Bump the repo's declared version — MANDATORY whenever a version field exists. This is the package/manifest version, not just a "user-facing app" version: a library, CLI, or installer package (e.g. one with a package.json "version") counts and must be bumped. Do not skip this because the repo "isn't an app." Grep the repo for version fields and update every match to X.Y.Z so the tag points at a commit carrying the correct version. Common locations (check all, update every match):

# create-release
Cut an annotated semver tag and publish a GitHub release with auto-generated notes.
## Preconditions — verify ALL before doing anything
```bash
git status # must be clean — stop if dirty, surface the diff
git branch --show-current # must be on default branch (main/master)
git fetch origin && git status # must be up to date with origin
gh auth status # must succeed
```
If any check fails: **stop and tell the user**. Do not proceed.
## Steps
1. **Inspect actual tags** — never rely on memory or CHANGELOG:
```bash
git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -10
```
2. **Review commits since last tag:**
```bash
git log <last-tag>..HEAD --oneline
```
3. **Determine semver bump and state rationale** — breaking = major, new feature = minor, fixes/polish = patch. Proceed immediately. Only pause to ask the user if the bump type is genuinely ambiguous (e.g. unclear whether commits are breaking).
4. **Bump the repo's declared version — MANDATORY whenever a version field exists.** This is the package/manifest version, not just a "user-facing app" version: a library, CLI, or installer package (e.g. one with a `package.json` `"version"`) counts and **must** be bumped. Do not skip this because the repo "isn't an app." Grep the repo for version fields and update every match to `X.Y.Z` so the tag points at a commit carrying the correct version. Common locations (check all, update every match):
| File | Field |
|------|-------|
| `package.json` | `"version"` |
| `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` | `"version"` |
| `app.json` / `app.config.js` / `app.config.ts` | `expo.version` |
| `pubspec.yaml` | `version` |
| `Cargo.toml` | `[package] version` |
| `pyproject.toml` | `[project] version` or `[tool.poetry] version` |
| iOS `*.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj` | `MARKETING_VERSION` |
| Android `build.gradle` | `versionName` |
- Leave native build numbers (`buildNumber`, `versionCode`, `CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION`) alone unless the user asks.
- If — and only if — no version field exists anywhere, skip silently and proceed to step 5.
- **Publish-on-release check (do this every time):** inspect `.github/workflows/` for a job that runs on `release: published` (e.g. `npm publish`). These jobs are almost always idempotency-guarded on the manifest version — if `package.json` still holds the previous version, the guard sees it already published and **silently skips**, so the release ships to GitHub but never reaches the registry. If such a workflow exists, bumping the manifest version in this step is what makes the publish actually fire; a mismatch between the tag and the manifest version is a bug.
- If a version field exists, edit it, then commit and push **before tagging**:
```bash
git commit -am "chore(release): bump version to X.Y.Z"
git push origin <default-branch>
```
- The tag must point at this bump commit — create the tag only after the commit and push succeed.
5. **Create annotated tag** (not lightweight):
```bash
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z"
```
6. **Push tag:**
```bash
git push origin vX.Y.Z
```
7. **Create release with auto-generated notes:**
```bash
gh release create vX.Y.Z --generate-notes --title "vX.Y.Z"
```
Print the URL from `gh`'s output.
8. **Project-local hook:** if the repo has a `MEMORY.md` or `CHANGELOG.md` with a Releases section, append:
`**vX.Y.Z** — YYYY-MM-DD: <one-line summary>`
Skip silently if neither exists.
## Red Flags — STOP
| Situation | Action |
|-----------|--------|
| Tag already exists | Do NOT force-overwrite. Ask user. |
| `git status` dirty | Stop. Surface the diff. |
| Not on default branch | Stop. Ask user to confirm intent. |
| Breaking changes + patch bump proposed | Require major bump. |
| Manifest version (`package.json` etc.) still at previous version | Bump it (step 4) before tagging — a stale version silently no-ops any publish-on-release workflow. |
## Common Mistakes
- **Trusting memory for latest version** — always run `git tag`, tags and notes diverge.
- **Hand-writing release notes** — always use `--generate-notes`; GitHub builds them from merged PRs automatically.
- **Stalling for unnecessary confirmation** — if preconditions pass and bump type is clear, tag and release immediately.
- **Lightweight tag** — `git tag vX.Y.Z` without `-a` creates a lightweight tag; use `-a` always.
- **Letting `gh release create` implicitly create the tag** — create and push the tag explicitly first so it's traceable.
- **Tagging before the version bump commit** — if the repo has a declared version, bump and commit it first, then tag that commit. A tag pointing at a commit with the old version is wrong.
- **Treating a library/installer's `package.json` version as "not an app version" and skipping the bump** — any manifest `version` field must be bumped (step 4). Skipping it strands the release on GitHub and silently skips the npm publish, because the publish workflow keys off `package.json`'s version.
