-
-## Usage Patterns
-
-### 1. Coordinated Release Preparation
-```javascript
-// Initialize release management swarm
-mcp__claude-flow__swarm_init { topology: "hierarchical", maxAgents: 6 }
-mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coordinator", name: "Release Coordinator" }
-mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "tester", name: "QA Engineer" }
-mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "reviewer", name: "Release Reviewer" }
-mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "coder", name: "Version Manager" }
-mcp__claude-flow__agent_spawn { type: "analyst", name: "Deployment Analyst" }
-
-// Create release preparation branch
-mcp__github__create_branch {
-  owner: "ruvnet",
-  repo: "ruv-FANN",
-  branch: "release/v1.0.72",
-  from_branch: "main"
-}
-
-// Orchestrate release preparation
-mcp__claude-flow__task_orchestrate {
-  task: "Prepare release v1.0.72 with comprehensive testing and validation",
-  strategy: "sequential",
-  priority: "critical"
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Multi-Package Version Coordination
-```javascript
-// Update versions across packages
-mcp__github__push_files {
-  owner: "ruvnet",
-  repo: "ruv-FANN", 
-  branch: "release/v1.0.72",
-  files: [
-    {
-      path: "claude-code-flow/claude-code-flow/package.json",
-      content: JSON.stringify({
-        name: "claude-flow",
-        version: "1.0.72",
-        // ... rest of package.json
-      }, null, 2)
-    },
-    {
-      path: "ruv-swarm/npm/package.json", 
-      content: JSON.stringify({
-        name: "ruv-swarm",
-        version: "1.0.12",
-        // ... rest of package.json
-      }, null, 2)
-    },
-    {
-      path: "CHANGELOG.md",
-      content: `# Changelog

-## Release Strategies
-
-### 1. **Semantic Versioning Strategy**
-```javascript
-const versionStrategy = {
-  major: "Breaking changes or architecture overhauls",
-  minor: "New features, GitHub integration, swarm enhancements", 
-  patch: "Bug fixes, documentation updates, dependency updates",
-  coordination: "Cross-package version alignment"
-}
-```
-
-### 2. **Multi-Stage Validation**
-```javascript
-const validationStages = [
-  "unit_tests",           // Individual package testing
-  "integration_tests",    // Cross-package integration
-  "performance_tests",    // Performance regression detection
-  "compatibility_tests",  // Version compatibility validation
-  "documentation_tests",  // Documentation accuracy verification
-  "deployment_tests"      // Deployment simulation
-]
-```
-
-### 3. **Rollback Strategy**
-```javascript
-const rollbackPlan = {
-  triggers: ["test_failures", "deployment_issues", "critical_bugs"],
-  automatic: ["failed_tests", "build_failures"],
-  manual: ["user_reported_issues", "performance_degradation"],
-  recovery: "Previous stable version restoration"
-}
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. **Comprehensive Testing**
-- Multi-package test coordination
-- Integration test validation
-- Performance regression detection
-- Security vulnerability scanning
-
-### 2. **Documentation Management**
-- Automated changelog generation
-- Release notes with detailed changes
-- Migration guides for breaking changes
-- API documentation updates
-
-### 3. **Deployment Coordination**
-- Staged deployment with validation
-- Rollback mechanisms and procedures
-- Performance monitoring during deployment
-- User communication and notifications
-
-### 4. **Version Management**
-- Semantic versioning compliance
-- Cross-package version coordination
-- Dependency compatibility validation
-- Breaking change documentation
-
-## Integration with CI/CD
-
-### GitHub Actions Integration:
