sw-release

Align versions across multiple repositories according to release strategy. Analyzes conventional commits to suggest version bumps, detects version conflicts, validates cross-repo compatibility, and executes version alignment (updates package.json, creates git tags, updates changelogs). Supports lockstep, independent, and umbrella versioning strategies.

Initialize or analyze release strategy for the project. For new projects, recommends optimal release approach based on architecture, team size, and deployment frequency. For brownfield projects, detects existing release patterns from git history, CI/CD configs, and package managers, then documents the strategy. Creates release-strategy.md in living docs with comprehensive release process documentation.

Full patch release - auto-commit, push, build, npm publish, AND GitHub Release creation. Use --quick for save+release (no GH release). Use --ci for GitHub Actions publish. Use --only for local publish without git push. Use --only --local for version bump only.

Coordinate multi-repo platform releases with synchronized versioning, RC workflow, and GitFlow integration. Usage: /sw-release:platform create|promote|status

Manage Release Candidate (RC) lifecycle including creation, testing, validation, and promotion to production. Handles RC iteration (rc.1, rc.2, rc.3), tracks testing status, coordinates RC across multiple repositories, manages canary deployments, and promotes RC to final release when validation passes.
