Add a roller-release developer skill documenting the release procedure - #186
Merged
Conversation
Adds an optional skills/ directory holding written-down project procedures for Roller developers, starting with the release workflow: preparing and versioning a candidate, building, signing, verifying, staging, voting, promoting the approved bytes, updating the website and announcing. The skill is plain Markdown plus two helper scripts. It is not part of the build, the runtime, or the source and binary distributions; the source assembly's include list does not cover this directory. Developers who use an agent tool can symlink it under .claude/skills/, and everyone else can read it as documentation. See skills/README.md. The helpers preview by default and never commit, tag, push, sign or send mail. The skill records procedure only; the PMC owns release decisions and ASF policy governs what a release requires.

skills/directory with a documented Roller release workflow: preparing a candidate, building, signing, verifying, staging, voting, promoting approved artifacts, updating the website, and drafting announcements.The skill is plain Markdown with two helper scripts. It is outside the build, runtime, and release distributions. Helpers preview by default; release decisions remain with the PMC.
Validation: shell syntax, helper behavior, local Markdown links, license headers, and publication-content checks passed during preparation. The source assembly allowlist excludes
