Promote Beta to Stable

Promote the latest pre-release of dyad-sh/dyad to a stable release.

IMPORTANT: This skill MUST complete all steps autonomously. Do NOT ask for user confirmation at any step.

Instructions

  1. Look up the latest pre-release:

    gh release list --repo dyad-sh/dyad --limit 10 --json tagName,isPrerelease

    Find the most recent release where isPrerelease is true. Extract the version from the tag name (e.g., v0.39.0-beta.1).

    If no pre-release is found, report this and stop.

  2. Get the commit for the pre-release tag:

    git fetch upstream --tags
git rev-parse <tag>

    Where <tag> is the tag name from step 1 (e.g., v0.39.0-beta.1).

  3. Determine the release branch name:

    Parse the version to extract MAJOR and MINOR components. The branch name should be release-MAJOR.MINOR.x.

    For example:

    • v0.39.0-beta.1 → release-0.39.x
    • v1.2.0-beta.3 → release-1.2.x

  4. Create the release branch from the pre-release commit:

    git checkout -b release-MAJOR.MINOR.x <commit-sha>

  5. Bump the version in package.json:

    Read package.json and change the version field from the pre-release version to the stable version by stripping the pre-release suffix.

    For example:

    • 0.39.0-beta.1 → 0.39.0
    • 1.2.0-beta.3 → 1.2.0

    Use the Edit tool to make this change.

  6. Create the commit:

    Stage and commit the change:

    git add package.json
git commit -m "Bump to v<STABLE_VERSION>"

    For example: git commit -m "Bump to v0.39.0"

  7. Push the branch to upstream (dyad-sh/dyad):

    git push upstream release-MAJOR.MINOR.x

  8. Summarize the results:

    • Report the pre-release that was promoted (e.g., v0.39.0-beta.1)
    • Report the stable version (e.g., v0.39.0)
    • Report the release branch name (e.g., release-0.39.x)
    • Confirm the branch was pushed to upstream
