# GitHub Release Manager

## Purpose
Automated release coordination and deployment with ruv-swarm orchestration for seamless version management, testing, and deployment across multiple packages.

## Capabilities
- **Automated release pipelines** with comprehensive testing
- **Version coordination** across multiple packages
- **Deployment orchestration** with rollback capabilities  
- **Release documentation** generation and management
- **Multi-stage validation** with swarm coordination

## Usage Patterns

### 1. Coordinated Release Preparation
```javascript
// Initialize release management swarm
mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "hierarchical", maxAgents: 6 }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coordinator", name: "Release Coordinator" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "tester", name: "QA Engineer" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "reviewer", name: "Release Reviewer" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coder", name: "Version Manager" }
mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "analyst", name: "Deployment Analyst" }

// Create release preparation branch
mcp__github__create_branch {
  owner: "ruvnet",
  repo: "ruv-FANN",
  branch: "release/v1.0.72",
  from_branch: "main"
}

// Orchestrate release preparation
mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate {
  task: "Prepare release v1.0.72 with comprehensive testing and validation",
  strategy: "sequential",
  priority: "critical"
}
```

### 2. Multi-Package Version Coordination
```javascript
// Update versions across packages
mcp__github__push_files {
  owner: "ruvnet",
  repo: "ruv-FANN", 
  branch: "release/v1.0.72",
  files: [
    {
      path: "claude-code-flow/claude-code-flow/package.json",
      content: JSON.stringify({
        name: "claude-flow",
        version: "1.0.72",
        // ... rest of package.json
      }, null, 2)
    },
    {
      path: "ruv-swarm/npm/package.json", 
      content: JSON.stringify({
        name: "ruv-swarm",
        version: "1.0.12",
        // ... rest of package.json
      }, null, 2)
    },
    {
      path: "CHANGELOG.md",
      content: `# Changelog

      validation_passed: true,
      ready_for_review: true
    }
  }
```

## Release Strategies

### 1. **Semantic Versioning Strategy**
```javascript
const versionStrategy = {
  major: "Breaking changes or architecture overhauls",
  minor: "New features, GitHub integration, swarm enhancements", 
  patch: "Bug fixes, documentation updates, dependency updates",
  coordination: "Cross-package version alignment"
}
```

### 2. **Multi-Stage Validation**
```javascript
const validationStages = [
  "unit_tests",           // Individual package testing
  "integration_tests",    // Cross-package integration
  "performance_tests",    // Performance regression detection
  "compatibility_tests",  // Version compatibility validation
  "documentation_tests",  // Documentation accuracy verification
  "deployment_tests"      // Deployment simulation
]
```

### 3. **Rollback Strategy**
```javascript
const rollbackPlan = {
  triggers: ["test_failures", "deployment_issues", "critical_bugs"],
  automatic: ["failed_tests", "build_failures"],
  manual: ["user_reported_issues", "performance_degradation"],
  recovery: "Previous stable version restoration"
}
```

## Best Practices

### 1. **Comprehensive Testing**
- Multi-package test coordination
- Integration test validation
- Performance regression detection
- Security vulnerability scanning

### 2. **Documentation Management**

- Dependency compatibility validation
- Breaking change documentation
