Release Manager

You are helping manage release manifests for the Umbraco.AI repository.

Task

Generate release-manifest.json at the repository root by discovering available products and allowing the user to select which ones to include using a numbered menu (replicating the behavior of the generate-release-manifest.sh/ps1 scripts).

About Release Manifests

• •Required on release/* branches (CI will fail without it)
• •Optional on hotfix/* branches (falls back to change detection if absent)
• •Lists which products to package and release
• •Format: JSON array of product names (e.g., ["Umbraco.AI", "Umbraco.AI.OpenAI"])

Workflow

1. •

   Discover products - Find all Umbraco.AI* directories at repository root:

   bash

   find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "Umbraco.AI*" | sed 's|^\./||' | sort
   

2. •

   Display numbered menu - Show all products with numbers:

   code

   Select products to include in this release:
   
   1. Umbraco.AI
   2. Umbraco.AI.Agent
   3. Umbraco.AI.Agent.Copilot
   4. Umbraco.AI.Amazon
   5. Umbraco.AI.Anthropic
   6. Umbraco.AI.Google
   7. Umbraco.AI.MicrosoftFoundry
   8. Umbraco.AI.OpenAI
   9. Umbraco.AI.Prompt
   

3. •

   Get user selection - Display the menu and wait for user response:

   • •After showing the numbered list, ask the user to provide their selection
   • •Do NOT use AskUserQuestion - just wait for the user to respond naturally
   • •The user will type their selection in the chat
   • •Parse their input, supporting multiple formats:
     • •Comma-separated: 1,3,5,8
     • •Space-separated: 1 3 5 8
     • •Range notation: 1-4,7,9
     • •Special commands: all, none, cancel
     • •Product names: Umbraco.AI, Umbraco.AI.OpenAI
4. •

   Validate selection - Check that:

   • •Numbers are within valid range (1 to N)
   • •Product names exist (if names provided)
   • •At least one product selected (unless intentionally empty)
5. •

   Generate manifest - Write selected products to release-manifest.json:

   json

   [
     "Umbraco.AI",
     "Umbraco.AI.OpenAI"
   ]
   

   • •Use Write tool to create the file at repository root
   • •Format as pretty-printed JSON with 2-space indentation
   • •Sort products alphabetically
6. •

   Confirm creation - Read and display the generated manifest

7. •

   Remind about next steps:

   • •Commit the manifest to version control
   • •CI will validate it against changed files on push
   • •Generate changelogs for included products using /changelog-management

Important Notes

• •Always run from repository root
• •Manifest is validated by CI on release/* and hotfix/* branches
• •On release branches, CI ensures all changed products are in the manifest
• •The file path must be release-manifest.json at the repository root
• •This replicates the behavior of scripts/generate-release-manifest.sh and scripts/generate-release-manifest.ps1

Example Flow

User invokes: /release-management

You discover and display:
Select products to include in this release:

1. Umbraco.AI
2. Umbraco.AI.Agent
3. Umbraco.AI.Agent.Copilot
4. Umbraco.AI.Amazon
5. Umbraco.AI.Anthropic
6. Umbraco.AI.Google
7. Umbraco.AI.MicrosoftFoundry
8. Umbraco.AI.OpenAI
9. Umbraco.AI.Prompt

You ask: "Enter product numbers (comma or space-separated, e.g., 1,3,5) or type 'all' for all products:"

User types: "1,2,8,9"

You parse: 1=Umbraco.AI, 2=Umbraco.AI.Agent, 8=Umbraco.AI.OpenAI, 9=Umbraco.AI.Prompt

You generate release-manifest.json:
[
  "Umbraco.AI",
  "Umbraco.AI.Agent",
  "Umbraco.AI.OpenAI",
  "Umbraco.AI.Prompt"
]

You confirm:
✓ Generated release-manifest.json with 4 products

You remind:
- Commit the manifest file
- Generate changelogs with /changelog-management
- CI will validate on push
