Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Prepare Release Automate the Cherry Studio release workflow: collect changes → generate bilingual release notes → update files → create release branch + PR → trigger CI/CD. ## Arguments Parse the version intent from the user's message. Accept any of these forms: - Bump type keyword: `patch`, `minor`, `major` - Exact version: `x.y.z` or `x.y.z-pre.N` (e.g. `1.8.0`, `1.8.0-beta.1`, `1.8.0-rc.1`) - Natural language: "prepare a beta release", "bump to 1.8.0-rc.2", etc. Defaults to `patch` if no version is specified. Always echo the resolved target version back to the user before proceeding with any file edits. - `--dry-run`: Preview only, do not create branch or PR. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Determine Version 1. Get the latest tag: ```bash git describe --tags --abbrev=0 ``` 2. Read current version from `package.json`. 3. Compute the new version based on the argument: - `patch` / `minor` / `major`: bump from the current tag version. - `x.y.z` or `x.y.z-pre.N`: use as-is after validating it is valid semver. ### Step 2: Collect Commits 1. List all commits since the last tag: ```bash git log <last-tag>..HEAD --format="%H %s" --no-merges ``` 2. For each commit, get the full body: ```bash gi

Prepare a new release by collecting commits, generating bilingual release notes, updating version files, and creating a release branch with PR. Use when asked to prepare/create a release, bump version, or run `/prepare-release`.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add CherryHQ/cherry-studio --skill prepare-release --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From CherryHQ/cherry-studio, a repository with 49,400 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
