What this skill does
BuildSpace Release Workflows Skill Use this skill to set up or debug BuildSpace-powered release automation in repositories that use reusable GitHub Actions workflows. What BuildSpace Provides BuildSpace has two layers: Workflows: full release pipelines under .github/workflows/. Blocks: reusable composite actions under .github/blocks/ for custom pipelines. Default recommendation: use a prebuilt workflow unless the user explicitly needs custom behavior. Workflow Selection Pick exactly one primary workflow based on project type: Project type Workflow file Trigger --- --- --- Rust binary/library rust-service-release.yaml PR label release TypeScript/JavaScript single package typescript-service-release.yaml PR label release TypeScript monorepo (multiple packages) typescript-monorepo-release.yaml PR label release Go binary go-service-release.yaml PR label release Swift macOS .pkg (with compiled binary) swift-release.yml PR label release macOS .pkg without binary (payload/scripts only) pkg-release.yml PR label release macOS .pkg PR build (payload/scripts only) pkg-release-pr.yml Every PR commit Swift macOS .pkg PR build previews swift-pkg-pr.yml Every PR commit macOS dylib release (Xcode workspace) dylib-release.yml PR label release macOS dylib release (Makefile) makefile-dylib-release.yml PR label release Generic release (version + GitHub Release only) release.yaml PR label release README freshness check on PRs check-readme.yaml Every PR Skills documentation freshness check on PRs check-skills.yaml Every PR Required Inputs, Secrets, and Permissions Always verify these before writing YAML: 1.
