What it does

Version Bump is an agent skill from agentculture/culture. Bump the semver version in pyproject.toml (major, minor, or patch) and prepend a Keep-a-Changelog entry to CHANGELOG.md. Use when preparing a release, before creating a PR (the version-check CI job blocks merge if you don't), or when the user says "bump version", "release", or "increment version".

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/bump.py`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: Culture turns isolated stochastic agents into cooperative, inspectable, improvable artificial colleagues. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d5b5715. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Version Bump loads about 640 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~640

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

name: version-bump
description: Bump the semver version in pyproject.toml (major, minor, or patch) and prepend a Keep-a-Changelog entry to CHANGELOG.md.

Version Bump

Bump the semver version in pyproject.toml and prepend a new entry to CHANGELOG.md. Mirrors the AgentCulture workflow used by culture, afi-cli, cfafi, and other org repos; vendored here so the repo is self-contained.

Usage

Run from the repo root.

bash

# With changelog content (pipe JSON via stdin):
echo '{"added":["New X"],"changed":["Refactored Y"],"fixed":["Bug in Z"]}' \
  | python3 .claude/skills/version-bump/scripts/bump.py minor

# Without changelog content (inserts empty ### Added/Changed/Fixed stubs):
python3 .claude/skills/version-bump/scripts/bump.py patch

# Check current version without bumping:
python3 .claude/skills/version-bump/scripts/bump.py show

Bump Types

Type	Example	When to use
`major`	0.1.0 → 1.0.0	Breaking changes, namespace restructures, CLI surface breaks
`minor`	0.1.0 → 0.2.0	New features, new commands, new modules
`patch`	0.1.0 → 0.1.1	Bug fixes, doc updates, dependency bumps, CI-only changes
`show`	prints `0.1.0`	Read-only — no files changed

Changelog JSON Format

Pass via stdin. All fields are optional — only non-empty sections are rendered.

json

{
  "added":   ["List of new features"],
  "changed": ["List of changes to existing functionality"],
  "fixed":   ["List of bug fixes"]
}

What it touches

pyproject.toml — the version = "x.y.z" field (single source of truth; culture/__init__.py reads it via importlib.metadata, so there's no separate __version__ literal to keep in sync).
CHANGELOG.md — inserts a new ## [x.y.z] - YYYY-MM-DD entry at the top.

The script does the rest. Pick a bump type from the diff (patch for fixes, minor for new features, major for breaking changes), summarize the diff into added / changed / fixed lists, pipe as JSON, and commit the resulting pyproject.toml + CHANGELOG.md alongside the code change so the version-check CI job sees a consistent bump.
