Versioned Bootstrap Skills (Release Artifacts)

[yusufkaraaslan]

Overview

Generate and attach bootstrap skill to each GitHub release as an artifact.

Motivation

• Historical tracking of codebase evolution
• Compare skills across versions (v2.7.0 vs v2.8.0)
• Audit trail of API changes
• Validate refactoring impacts

Implementation

Modify release workflow to generate versioned bootstrap:

# On tag push (v2.8.0, v2.9.0, etc.)
./scripts/bootstrap_skill.sh

# Output to versioned directory
mv output/skill-seekers output/skill-seekers-v${VERSION}

# Create archive
tar -czf skill-seekers-v${VERSION}.tar.gz output/skill-seekers-v${VERSION}

# Upload as release artifact
gh release create v${VERSION} --notes "Release v${VERSION}" \
  skill-seekers-v${VERSION}.tar.gz

Benefits

• ✅ Historical skill versions
• ✅ Compare pattern detection: v2.7.0 (85 patterns) → v2.8.0 (90 patterns)
• ✅ Track API changes over time
• ✅ Rollback to previous versions if needed

Use Cases

• Release notes automation (compare API surface)
• Validate breaking changes
• Track pattern detection improvements
