Closes the user's ask: versioning + a changelog generated on merging
to main, building on the just-mandated Conventional Commits substrate
(CLAUDE.md Key Conventions).
Architecture: ADR-021. Cookbook: docs/guides/releasing.md.
Initial state — six tracked packages at v0.1.0:
- . -> template-vertical (tag: template-v...)
- packages/auth -> @repo/auth (tag: auth-v...)
- packages/blog -> @repo/blog (tag: blog-v...)
- packages/media -> @repo/media (tag: media-v...)
- packages/marketing-pages -> @repo/marketing-pages (tag: marketing-pages-v...)
- packages/navigation -> @repo/navigation (tag: navigation-v...)
Core packages, tooling, and apps are NOT independently versioned
(ADR-021 rationale: core bumps cascade; apps aren't consumables;
surfacing them would create noise without information).
Configuration:
- release-please-config.json - 6 tracked packages, hybrid scope,
pre-1.0 conservative bump policy
(feat: -> patch, feat!: -> minor),
conventional-commit type mapping
- .release-please-manifest.json - baseline 0.1.0 for all 6 packages
- .github/workflows/release-please.yml - googleapis/release-please-
action@v4 on push to main,
concurrency-gated, write
permissions for the rolling PR
Workflow: on every push to main, release-please scans commits since
the last release tag PER PACKAGE (using commit-path, not the
conventional-commit scope), updates a single rolling release PR with
version bumps + per-package CHANGELOG entries. Merging that PR cuts
per-package tags + GitHub releases.
CHANGELOG files seeded at v0.1.0 baseline:
- CHANGELOG.md (root)
- packages/<feature>/CHANGELOG.md (5 features)
Subsequent versions are appended by release-please from commit
history. Do not edit manually.
Visibility surfaces updated (every agent entry point):
- CLAUDE.md Read First + new "Versioning is hybrid" Key Conventions
bullet (with bump policy summary)
- AGENTS.md preamble - new "Releases:" callout alongside Commits
- docs/glossary.md - new Releasing section with 8 terms (Conventional
Commits, release-please, Hybrid versioning, Tag prefix, Rolling
release PR, Bump targeting, Pre-1.0 bump policy, Release-As trailer,
CHANGELOG.md)
- docs/README.md - guides tree updated with releasing.md
- .claude/hooks/session-start.sh - one-line release reminder
- .claude/hooks/prompt-context.sh - new keyword group for
release/version/bump/semver/tag prompts
Package.json version bumps:
- root: name "template" -> "template-vertical", version "0.1.0"
- packages/auth, blog, media, marketing-pages, navigation: "0.0.0" -> "0.1.0"
Root rename rationale: release-please tags use the package-name + the
component prefix; "template-vertical" matches the repo identity (and
the user's question preview).
First release-please PR after this lands will sweep all subsequent
post-baseline commits into 0.1.1 / 0.2.0 bumps as appropriate.

The docs/ tree had no index — a fresh visitor landing at /docs/
through GitHub's file browser would see just a glossary.md and four
subdirectories with no orientation.
docs/README.md gives:
- Where to start (CLAUDE.md + AGENTS.md links + glossary.md as the
"resolve a term" entry point)
- The full directory tree annotated with what each path holds
- Doc-type table (Glossary / Architecture / ADR / Guide / PRD /
Epic-Story-Task) with lifetime expectations
- "When to put what where" routing rules (new decisions -> ADR,
new how-to -> guide, new term -> glossary, new initiative ->
PRD, new diagram -> architecture/<name>-explainer.html)
- Conventions section codifying the rules already followed
implicitly across the existing docs
No content is duplicated — every section either lists or routes to
existing files. Adds the missing navigation surface so the docs/
tree is discoverable from any entry point.
