 ```
 
 Once the version is released `@excalibot` will post a comment with the release version.
+
+#### Creating a production release
+
+To release the next stable version follow the below steps
+
+```
+yarn prerelease version
+```
+
+You need to pass the `version` for which you want to create the release. This will make the changes needed before making the release like updating `package.json`, `changelog` and more.
+
+The next step is to run the `release` script
+
+```
+yarn release
+```
+
+This will publish the package.
+
+Right now there are two steps to create a production release but once this works fine these scripts will be combined and more automation will be done.
