# Nexmoe Release Best Practices

Universal release workflow supporting any project type with multi-language changelog.

## Quick Start

Just run `/nexmoe-best-practices-release` - auto-detects your project configuration.

## Supported Projects

| Project Type | Version File | Auto-Detected |
|--------------|--------------|---------------|
| Node.js | package.json | ✓ |
| Python | pyproject.toml | ✓ |
| Rust | Cargo.toml | ✓ |
| Claude Plugin | marketplace.json | ✓ |
| Generic | VERSION / version.txt | ✓ |

## Options

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--dry-run` | Preview changes without executing |
| `--major` | Force major version bump |
| `--minor` | Force minor version bump |
| `--patch` | Force patch version bump |

## Workflow

### Step 1: Detect Project Configuration

1. Check for `.releaserc.yml` (optional config override)
2. Auto-detect version file by scanning (priority order):
   - `package.json` (Node.js)
   - `pyproject.toml` (Python)
   - `Cargo.toml` (Rust)
   - `marketplace.json` or `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` (Claude Plugin)
   - `VERSION` or `version.txt` (Generic)
3. Scan for changelog files using glob patterns:
   - `CHANGELOG*.md`
   - `HISTORY*.md`
   - `CHANGES*.md`
4. Identify language of each changelog by filename suffix
5. Display detected configuration

**Language Detection Rules**:

Changelog files follow the pattern `CHANGELOG_{LANG}.md` or `CHANGELOG.{lang}.md`, where `{lang}` / `{LANG}` is a language or region code.

| Pattern | Example | Language |
|---------|---------|----------|
| No suffix | `CHANGELOG.md` | en (default) |
| `_{LANG}` (uppercase) | `CHANGELOG_CN.md`, `CHANGELOG_JP.md` | Corresponding language |
| `.{lang}` (lowercase) | `CHANGELOG.zh.md`, `CHANGELOG.ja.md` | Corresponding language |
| `.{lang-region}` | `CHANGELOG.zh-CN.md` | Corresponding region variant |

Common language codes: `zh` (Chinese), `ja` (Japanese), `ko` (Korean), `de` (German), `fr` (French), `es` (Spanish).

**Output Example**:
```
Project detected:
  Version file: package.json (1.2.3)
  Changelogs:
    - CHANGELOG.md (en)
    - CHANGELOG.zh.md (zh)
    - CHANGELOG.ja.md (ja)
```

### Step 2: Analyze Changes Since Last Tag

```bash
LAST_TAG=$(git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -1)
git log ${LAST_TAG}..HEAD --oneline
git diff ${LAST_TAG}..HEAD --stat
```

Categorize by conventional commit types:

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| feat | New features |
| fix | Bug fixes |
| docs | Documentation |
| refactor | Code refactoring |
| perf | Performance improvements |
| test | Test changes |
| style | Formatting, styling |
| chore | Maintenance (skip in changelog) |

> **Note**: This categorization is for internal analysis only. When writing changelog entries (Step 4), ALL descriptions must be rewritten in user-facing language. See Step 4 writing guidelines.

**Breaking Change Detection**:
- Commit message starts with `BREAKING CHANGE`
- Commit body/footer contains `BREAKING CHANGE:`
- Removed public APIs, renamed exports, changed interfaces

If breaking changes detected, warn user: "Breaking changes detected. Consider major version bump (--major flag)."

### Step 3: Determine Version Bump

Rules (in priority order):
1. User flag `--major/--minor/--patch` → Use specified
2. BREAKING CHANGE detected → Major bump (1.x.x → 2.0.0)
3. `feat:` commits present → Minor bump (1.2.x → 1.3.0)
4. Otherwise → Patch bump (1.2.3 → 1.2.4)

Display version change: `1.2.3 → 1.3.0`

### Step 4: Generate Multi-language Changelogs

For each detected changelog file:

1. **Identify language** from filename suffix
2. **Detect third-party contributors**:
   - Check merge commits: `git log ${LAST_TAG}..HEAD --merges --pretty=format:"%H %s"`
   - For each merged PR, identify the PR author via `gh pr view <number> --json author --jq '.author.login'`
   - Compare against repo owner (`gh repo view --json owner --jq '.owner.login'`)
   - If PR author ≠ repo owner → third-party contributor
3. **Generate content in that language**:
