+# AI Automation Support
+
+This document describes the AI automation features added to quick-publish.
+
+## New CLI Options
+
+### `--dry-run`
+Shows what commands would be executed without actually running them. Perfect for AI agents to understand what will happen before execution.
+
+```bash
+# See what would happen with a patch release
+quick-publish --dry-run --release-type patch
+
+# Preview a custom version release
+quick-publish --dry-run --release-type custom --version 1.2.3 --tag beta
+```
+
+### `--yes`
+Skips all interactive prompts and uses provided or default values. Enables fully automated execution.
+
+```bash
+# Automated patch release
+quick-publish --yes --release-type patch
+
+# Automated custom release
+quick-publish --yes --release-type custom --version 1.2.3 --tag latest
+```
+
+### Version and Tag Options
+
+- `--release-type <type>`: `patch`, `minor`, `major`, `prerelease`, or `custom`
+- `--version <version>`: Custom version (required when `--release-type=custom`)
+- `--tag <tag>`: NPM tag (`latest`, `next`, `beta`, or custom tag name)
+
+## AI Usage Examples
+
+### 1. Preview Changes (Dry Run)
+```bash
+# AI can run this to see what would happen
+quick-publish --dry-run --release-type patch
+```
+
+Output:
+```
+[DRY RUN] Would select version: 0.7.2, tag: latest
+[DRY RUN] Would ask: Continue to publish `0.7.2` with tag `latest`? (auto-yes in automated mode)
+
+[DRY RUN] Publish workflow for version 0.7.2 with tag latest:
+[DRY RUN] Would execute: npm version 0.7.2
+[DRY RUN] Would execute: /path/to/conventional-changelog -p angular -r 2 -i CHANGELOG.md -s
+[DRY RUN] Would execute: npm publish --tag=latest
+[DRY RUN] Would execute: git add CHANGELOG.md
+[DRY RUN] Would execute: git commit -m chore%3A%20changelog%200.7.2
+[DRY RUN] Would execute: git push
+[DRY RUN] Would execute: git push origin refs/tags/v0.7.2
+
+[DRY RUN] Publish workflow completed. Use --yes to execute.
+```
+
+### 2. Automated Execution
+```bash
+# AI can run this after confirming with dry-run
+quick-publish --yes --release-type patch
+```
+
+### 3. Custom Version Release
+```bash
+# For specific version requirements
+quick-publish --yes --release-type custom --version 1.0.0 --tag latest
+```
+
+### 4. Beta Release
+```bash
+# For pre-release versions
+quick-publish --yes --release-type prerelease --tag beta
+```
+
+## AI Workflow Recommendation
+
+1. **Analysis Phase**: AI runs with `--dry-run` to understand what will happen
+2. **Confirmation Phase**: AI presents the planned actions to user
+3. **Execution Phase**: AI runs with `--yes` and appropriate parameters
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Analyze
+quick-publish --dry-run --release-type patch
+
+# Step 2: Execute (after user confirmation)
+quick-publish --yes --release-type patch
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+- Missing `--version` with `--release-type=custom` will throw an error
+- Invalid release types will be rejected
+- All validation happens before any commands are executed
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+All existing functionality remains unchanged. The new options are additive and don't affect the interactive mode when not specified.
