Release Maintainer
Maintain and execute Rudder releases across npm, GitHub Releases, and Desktop portable assets. Use this skill whenever the user asks about 发版, release, publishing to npm, canary/stable promotion, GitHub Release assets, Desktop distribution, `npx @rudderhq/cli@latest start`, `npx @rudderhq/cli start`, broken npm `latest` dist-tags, full Desktop install smoke tests, GitHub Release API/rate-limit failures, version bumps, rollback, obsolete canary GitHub Release/tag cleanup after stable promotion, first-time package bootstrap, npm token-based fallback publishing, or release workflow failures. Prefer this skill for both planning and hands-on release operations in the Rudder repository, even when the user only asks "现在要做什么" or "帮我发版".
From the source SKILL.md
Help the user ship Rudder without losing track of release surfaces.
