What it does

This skill is a step-by-step runbook that lets an AI agent prepare a new Prisma 8 release for a maintainer. The agent fetches the main branch, works in a fresh git worktree, bumps the version number in the root package.json and every workspace package, refreshes the lockfile, checks the diff for unexpected changes, and opens a pull request. Merging that PR, which stays a human decision, is what triggers the existing publish workflow to release to npm.

Great for

  • Prisma maintainers who have push and PR rights and need to cut the next RC or stable release
  • Maintainers who want the agent to handle the mechanical version bump and diff checks consistently

Skip it if

  • Anyone outside the Prisma maintainer team: it needs repository push access and assumes internal scripts and workflows exist
  • Emergency patch releases: the skill explicitly does not handle patches, and a wrong release is hard to undo on npm

Try asking

  • “Cut the next RC for Prisma 8”
  • “Open a release PR to bump to the next version”
  • “Prepare a publish PR for the next release”

Get better results

  • Run it locally rather than in CI, because PRs opened with the workflow GITHUB_TOKEN do not trigger normal CI.
  • Check the printed version against the one computed earlier; if they differ, stop and restart as instructed rather than forcing a bump.
  • Review the diff carefully before merging, since merging the PR is what publishes to npm.
