Version Update Workflow

When to Use

Use this skill when preparing a release or bumping the project version. Run Skill(sanctum:git-workspace-review) first to capture current changes.

Required TodoWrite Items

1. version-update:context-collected
2. version-update:target-files
3. version-update:version-set
4. version-update:docs-updated
5. version-update:verification

Step 1: Collect Context (context-collected)

• Confirm which version to apply (default: bump patch).
• If the prompt provides an explicit version, note it.
• Ensure Skill(sanctum:git-workspace-review) has already captured the repository status.

Step 2: Identify Targets (target-files)

• List configuration files that store the version (e.g., Cargo.toml, package.json, pyproject.toml).
• Include changelog and README references that mention the version.

Step 3: Update Versions (version-set)

• Update each target file with the new version.
• For semantic versions, follow MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH or the specified format.
• If the project supports multiple packages, document each update.

Step 4: Update Documentation (docs-updated)

• Add or update changelog entries with today's date.
• Refresh README and docs references to mention the new version and any release notes.

Step 5: Verification (verification)

• Run relevant builds or tests if version bumps require them (e.g., cargo test, npm test).
• Show git status -sb and git diff excerpts to confirm the version bumps.

Output Instructions

• Summarize the files changed and the new version number.
• Mention follow-up steps, such as publishing or tagging, if applicable.
