What's new in this PR?

Add a skill that can run the playbook of cutting a beta release. https://wearezeta.atlassian.net/wiki/x/n4Aylg

Issues

• docs/beta-releases.md named release-cycle branches with a trailing .0, for example release/cycle-4.37.0. The team names them with the minor line only.

Solutions

• Track the beta-release skill: .agents/skills/beta-release/ (SKILL.md and scripts/beta.sh) and the .claude/skills/beta-release link that Claude Code reads. .gitignore still ignores every other skill and the rest of .claude/.
• beta.sh holds the commands. Read-only commands run at once. Commands that write to GitHub print their plan and stop unless --yes is the last argument. Beta tags are signed.
• Auto-invoke is off. Claude Code reads disable-model-invocation in SKILL.md. Codex reads agents/openai.yaml. The description is one sentence.
• Docs: name branches release/cycle-4.37. One branch carries 4.37.0 and later patch releases such as 4.37.1.

Testing

How to Test

• Cloned this branch into an empty folder. .claude/skills/beta-release resolves, SKILL.md is readable through it, scripts/beta.sh is executable (mode 100755) and beta.sh help prints the usage.
• git status shows the other skills, .claude/plans and AGENTS.md still ignored.
• Ran the read-only commands, the guard refusals and the dry runs against this repo while cutting v4.39.0-beta.1.

Notes

• Colleagues get the skill with git pull. No install step.
• The link needs git symlink support on Windows.
