DO NOT USE FOR: running evals (use waza), writing skills (use skill-authoring), CI/CD pipeline changes (edit workflow files directly). metadata: author: spboyer version: "1.0" --- # azd Extension Publish > Automate version bumps, changelog updates, and PR creation for waza azd extension releases. ## When to Use - Preparing a new release of the waza azd extension - Bumping the version number (major, minor, or patch) - Updating the changelog with changes since last release - Creating a release PR for review ## Workflow Follow these steps **in order**. Ask the user for input at each decision point. ### Step 1: Gather Changes and Update Changelog Get the current version from `version.txt` and `extension.yaml`, then collect commits since the last release: ```bash cat version.txt # Find the latest azd extension version tags git tag --list 'azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_*' --sort=-v:refname | head -5 # Get commits since last azd extension tag last_tag=$(git tag --list 'azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_*' --sort=-v:refname | head -1) git log "${last_tag}..HEAD" --oneline --no-decorate ``` If `version.txt` and `extension.yaml` differ, flag it to the user before proceeding. Summarize the changes grouped by type: - **Added** — `feat:` commits - **Fixed** — `fix:` commits - **Changed** — `refactor:`, `chore:`, `docs:` commits - **Removed** — any removal-related commits Present the summary to the user for review. Then update `CHANGELOG.md`. The changelog follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) format. Perform these updates (using a placeholder version `X.Y.Z` — the actual version is determined in Step 2): 1. **Move Unreleased content**: Move any items currently under `## [Unreleased]` into a staging area. If `[Unreleased]` is empty, populate from the git log summary gathered above. 2. **Populate from commits**: Prepare entries grouped under `### Added`, `### Fixed`, `### Changed` as appropriate based on the commits gathered above. Hold these changelog entries — the new version section header and comparison links will be finalized after the version is determined in Step 2. ### Step 2: Determine Version Based on the changes gathered in Step 1, **recommend** a version bump type using standard semver semantics: - **major** — Breaking changes, removals of public API (`feat!:`, `BREAKING CHANGE:`) → `(MAJOR+1).0.0` - **minor** — New features, backward compatible (`feat:`) → `MAJOR.(MINOR+1).0` - **patch** — Bug fixes, docs, refactors, chores (`fix:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, `chore:`) → `MAJOR.MINOR.(PATCH+1)` Present the recommendation with rationale (e.g., "I see 3 `feat:` commits and no breaking changes — recommending a **minor** bump"). **ASK THE USER** to confirm the recommended bump or choose a different one. Compute the new version and confirm with the user before proceeding. Then finalize the changelog: 1. **Create new version section**: Insert a new section below `## [Unreleased]` with today's date: ```markdown ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD ``` 2. **Add the prepared entries** from Step 1 under the new version section. 3. **Update comparison links** at the bottom of the file: ```markdown [Unreleased]: https://github.com/microsoft/waza/compare/azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_X.Y.Z...HEAD [X.Y.Z]: https://github.com/microsoft/waza/compare/azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_PREVIOUS...azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_X.Y.Z ``` 4. **Clear the Unreleased section**: Leave `## [Unreleased]` with empty subsections or blank. ### Step 3: Update Version Files Update these files with the new version: 1. **`version.txt`** — Replace contents with new version string 2. **`extension.yaml`** — Update the `version:` field ### Step 4: Review Changes Show the user a summary of all changes made: - New version number - Files modified: `version.txt`, `extension.yaml`, `CHANGELOG.md` - Show the diff with `git diff` ### Step 5: Ask About PR Creation **ASK THE USER**: Should I create a PR with these changes? If **yes**: 1. Create a feature branch: ```bash git checkout -b release/v{VERSION} ``` 2. Stage and commit all changes: ```bash git add version.txt extension.yaml CHANGELOG.md git commit -m "chore: Prepare release v{VERSION}" ``` 3. Push the branch: ```bash git push origin release/v{VERSION} ``` 4. Create a PR using the GitHub CLI: ```bash gh pr create \ --title "Release v{VERSION}" \ --body "## Release v{VERSION} ### Changes {changelog entries for this version} ### Checklist - [ ] Version bumped in version.txt and extension.yaml - [ ] CHANGELOG.md updated - [ ] CI passes - [ ] Ready to publish via 'Publish azd Extension' workflow" \ --base main \ --head release/v{VERSION} ``` If **no**: - Leave the changes uncommitted in the working tree - Inform the user they can review and commit manually ## File Reference | File | Purpose | What Gets Updated | |------|---------|-------------------| | `version.txt` | Single source of version truth | New semver version string | | `extension.yaml` | azd extension manifest | `version:` field | | `CHANGELOG.md` | Human-readable change history | New version section with entries | ## Important Notes - Always use **conventional commit** prefixes (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`) when interpreting git history - The changelog format must follow [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) - Version numbering must follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) - The PR branch naming convention is `release/v{VERSION}` - After the PR is merged, the user should trigger the **Publish azd Extension** workflow (`azd-ext-release.yml`) to build, pack, and publish the extension

DO NOT USE FOR: running evals (use waza), writing skills (use skill-authoring), CI/CD pipeline changes (edit workflow files directly). metadata: author: spboyer version: "1.0" --- # azd Extension Publish > Automate version bumps, changelog updates, and PR creation for waza azd extension releases. ## When to Use - Preparing a new release of the waza azd extension - Bumping the version number (major, minor, or patch) - Updating the changelog with changes since last release - Creating a release PR for review ## Workflow Follow these steps **in order**. Ask the user for input at each decision point. ### Step 1: Gather Changes and Update Changelog Get the current version from `version.txt` and `extension.yaml`, then collect commits since the last release: ```bash cat version.txt # Find the latest azd extension version tags git tag --list 'azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_*' --sort=-v:refname | head -5 # Get commits since last azd extension tag last_tag=$(git tag --list 'azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_*' --sort=-v:refname | head -1) git log "${last_tag}..HEAD" --oneline --no-decorate ``` If `version.txt` and `extension.yaml` differ, flag it to the user before proceeding. Summarize the changes grouped by type: - **Added** — `feat:` commits - **Fixed** — `fix:` commits - **Changed** — `refactor:`, `chore:`, `docs:` commits - **Removed** — any removal-related commits Present the summary to the user for review. Then update `CHANGELOG.md`. The changelog follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) format. Perform these updates (using a placeholder version `X.Y.Z` — the actual version is determined in Step 2): 1. **Move Unreleased content**: Move any items currently under `## [Unreleased]` into a staging area. If `[Unreleased]` is empty, populate from the git log summary gathered above. 2. **Populate from commits**: Prepare entries grouped under `### Added`, `### Fixed`, `### Changed` as appropriate based on the commits gathered above. Hold these changelog entries — the new version section header and comparison links will be finalized after the version is determined in Step 2. ### Step 2: Determine Version Based on the changes gathered in Step 1, **recommend** a version bump type using standard semver semantics: - **major** — Breaking changes, removals of public API (`feat!:`, `BREAKING CHANGE:`) → `(MAJOR+1).0.0` - **minor** — New features, backward compatible (`feat:`) → `MAJOR.(MINOR+1).0` - **patch** — Bug fixes, docs, refactors, chores (`fix:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, `chore:`) → `MAJOR.MINOR.(PATCH+1)` Present the recommendation with rationale (e.g., "I see 3 `feat:` commits and no breaking changes — recommending a **minor** bump"). **ASK THE USER** to confirm the recommended bump or choose a different one. Compute the new version and confirm with the user before proceeding. Then finalize the changelog: 1. **Create new version section**: Insert a new section below `## [Unreleased]` with today's date: ```markdown ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD ``` 2. **Add the prepared entries** from Step 1 under the new version section. 3. **Update comparison links** at the bottom of the file: ```markdown [Unreleased]: https://github.com/microsoft/waza/compare/azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_X.Y.Z...HEAD [X.Y.Z]: https://github.com/microsoft/waza/compare/azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_PREVIOUS...azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_X.Y.Z ``` 4. **Clear the Unreleased section**: Leave `## [Unreleased]` with empty subsections or blank. ### Step 3: Update Version Files Update these files with the new version: 1. **`version.txt`** — Replace contents with new version string 2. **`extension.yaml`** — Update the `version:` field ### Step 4: Review Changes Show the user a summary of all changes made: - New version number - Files modified: `version.txt`, `extension.yaml`, `CHANGELOG.md` - Show the diff with `git diff` ### Step 5: Ask About PR Creation **ASK THE USER**: Should I create a PR with these changes? If **yes**: 1. Create a feature branch: ```bash git checkout -b release/v{VERSION} ``` 2. Stage and commit all changes: ```bash git add version.txt extension.yaml CHANGELOG.md git commit -m "chore: Prepare release v{VERSION}" ``` 3. Push the branch: ```bash git push origin release/v{VERSION} ``` 4. Create a PR using the GitHub CLI: ```bash gh pr create \ --title "Release v{VERSION}" \ --body "## Release v{VERSION} ### Changes {changelog entries for this version} ### Checklist - [ ] Version bumped in version.txt and extension.yaml - [ ] CHANGELOG.md updated - [ ] CI passes - [ ] Ready to publish via 'Publish azd Extension' workflow" \ --base main \ --head release/v{VERSION} ``` If **no**: - Leave the changes uncommitted in the working tree - Inform the user they can review and commit manually ## File Reference | File | Purpose | What Gets Updated | |------|---------|-------------------| | `version.txt` | Single source of version truth | New semver version string | | `extension.yaml` | azd extension manifest | `version:` field | | `CHANGELOG.md` | Human-readable change history | New version section with entries | ## Important Notes - Always use **conventional commit** prefixes (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`) when interpreting git history - The changelog format must follow [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) - Version numbering must follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) - The PR branch naming convention is `release/v{VERSION}` - After the PR is merged, the user should trigger the **Publish azd Extension** workflow (`azd-ext-release.yml`) to build, pack, and publish the extension

If `[Unreleased]` is empty, populate from the git log summary gathered above. 2. **Populate from commits**: Prepare entries grouped under `### Added`, `### Fixed`, `### Changed` as appropriate based on the commits gathered above. Hold these changelog entries — the new version section header and comparison links will be finalized after the version is determined in Step 2. ### Step 2: Determine Version Based on the changes gathered in Step 1, **recommend** a version bump type using standard semver semantics: - **major** — Breaking changes, removals of public API (`feat!:`, `BREAKING CHANGE:`) → `(MAJOR+1).0.0` - **minor** — New features, backward compatible (`feat:`) → `MAJOR.(MINOR+1).0` - **patch** — Bug fixes, docs, refactors, chores (`fix:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, `chore:`) → `MAJOR.MINOR.(PATCH+1)` Present the recommendation with rationale (e.g., "I see 3 `feat:` commits and no breaking changes — recommending a **minor** bump"). **ASK THE USER** to confirm the recommended bump or choose a different one. Compute the new version and confirm with the user before proceeding. Then finalize the changelog: 1. **Create new version section**: Insert a new section below `## [Unreleased]` with today's date: ```markdown ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD ``` 2. **Add the prepared entries** from Step 1 under the new version section. 3. **Update comparison links** at the bottom of the file: ```markdown [Unreleased]: https://github.com/microsoft/waza/compare/azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_X.Y.Z...HEAD [X.Y.Z]: https://github.com/microsoft/waza/compare/azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_PREVIOUS...azd-ext-microsoft-azd-waza_X.Y.Z ``` 4. **Clear the Unreleased section**: Leave `## [Unreleased]` with empty subsections or blank. ### Step 3: Update Version Files Update these files with the new version: 1. **`version.txt`** — Replace contents with new version string 2. **`extension.yaml`** — Update the `version:` field ### Step 4: Review Changes Show the user a summary of all changes made: - New version number - Files modified: `version.txt`, `extension.yaml`, `CHANGELOG.md` - Show the diff with `git diff` ### Step 5: Ask About PR Creation **ASK THE USER**: Should I create a PR with these changes? If **yes**: 1. Create a feature branch: ```bash git checkout -b release/v{VERSION} ``` 2. Stage and commit all changes: ```bash git add version.txt extension.yaml CHANGELOG.md git commit -m "chore: Prepare release v{VERSION}" ``` 3. Push the branch: ```bash git push origin release/v{VERSION} ``` 4. Create a PR using the GitHub CLI: ```bash gh pr create \ --title "Release v{VERSION}" \ --body "## Release v{VERSION} ### Changes {changelog entries for this version} ### Checklist - [ ] Version bumped in version.txt and extension.yaml - [ ] CHANGELOG.md updated - [ ] CI passes - [ ] Ready to publish via 'Publish azd Extension' workflow" \ --base main \ --head release/v{VERSION} ``` If **no**: - Leave the changes uncommitted in the working tree - Inform the user they can review and commit manually ## File Reference | File | Purpose | What Gets Updated | |------|---------|-------------------| | `version.txt` | Single source of version truth | New semver version string | | `extension.yaml` | azd extension manifest | `version:` field | | `CHANGELOG.md` | Human-readable change history | New version section with entries | ## Important Notes - Always use **conventional commit** prefixes (`feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`) when interpreting git history - The changelog format must follow [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) - Version numbering must follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html) - The PR branch naming convention is `release/v{VERSION}` - After the PR is merged, the user should trigger the **Publish azd Extension** workflow (`azd-ext-release.yml`) to build, pack, and publish the extension
