# AI Coding Agents Release And Distribution Use this skill to design or review how a coding-agent CLI ships and evolves: packaging, install channels, auto-update policy, plugin compatibility, cache versioning, migration strategy, and local footprint management. This skill covers the productization layer that matters once the runtime itself already exists. ## ASCII Flow ```text runtime build | v package artifact binary/app bundle/npm/pip/homebrew + bundled assets + plugin ABI | v release channel dev | canary | stable | enterprise-managed | v install or update compatibility checks + cache migrations + rollback hooks | v post-update verification version, plugin compatibility, migrated state, telemetry, rollback signal ``` ## Quick Reference | Question | Read | Outcome | |----------|------|---------| | How should packaging, updates, and compatibility work? | [`references/packaging-updates-and-compatible-plugins.md`](references/packaging-updates-and-compatible-plugins.md) | Install channels, version policy, plugin compatibility, and release discipline | | How should caches, migrations, and local state evolve safely? | [`references/cache-migrations-and-install-channels.md`](references/cache-migrations-and-install-channels.md) | Cache keys, migration boundaries, rollback posture, and footprint control | | How does OpenAI Codex handle install channels, update targets, app-server packages, and doctor? | [`references/openai-codex-install-update-and-doctor....
