deft-directive-release
Cut a v0.X.Y release of the deft framework safely. Use when the user says "release", "cut release", "v0.X.Y", or "publish release" -- to walk an 8-phase workflow that pre-flights, runs an end-to-end rehearsal against a temp repo, lands a draft on the real repo, gates on user review, then publishes or rolls back. Re-uses the deft-directive-swarm Phase 6 Step 5 Slack announcement template.
Best use case
deft-directive-release is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
