+name: create-roam-release
+description: Create a release for the Discourse Graphs Roam plugin. Use when the user wants to draft or publish a Roam release, generate or update the Roam changelog from Linear issues, trigger the Roam Depot release workflow, or mark merged Roam issues as released.
+---
+
+Create a release for the Discourse Graphs Roam plugin with version `$ARGUMENTS`.
+
+Follow these steps:
+
+## 1. Validate input
+
+- The argument must be a semver version (for example `0.18.0`). If it is missing or invalid, ask the user.
+- Read `apps/roam/package.json` and confirm the requested version matches the current package version.
+- Read `apps/roam/CHANGELOG.md` and detect whether that version already has an entry.
+- If the version does not match `package.json`, stop and ask the user to resolve the mismatch before continuing.
+
+## 2. Gather Roam release candidates from Linear
+
+Use Linear as the source of truth. The relevant workflow states are `Merged` and `Released`.
+
+### Primary candidates
+
+- Query Engineering issues in the Linear project `Roam Discourse Graph plugin assorted tasks` with state `Merged`.
+- These are the default included issues.
+
+### Spillover candidates
+
+- Query Engineering issues with label `Roam plugin` and state `Merged`.
+- Remove any issue already captured in the primary set.
+- Remove obvious release-ticket items, such as titles like:
+  - `Release Roam ...`
+  - `Roam Release ...`
+  - `release to Roam Depot ...`
+- These issues are not auto-included. Present them separately for explicit user approval.
+
+### Exclusions
+
+- Do not include any issue already in state `Released`.
+- Keep `Chore`, `Documentation`, telemetry-only, build-only, deploy-only, and release-process-only work in a separate review-only excluded list unless the user explicitly asks to include an item.
+
+## 3. Classify the included issues
+
+Build the final changelog from user-facing changes only.
+
+- `Bug` -> `Fixed`
+- Clear new functionality or `Feature` -> `Added`
+- User-facing improvements, UX refinements, behavior changes, and meaningful performance work -> `Changed`
+- Internal-only work -> exclude from the final changelog by default
+
+When labels are incomplete, use the title and description to infer the best category. Prefer concise user-facing wording over reproducing Linear titles verbatim.
+
+## 4. Show the review set before editing files
+
+Before mutating anything, show the user:
+
+- Included primary issues
+- Spillover issues that need approval
+- Excluded internal-only issues
+- A draft changelog entry
+
+Ask the user to confirm:
+
+- Which spillover issues to include
+- Any wording or categorization changes
+- Whether to proceed with updating `apps/roam/CHANGELOG.md`
+
+## 5. Generate the changelog entry
+
+Follow the existing Roam changelog style in `apps/roam/CHANGELOG.md`.
+
+Format:
+
+```md
+## [0.18.0] - 2026-03-29
+
+### Added
+
+- **Short label** - user-facing description
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Short label** - user-facing description
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Short label** - user-facing description
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- Omit empty sections.
+- Keep entries short and user-facing.
+- Prefer bold lead phrases when they help scanning.
+- If the target version already has an entry, update that entry instead of creating a duplicate.
+- Otherwise prepend the new entry immediately below the changelog header text.
+
+## 6. Edit the changelog
+
+- Update `apps/roam/CHANGELOG.md` only after the user approves the draft.
+- After editing, show the final entry back to the user and ask for one more confirmation before publishing.
+
+## 7. Publish the Roam release
+
+Treat the GitHub Actions workflow as the authoritative publish step.
+
+- Trigger the existing workflow:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run roam-release.yaml --repo DiscourseGraphs/discourse-graph
+```
+
+- Then inspect the newest run for that workflow and wait for completion.
+- If the workflow cannot be triggered from the current environment, stop after the changelog update and give the user the exact next manual step instead of switching to a different publish path.
+- Do not fall back to a different release mechanism unless the user explicitly asks for it.
+
+## 8. Mark included issues as sent to Roam for review in Linear
+
+Only after the Roam publish workflow succeeds:
+
+- Move every included issue from `Merged` to `Sent to Roam for Review`.
+- Do not create or update a separate Linear release ticket.
+- Do not change spillover issues the user did not approve.
+
+If publish fails or is skipped, do not move any issues to `Sent to Roam for Review`.
+
+## 9. Final response
+
+Report:
+
+- The final changelog entry
+- Which issues were included
+- Which spillover issues were added or skipped
+- Whether the GitHub Actions release workflow was triggered successfully
+- Which Linear issues were moved to `Sent to Roam for Review`
+
+If publish did not happen, clearly state that the changelog was prepared but Linear release bookkeeping was not applied.
