Bump Apache Fory release or post-release development versions across Java, Kotlin, Scala, Python, Rust, Go, C++, C, Dart, JavaScript, Swift, integration tests, examples, and source docs.

What it does

Fory Version Bump is an agent skill from apache/fory. Bump Apache Fory release or post-release development versions across Java, Kotlin, Scala, Python, Rust, Go, C++, C, Dart, JavaScript, Swift, integration tests, examples, and source docs. Use when preparing a release version, moving main to the next development version, switching install docs to a released version, or auditing Fory version consistency after release scripts run.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Mobile, covering Integration testing, Android development and iOS development. It works with JavaScript, Rust, C++ and Java. The repository describes itself as: A blazingly fast multi-language serialization framework for idiomatic domain objects, schema IDL, and cross-language data exchange. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing a release version
  • Moving main to the next development version
  • Switching install docs to a released version
  • Auditing Fory version consistency after release scripts run

Example prompts

  • “/fory-version-bump”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read AGENTS.md, tasks/lessons.md, .agents/docs-and-formatting.md, and
  2. Record the released and next-development versions in the task file.
  3. For a post-release bump, run
  4. Inspect the complete diff. The helper should update package/build metadata,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dcf8d24. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • rg
    • python
    • prettier

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Fory Version Bump loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 338 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Bump Apache Fory release or post-release development versions across Java, Kotlin, Scala, Python, Rust, Go, C++, C#, Dart, JavaScript, Swift, integration tests, examples, and source docs. Use when preparing a release version, moving main to the next development version, switching install docs to a released version, or auditing Fory version consistency after release scripts run.

Fory Version Bump

Version Intent

Separate these two targets before editing:

  • Released version: use in install docs, examples, and package-manager snippets.
  • Next development version: use in active package and build metadata.

Do not edit fory-site unless the user explicitly includes that repository.

Ecosystem Version Forms

Let ci/release.py normalize the input instead of converting versions by hand.

For input 1.1.0-dev, expected forms are:

SurfaceExpected form
Java, Kotlin, Scala, Maven integration projects1.1.0-SNAPSHOT
Python and compiler packages1.1.0.dev0
Rust packages and path dependency versions1.1.0-alpha.0
Go module dependencies on Foryv1.1.0-alpha.0
JavaScript package versions1.1.0-alpha.0
Dart packages1.1.0-dev
C# package metadata1.1.0-dev
CMake project versions1.1.0
Bazel module version1.1.0
User install docs after a 1.0.0 release1.0.0

Workflow

  1. Read AGENTS.md, tasks/lessons.md, .agents/docs-and-formatting.md, and ./.local/AGENTS.md when present. Review git status --short --branch.
  2. Record the released and next-development versions in the task file.
  3. For a post-release bump, run:
bash
python ci/release.py bump_version -l all -version <next-dev-version> \
  -release-version <released-version>
  1. Inspect the complete diff. The helper should update package/build metadata, source docs, examples, and these historically missed surfaces:
  • MODULE.bazel
  • javascript/package-lock.json
  • integration_tests/idl_tests/kotlin/pom.xml
  • integration_tests/idl_tests/dart/pubspec.yaml
  • integration_tests/idl_tests/rust/Cargo.lock
  • dart/CHANGELOG.md and dart/packages/fory/CHANGELOG.md
  • scala/fory-scala/README.md and scala/fory-json-scala/README.md
  1. Search for stale previous development forms and accidental next-development versions in user-facing docs:
bash
rg -n '<previous-development-version-regex>' \
  --glob '!tasks/**' --glob '!**/target/**' --glob '!**/build/**' \
  --glob '!**/bin/**' --glob '!**/obj/**' --glob '!**/node_modules/**'
rg -n '<next-development-version-regex>' \
  README.md docs csharp/README.md swift/README.md scala/README.md \
  java/README.md rust/README.md dart/packages/fory/README.md examples \
  --glob '!**/target/**' --glob '!**/build/**' --glob '!**/node_modules/**'

Inspect every hit. Keep unrelated third-party versions, benchmark numbers, historical changelog entries, test fixtures, and ignored build outputs unchanged.

  1. Format changed Markdown and check the patch:
bash
prettier --write <changed-markdown-files>
git diff --check

Verification Boundary

Treat a version-only bump as a textual metadata and documentation update. Do not run unit tests, builds, Maven, CMake, Cargo metadata, package-manager validation, or language test suites locally, including through subagents, unless the user explicitly asks. CI owns those checks.

Verify only that:

  • each ecosystem uses the expected version form;
  • install docs use the released version and development metadata uses the next version;
  • changelogs contain the released version before the next development section;
  • no unexplained stale development version remains;
  • formatting and git diff --check pass; and
  • task files are not staged.

Finish

  • Summarize exact version forms used by ecosystem.
  • Note any intentionally retained old version hits.
  • Commit tracked code and documentation changes, excluding task scratch files.
