Release Swarm by spencermarx

Overview

Orchestrate complex software releases using AI swarms that handle everything from changelog generation to multi-platform deployment.

Core Features

1. Release Planning

# Plan next release using gh CLI
# Get commit history since last release
LAST_TAG=$(gh release list --limit 1 --json tagName -q '.[0].tagName')
COMMITS=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo/compare/${LAST_TAG}...HEAD --jq '.commits')

# Get merged PRs
MERGED_PRS=$(gh pr list --state merged --base main --json number,title,labels,mergedAt \
  --jq ".[] | select(.mergedAt > \"$(gh release view $LAST_TAG --json publishedAt -q .publishedAt)\")")  

# Plan release with commit analysis
npx claude-flow@v3alpha github release-plan \
  --commits "$COMMITS" \
  --merged-prs "$MERGED_PRS" \
  --analyze-commits \
  --suggest-version \
  --identify-breaking \
  --generate-timeline

2. Automated Versioning

# Smart version bumping
npx claude-flow@v3alpha github release-version \
  --strategy "semantic" \
  --analyze-changes \
  --check-breaking \
  --update-files

3. Release Orchestration

# Full release automation with gh CLI
# Generate changelog from PRs and commits
CHANGELOG=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo/compare/${LAST_TAG}...HEAD \
  --jq '.commits[].commit.message' | \
  npx claude-flow@v3alpha github generate-changelog)

# Create release draft
gh release create v2.0.0 \
  --draft \
  --title "Release v2.0.0" \
  --notes "$CHANGELOG" \
  --target main

# Run release orchestration
npx claude-flow@v3alpha github release-create \
  --version "2.0.0" \
  --changelog "$CHANGELOG" \
  --build-artifacts \
…

Release Agents

Changelog Agent

# Generate intelligent changelog with gh CLI
# Get all merged PRs between versions
PRS=$(gh pr list --state merged --base main --json number,title,labels,author,mergedAt \
  --jq ".[] | select(.mergedAt > \"$(gh release view v1.0.0 --json publishedAt -q .publishedAt)\")")  

# Get contributors
CONTRIBUTORS=$(echo "$PRS" | jq -r '[.author.login] | unique | join(", ")')

# Get commit messages
COMMITS=$(gh api repos/:owner/:repo/compare/v1.0.0...HEAD \
  --jq '.commits[].commit.message')

# Generate categorized changelog
CHANGELOG=$(npx claude-flow@v3alpha github changelog \
  --prs "$PRS" \
