 ## Cutting a new release
 
-Cutting a new release is mostly about updating `CHANGELOG.md` - luckily the [changelog tool](./tools/changelog.py) will do the heavy lifting for you.
-
-In order to use it, you will need to generate a [Github Token](https://github.com/settings/tokens/). The token does not require any scope, so if you're purposely generating one, make sure to avoid adding any. Store the token in your favourite secret manager for future usage.
-
-Also make sure to work in a `venv` where all the [requirements for the fabric tools](./tools/requirements.txt) are installed.
-
-```bash
-cd cloud-foundation-fabric
-git checkout master
-git pull
-./tools/changelog.py --write --token $YOURGITHUBTOKEN
-```
-
-After ~1 minute, the [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md) file will be updated by the tool - review any change by running `git diff` and make sure no unlabeled PR is listed. If you find unlabeled PRs, visit their link and add the relevant labels (e.g. on:FAST, on:blueprints, on:module, ...), and finally run again
-
-```bash
-./tools/changelog.py --write --token $YOURGITHUBTOKEN
-```
-
-Now open the up-to-date CHANGELOG.md in your favorite editor, and append the new release H2 after the `## [Unreleased]` header you see at the top - e.g. if the latest version is `29.0.0`, add an header for `30.0.0` and mark todays date as follows:
-
-```md
-[...]
-## [Unreleased]
-<!-- None < 2024-03-20 13:57:56+00:00 -->
-
-## [30.0.0] - 2024-03-20
-
-## [29.0.0] - 2024-01-24
-
-```
-
-Now scroll to the bottom section of the document, and update the release links by adding `30.0.0` and updating `Unreleased` as follows:
-
-```md
-[Unreleased]: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-foundation-fabric/compare/v30.0.0...HEAD
-[30.0.0]: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-foundation-fabric/compare/v29.0.0...v30.0.0
-[29.0.0]: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-foundation-fabric/compare/v28.0.0...v29.0.0
-```
-
-Once done, add, commit and push changes to master.
-
-As CHANGELOG.md is now ready, [create a new release from the Github UI](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-foundation-fabric/releases/new), and use `vXX.Y.Z` as the release tag and title (don't forget the `v` in front!).
-
-As a description, copy the whole content added to [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md) for the current release, and then click the 'Publish release' button.
-
-As a last cleanup for the CHANGELOG.md file, run
-
-```bash
-git pull
-./tools/changelog.py --write --token $TOKEN --release-to vXX.Y.Z
-git diff
-```
-
-And add / commit / push any change in case of a diff.

+description: Guide for cutting a new release of the Cloud Foundation Fabric (CFF) repository. Use this skill when asked to create, prepare, or draft a new release.
+---
+
+# Cloud Foundation Fabric Release Process
+
+This skill guides maintainers through the process of cutting a new release for the Cloud Foundation Fabric (CFF) repository.
+
+> **CRITICAL:** Release names and tags MUST ALWAYS be prefixed with `v` (e.g., `v55.1.0`, `v56.0.0`).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- **Permissions:** You must have write/release permissions on the repository.
+- **GitHub Token:** A valid GitHub token (can be easily derived by running `gh auth token`).
+- **Environment:** You can run the tools using either `uv` (recommended) or a standard Python virtual environment with `tools/requirements.txt` installed.
+
+## 1. Preparation
+
+Start from the `master` branch and ensure you are up to date:
+
+```bash
+git checkout master
+git pull
+```
+
+Identify the **latest released version** by extracting it from the `default-versions.tf` file:
+
+```bash
+LATEST_RELEASE=$(grep -oP '(?<=# Fabric release: ).*' default-versions.tf)
+echo "Latest release is: $LATEST_RELEASE"
+```
+
+## 2. Generate and Review Changelog
+
+Run the changelog script, specifying the bump type (e.g., `major`, `minor`, `patch`):
+
+```bash
+# Set your bump type here (major, minor, or patch)
+BUMP_TYPE="minor" 
+
+# Option A: Using uv (Recommended)
+uv run tools/changelog.py --release-from $LATEST_RELEASE --bump $BUMP_TYPE --write --token $(gh auth token)
+
+# Option B: Using a standard virtual environment
+./tools/changelog.py --release-from $LATEST_RELEASE --bump $BUMP_TYPE --write --token $(gh auth token)
+```
+
+**Review the changes:**
+Run `git diff CHANGELOG.md` and carefully inspect the output. Look for:
+- PRs missing labels (they will appear under a "no subsection" or similar area).
+- Weird or unclear names in PR titles.
+
+**If you find issues:**
+1. Click the PR link in the diff.
+2. Manually fix the labels or title on GitHub.
+3. Re-run the `changelog.py` command above.
+4. Repeat until the changelog is clean.
+
+## 3. Bump Versions
+
+Once the changelog is correct, extract the newly generated release version from the top of the changelog and bump the repository versions:
+
+```bash
+NEW_RELEASE=$(grep -oP '(?<=^## \[).*(?=\] - )' CHANGELOG.md | head -n 1)
+# Ensure it has the 'v' prefix
+if [[ $NEW_RELEASE != v* ]]; then NEW_RELEASE="v$NEW_RELEASE"; fi
+echo "New release is: $NEW_RELEASE"
+
+# Option A: Using uv (Recommended)
+uv run tools/versions.py --fabric-release $NEW_RELEASE --write-defaults
+
+# Option B: Using a standard virtual environment
+./tools/versions.py --fabric-release $NEW_RELEASE --write-defaults
+```
+
+## 4. Commit and Push
+
+Commit the prepared release files and push to `master`:
+
+```bash
+git add CHANGELOG.md default-versions.tf
+git commit -m "prep $NEW_RELEASE"
+git push origin master
+```
+
+**Important:** Wait for the GitHub Actions workflows on `master` to finish successfully before proceeding to the next step. You can monitor the progress directly from your terminal:
+
+```bash
+# Watch the latest workflow run on the master branch
+gh run watch $(gh run list --branch master --limit 1 --json databaseId -q '.[0].databaseId')
+```
+
+## 5. Create the GitHub Release
+
+You can create the release either automatically via the GitHub CLI or manually via the GitHub UI.
+
+### Option A: Automated via GitHub CLI (Recommended)
+
+This script extracts any "BREAKING CHANGES" from the changelog, converts the heading to Title Case, and prepends them to the automatically generated release notes.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Extract the section for the new release from CHANGELOG.md
+# We use awk to grab everything from the new release header until the next release header
+RELEASE_NOTES=$(awk "/^## \[$NEW_RELEASE\]/{flag=1; next} /^## \[v/{flag=0} flag" CHANGELOG.md)
+
+# 2. Extract just the BREAKING CHANGES section (if any)
+BREAKING_CHANGES=$(echo "$RELEASE_NOTES" | awk '/^### BREAKING CHANGES/{flag=1; print; next} /^### /{flag=0} flag')
+
+# 3. Create the release
+if [ -n "$(echo "$BREAKING_CHANGES" | tr -d '[:space:]')" ]; then
+  # Convert "### BREAKING CHANGES" to "### Breaking Changes"
+  FORMATTED_BREAKING_CHANGES=$(echo "$BREAKING_CHANGES" | sed 's/^### BREAKING CHANGES/### Breaking Changes/')
+  
+  # Prepend breaking changes to the generated notes
+  gh release create "$NEW_RELEASE" --title "$NEW_RELEASE" --generate-notes --notes "$FORMATTED_BREAKING_CHANGES"
+else
+  # Otherwise, just generate the standard notes
+  gh release create "$NEW_RELEASE" --title "$NEW_RELEASE" --generate-notes
+fi
+```
+
+### Option B: Manual via GitHub UI
+
+Go to the [GitHub Releases UI](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-foundation-fabric/releases/new) and configure the release:
+
+1. **Tag:** Create a new tag matching the new version (e.g., `v56.0.0`).
+2. **Title:** Use the exact same version string as the tag.
+3. **Release Notes:** Click the **"Generate release notes"** button.
+4. **Breaking Changes:** If the `CHANGELOG.md` contains a "BREAKING CHANGES" section for this release, copy it, paste it at the **top** of the generated release notes, and change the heading to "Breaking Changes".
+
+Click **Publish release**.
