## Description

Use when preparing, publishing, or checking readiness for a Kotlin library release, including verifying its gradle-maven-publish-plugin prerequisite, reconciling changelogs and API snapshots, and checking publication.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Release Kotlin library

## Core principle

Publish the prepared, validated, user-approved release commit and call the release complete
only after verifying its artifacts and Git state.

## Prerequisite

This skill relies on `gradle-maven-publish-plugin` (`com.vanniktech.maven.publish`)
for library publication, whether run locally or through tag-triggered CI.
API snapshot support assumes Metalava-generated `api/api.txt` files; disable
snapshots when the repository does not maintain them.
