Instructions

Bumping Version

When user wants to increment version:

  1. Detect current version from project files
  2. Parse semantic version (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)
  3. Increment appropriate component:
    • major: Breaking changes (1.0.0 → 2.0.0)
    • minor: New features (1.0.0 → 1.1.0)
    • patch: Bug fixes (1.0.0 → 1.0.1)
  4. Update all version files

Execute:

!{bash plugins/01-core/skills/version-management/scripts/bump-version.sh major} !{bash plugins/01-core/skills/version-management/scripts/bump-version.sh minor} !{bash plugins/01-core/skills/version-management/scripts/bump-version.sh patch}

Generating Changelog

When user wants changelog:

  1. Get commits since last tag
  2. Parse conventional commit messages
  3. Categorize by type (feat, fix, docs, etc.)
  4. Format as markdown with links

Execute:

!{bash plugins/01-core/skills/version-management/scripts/generate-changelog.sh}

Creating Release

When user wants to create release:

  1. Validate no uncommitted changes
  2. Bump version
  3. Update changelog
  4. Create git commit
  5. Create git tag
  6. Display next steps (push, publish)
