Release Process for atomic-agents

Overview

This skill guides the release process for atomic-agents, including version bumping, PyPI publishing, and GitHub release creation.

Prerequisites

• Must be on main branch with clean working directory
• .env file must contain PYPI_TOKEN environment variable
• Must have push access to the repository

Release Types

Type	When to Use	Example
major	Breaking changes	2.5.0 → 3.0.0
minor	New features (backwards compatible)	2.5.0 → 2.6.0
patch	Bug fixes only	2.5.0 → 2.5.1

Step-by-Step Process

1. Prepare the Branch

git checkout main
git pull
git status  # Ensure clean working directory

2. Run Build and Deploy Script

Important: The script bumps versions, so if it fails partway through, reset to main before retrying.

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File build_and_deploy.ps1 <major|minor|patch>

This script will:

• Read current version from pyproject.toml
• Increment version based on release type
• Update pyproject.toml with new version
• Run uv sync to update dependencies
• Run uv build to create distribution packages
• Run uv publish to upload to PyPI

3. If Script Fails - Reset and Retry

git checkout main
git reset --hard origin/main
# Fix the issue, then run script again

4. Commit and Push Version Bump

git add pyproject.toml uv.lock
git commit -m "Release vX.Y.Z"
git push

5. Create GitHub Release

gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z" --notes "RELEASE_NOTES_HERE"
