What it does
Version Bump is an agent skill from dmkenney/xamal. Prepare a new Xamal version locally — bump @version in mix.exs, roll the CHANGELOG.md
Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with Elixir. The repository describes itself as: Deploy Elixir apps to bare metal servers. Like Kamal, but with native releases + Caddy instead of Docker. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
Example prompts
- “/version-bump”
Requirements
- A credential in HEX_API_KEY
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Confirm the repo is clean and current. Run git fetch and check the
- Bump @version in mix.exs. Change only the @version "..." attribute
- Roll the changelog. In CHANGELOG.md
- Verify the wiring is still correct (these are derived, not edited — confirm
- Run mix ci. It must pass clean (credo, architecture policy, dialyzer 0
- Report the two files changed (mix.exs, CHANGELOG.md), the version
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 830bd63. 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
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
HEX_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Version Bump loads about 911 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 433 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Version bump
Prepare the repository for a new release locally. This skill never commits,
tags, pushes, or publishes — it only edits files and verifies them. Use the
release skill for the privileged steps (those need push rights / HEX_API_KEY).
Inputs
- The target version (e.g.
0.3.3). If the user didn't give one, infer from the unreleased changes and SemVer, then confirm:- Bug fixes only → patch (
0.3.2→0.3.3) - New backwards-compatible features → minor (
0.3.2→0.4.0) - Breaking changes → major (
0.3.2→1.0.0), or minor while0.x
- Bug fixes only → patch (
- Read the current version from
mix.exs(@version "...").
Steps
Confirm the repo is clean and current. Run
git fetchand check the working tree is clean and the local branch is not behind its remote. If the remote has moved, stop and tell the user to integrate first — tagging a stale commit is the failure mode this skill exists to prevent.Bump
@versioninmix.exs. Change only the@version "..."attribute (line ~4). Everything else (package(),docs(),source_ref) is derived from it — do not touch those.Roll the changelog. In
CHANGELOG.md:- Rename the
## [Unreleased]heading to## [x.y.z]. - Add a fresh empty
## [Unreleased]section above it (so contributors always have a target for the next cycle). - Add a tag-link line at the bottom in the existing style:
[x.y.z]: https://github.com/dmkenney/xamal/releases/tag/vx.y.z - Keep the existing Keep-a-Changelog format (
### Added/Changed/Fixed/Removed, no dates). Do not switch formats. - If
## [Unreleased]is empty, draft entries fromgit log <prev-tag>..HEAD --onelineand the PR titles, then ask the user to review them. Never invent user-facing notes for internal/CI-only commits without flagging them.
- Rename the
Verify the wiring is still correct (these are derived, not edited — confirm they didn't drift):
README.mdinstall snippet uses a~>constraint (e.g.{:xamal, "~> 0.3", ...}). It should only change on a major/minor boundary that moves the constraint, never on a patch. Leave it alone unless the new version crosses that boundary.mix.exsdocs()source_ref: "v#{@version}"andpackage()links still point at the right places (they're derived — just sanity-check).
Run
mix ci. It must pass clean (credo, architecture policy, dialyzer 0 errors, all tests). If it fails, stop and report — do not proceed.Report the two files changed (
mix.exs,CHANGELOG.md), the version delta, and the changelog section that will become the release notes. Then hand off: tell the user the prep is done and thereleaseskill (or a maintainer) handles commit → push → tag → publish.
