+name: prepare-release
+description: Prepare a new release of CleanMyPosts (version bump, release notes, release PR to main). Use this whenever the user mentions releasing, publishing, shipping, cutting a release, bumping the version, or preparing release notes — even if they don't say "release" explicitly. Decides the next SemVer version automatically and proceeds when there are new commits since the last tag.
+---
+
+# Prepare release
+
+Prepare a new release of the CleanMyPosts desktop app. You decide the next
+version yourself. You **prepare the repository and open the release PR — then
+stop.** Reviewing, merging, and publishing are **admin-only** and not part of
+your job:
+
+- You do **not** merge the release PR (or enable auto-merge). The admin reviews
+  and merges every PR manually. `main` is a protected branch — direct pushes are
+  blocked, so every change ships through a PR.
+- You do **not** trigger `deploy-release.yml`. The GitHub Release (installer
+  build, `v<version>` git tag, AutoUpdater feed) is a manual `workflow_dispatch`
+  the admin runs **after** merging the release PR.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Check whether there is anything to release**
+   - Run the helper: `bash .claude/skills/prepare-release/scripts/check-updates.sh`
+   - Exit code **3** = nothing to release (no new commits since the last tag) → **stop**.
+   - Exit code **0** = new commits exist → continue.
+
+2. **Determine current version & last tag**
+   - Read `<Version>` in `src/CleanMyPosts/CleanMyPosts.csproj`.
+   - Latest tag: `git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1`.
+
+3. **Decide the next version (SemVer)** from `git log --oneline <tag>..HEAD`:
+   - **MAJOR** breaking / behavior-removing changes · **MINOR** new features ·
+     **PATCH** fixes/docs/dependency bumps.
+   - Must be strictly greater than the current version. State it + a one-line reason.
+
+4. **Confirm clean tree** — `git status --short`; if dirty, ask how to proceed.
+
+5. **Branch from up-to-date `main`** — `git checkout main && git pull` then
+   `git checkout -b release/v<version>`. Release branches always cut from `main`.
+
+6. **Build & test (green required)**
+   - `dotnet build CleanMyPosts.slnx -c Release`
+   - `dotnet test src/Tests/Tests.csproj -c Release --filter "TestCategory!=Long-Running"`
+     (same filter CI uses; long-running tests are excluded).
+
+7. **Bump `<Version>`** in `src/CleanMyPosts/CleanMyPosts.csproj`.
+
+8. **Extend docs** — update `README.md` etc. if the changes warrant it.
+
+9. **Release notes** — copy `.claude/skills/prepare-release/assets/release-notes.md`
+   to `release-notes/v<version>.md` and fill in the `### What's Changed` bullets
+   with **user-facing** notes (not raw commit subjects). This file becomes the
+   GitHub Release body verbatim — `deploy-release.yml` reads it via `body_path`.
+
+10. **Commit** (no tag) — stage the csproj, docs, and release notes; message
+    `release: v<version>`. Do **not** create a git tag — `deploy-release.yml`
+    creates `v<version>` at publish time.
+
+11. **Push & open PR to main — then stop. Do NOT merge it.**
+    - `git push -u origin release/v<version>`
+    - `gh pr create --base main --head release/v<version> --title "release: v<version>" --body <notes>`
+    - The admin reviews and merges the PR. You never merge it or enable auto-merge.
+
+12. **Report** the PR link and remind the admin: after **they** merge it, **they**
+    trigger **Deploy Release** manually (Actions → Deploy Release → Run workflow).
+    That workflow builds the installer, tags `v<version>`, publishes the GitHub
+    Release from `release-notes/v<version>.md`, and updates the AutoUpdater feed.
+    You do not trigger it.

+CleanMyPosts is a **.NET 10 WPF Windows desktop app** that bulk-deletes posts,
+reposts, replies, likes and followings on X (Twitter) and comments/likes on
+YouTube, by driving an embedded WebView2 browser with injected JavaScript.
+
+## Layout
+
+```
+CleanMyPosts.slnx                       # solution (repo root)
+src/CleanMyPosts/CleanMyPosts.csproj    # WPF app (WebView2 + MahApps.Metro + CommunityToolkit.Mvvm)

+release-notes/vX.Y.Z.md                 # GitHub Release body per version
+.github/workflows/ci.yml                # build + test on push/PR to main
+.github/workflows/deploy-release.yml    # manual: installer, tag, GitHub Release, AutoUpdater feed
+```
+
+## Build & test
+
+```bash
+dotnet build CleanMyPosts.slnx -c Release
+dotnet test src/Tests/Tests.csproj -c Release --filter "TestCategory!=Long-Running"
+```
+
+The filter mirrors CI, which excludes long-running tests.
+
+## Branching
+
+`main` is **protected** — direct pushes are blocked (including for admins) and
+the `build` status check must pass. Every change ships through a PR against
+`main`. Use `feature/<name>` for functionality, `fix/<name>` for bug fixes, and
+`release/vX.Y.Z` for release prep.
+
+## Versioning & release
+
+- Version lives in `src/CleanMyPosts/CleanMyPosts.csproj` (`<Version>`).
+- Do not bump `<Version>` without also adding `release-notes/v<version>.md` —
+  that file becomes the GitHub Release body (`deploy-release.yml` reads it via
+  `body_path`).
+- **Do not create git tags manually.** `deploy-release.yml` creates the
+  `v<version>` tag when it publishes.
+- The full release-prep flow (decide SemVer, branch, build/test, bump version,
+  write release notes, open the PR to `main`) is encoded in the
+  **`prepare-release`** skill at `.claude/skills/prepare-release/`. Run it via
+  Claude Code (`/prepare-release`) when cutting a release; it prepares the PR
+  only. Merging the PR and running **Deploy Release** (`workflow_dispatch`) are
+  manual, admin-only steps.
+
+## Code style
+
+Global conventions in `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` apply: comments only when the *why*
+is non-obvious, `var` when the type is evident, expression-bodied members,
+`is null` / `is not null`, `_camelCase` private fields, no `#region`.
