Releasing

Version is derived automatically from git tags via hatch-vcs — no manual version bumping needed.

Before tagging, bump the version in both plugin manifest files:

• coding-agent-plugins/claude-code/.claude-plugin/plugin.json
• .claude-plugin/marketplace.json

Wait for CI to pass on master, then tag, push, and create a GitHub release:

# Review changes since last release
git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline

git tag v<version>
git push origin v<version>
gh release create v<version> --title "v<version>" --notes "..."

The publish.yml GitHub Action builds and publishes to PyPI automatically via trusted publishing.
