find-release-for-commit - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: find-release-for-commit description: Find which Dart/Flutter releases contain a specific commit sha.

Instructions

Use this skill to determine which releases a specific commit SHA (Dart or Flutter) first appeared in. This is useful for identifying the earliest SDK version that includes a given feature, fix, or change.

Tool Usage

Run the tools/find_release.dart script from the root of the SDK (../../../ relative to this file) to discover the releases for a given commit SHA.

dart tools/find_release.dart --commit=<sha> --channel=<channel>

Arguments

--commit=<sha> (required): The SHA of the commit.
--channel=<dev|beta|stable> (required): The channel to search in.

Example

To find which releases contain commit abcdef123... on the stable channel:

dart tools/find_release.dart --commit=abcdef123... --channel=stable

The output will include:

Whether the commit was found in the Dart or Flutter repository.
The lowest (earliest) git release tag containing that commit.
The corresponding official Flutter release (if found).
The corresponding official Dart SDK release (if found).

Important Considerations

Git Tags vs. Official Releases: The tool first identifies the lowest git tag that includes the commit. However, the presence of a tag (especially a -dev tag) does not guarantee that an official SDK release has being published for that version.
Verification: You should look for the "Lowest Dart release" or "Lowest Flutter release" in the tool's output to confirm that the commit has actually reached a released state. If the tool reports "No Dart releases found that were newer than ", then the commit has not yet reached any official released version on that channel.
Reporting: When communicating the findings, distinguish clearly between the git tag it first appeared in and the earliest official release (if any).
