-PR Checklist (MANDATORY)

Before creating any PR:

• • Branch name: {TICKET_PREFIX}-{number}-{description}
• • Commits follow: type(scope): description [{TICKET_PREFIX}-XXX]
• • Rebased on latest main: git fetch origin && git rebase origin/{MAIN_BRANCH}
• • CI passes locally: {CI_VALIDATE_COMMAND}

PR Creation

gh pr create \
  --title "feat(scope): description [{TICKET_PREFIX}-XXX]" \
  --body "## Summary
Implements feature as specified in {TICKET_PREFIX}-XXX.

## Changes
- Change 1
- Change 2

## Testing
- CI passes
- Manual testing completed"

Merge Strategy

ONLY use rebase merge:

# CORRECT
gh pr merge --rebase --delete-branch

# NEVER
gh pr merge --squash   # Loses history
gh pr merge --merge    # Creates merge commits
