release-rollback

Rollback a failed release by deleting the release and reverting version changes.

⚠️ This will delete the release and revert version changes.

Current Situation Check

Check recent tags:

git tag -l --sort=-version:refname | head -5

Review which version needs to be rolled back.

Rollback Process

Step 1: Verify Version to Rollback

Confirm with the user:

• What is the version to rollback?
• Is this the correct version to rollback?

Step 2: Run Rollback Script

Execute the rollback command:

npm run release:rollback <version>

Example:

npm run release:rollback 1.5.0-beta.3

Step 3: What the Script Will Do

The rollback script performs:

• Delete local git tag for specified version
• Delete remote git tag for specified version
• Delete GitHub release for specified version
• Revert version changes in all files
• Clean up RELEASE_NOTES files
• Provide next steps

Step 4: After Rollback

Post-rollback verification:

1. Check GitHub to confirm release is deleted
2. Verify tags are removed: git tag -l
3. Fix the issues that caused the failure
4. Run: npm run release:check to validate fixes

Step 5: Create New Release

Once issues are fixed, create new release:

• For beta: Use release-beta skill
• For stable: Use release-stable skill
