Cut a release — detect versioning context, generate a changelog from conventional commits, bump versions, and create a git tag. Use when the user says "release", "cut a release", "tag a release", "bump the version", "create a changelog", or any variation of shipping/publishing a version. This skill is intentionally generic and works across any repo — it infers context from git history and project structure rather than assuming a specific setup.

Cut a release by detecting the project's versioning context, generating a changelog, bumping versions, and tagging. Works across any repo by reading context from git history and project structure rather than hardcoding assumptions.
Before starting, read .agents/release.override.skill.md if it exists. This is a freeform markdown file authored by the project owner whose instructions layer on top of this skill — its contents take precedence where they conflict. It can narrow defaults, specify version file locations, set tag formats, add pre/post-release steps, or anything else.
Infer the project's release conventions from what already exists. Do all of these checks up front before proposing anything to the user.
