Can it generate a GitHub release automatically?

Yes, after creating the git tag, the skill can optionally facilitate the creation of a GitHub release with an auto-generated changelog.

Will it create tags without my permission?

No, the skill follows an interactive execution pattern where it presents its findings and recommendations, requiring your confirmation before running any git commands.

Does this skill support monorepos?

Yes, it supports monorepo namespaced tags using the @ separator convention (e.g., component@1.0.0) to manage multiple packages in one repository.

How does it determine the next version number?

It analyzes your commit history using Conventional Commits standards: 'feat' triggers a minor bump, 'fix' triggers a patch, and 'BREAKING CHANGE' triggers a major version increase.

Is this used for generating CHANGELOG.md files?

This skill focuses on the tagging and release execution logic; for complex changelog file generation, it is best used in conjunction with a dedicated release-management skill.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates semantic versioning and git tagging by analyzing repository history and conventional commits.

About

The Semantic Release Tagger is an interactive automation agent designed to streamline the release workflow within Claude Code. It proactively analyzes repository state, detects monorepo structures, and parses conventional commits to calculate precise MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version bumps. By automating the execution of git commands—including annotated tag creation and GitHub release integration—it ensures consistent versioning standards while maintaining a human-in-the-loop confirmation process before any changes are pushed.

Key Features

Optional GitHub release integration with auto-generated changelogs
Interactive repository analysis to detect existing versioning patterns
Automated git tag creation and remote synchronization
0 GitHub stars
Monorepo-aware tagging with support for namespaced components
Automated SEMVER calculation from conventional commit history

Use Cases

Managing independent versioning for multiple services within a monorepo architecture
Implementing a consistent semantic versioning strategy across a distributed development team
Creating standardized git tags immediately after merging a PR to the main branch
