# Release Skill

Build -> test -> inspect artifacts -> changelog/versioning -> package/release checks.

## Subagents
When you need to delegate sub‑tasks, use the `pi-subagents` skill.

**Example:** For a multi-platform release, assign a **scout** to build the Linux artifact, another **scout** to build the macOS artifact, a third to run the integration test suite, and a **reviewer** to verify version tags and changelog entries before publishing.

*You may adapt the delegation pattern to fit the exact requirements of the codebase.*

## Process

### 1. Build
- Clean build
- Verify build succeeds
- Check artifact integrity

### 2. Test
- Full test suite
- Integration tests
- Smoke tests on artifacts

### 3. Inspect
- Verify artifact contents
- Check version numbers
- Validate metadata

### 4. Changelog/Versioning
- Generate changelog
- Follow semver
- Tag release

### 5. Package/Release
- Publish to registry
- Verify published artifact
- Announce if needed
