What it does

Bump Swift Version is an agent skill from jamesmontemagno/tiny-clips. Bump the version for the TinyClips Swift app across Info.plist, Info-MAS.plist, and project.pbxproj. Use this skill when you need to update the app version (e.g., from 1.8.0 to 1.9.0).

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `bump-swift-version.sh`).

It sits in Mobile, covering iOS development. It works with macOS, C# and Windows. The repository describes itself as: A lightweight macOS & Windows menu bar app for capturing screenshots (PNG), video (MP4), and animated GIFs of a selected screen region. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to update the app version (e.g.
  • From 1.8.0 to 1.9.0)

Example prompts

  • “/bump-swift-version”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Request the version bump in chat
  2. Provide the new version in format X.Y.Z (e.g., 1.9.0, 2.0.0). X.Y (e.g., 2.0) is also accepted.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2001cf8. 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 script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bump Swift Version loads about 695 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 322 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~695

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 Swift App Version

This skill updates the TinyClips macOS app version across all version configuration files in a single command.

What it does

The skill automatically updates the following files with the new version number:

  • mac/TinyClips/Info.plist - CFBundleShortVersionString
  • mac/TinyClips/Info-MAS.plist - CFBundleShortVersionString (Mac App Store variant)
  • mac/TinyClips.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj - All 4 MARKETING_VERSION entries (Debug/Release for Direct and MAS builds)

When to use

  • When preparing a new release of the TinyClips macOS app
  • When you need to update the version before building or submitting to the Mac App Store
  • To keep all version references in sync across the project

How to use

  1. Request the version bump in chat:

    /bump-swift-version 1.9.0
  2. Provide the new version in format X.Y.Z (e.g., 1.9.0, 2.0.0). X.Y (e.g., 2.0) is also accepted.

Files included

  • bump-swift-version.sh - Shell script that performs the version updates

Step-by-step procedure

When asked to bump the Swift version:

  1. Run the script from the repository root. It validates the version format and updates all three files together: if any of them cannot be updated, it fails and leaves all three untouched:
    bash
    .github/skills/bump-swift-version/bump-swift-version.sh 1.9.0
  2. Verify changes - git diff --stat should show exactly the three files above with 6 changed lines (one per plist, four in project.pbxproj)
  3. Open a pull request, if one was requested - Validate both mac schemes as described in .github/copilot-instructions.md, commit the three files as Bump macOS version to X.Y.Z, and create the PR

Always use the script instead of editing the plists with PlistBuddy -c "Set ..." or plutil -replace. Those rewrite the whole file and reorder its keys; the script changes only the version line.

Example

Request:

Bump the Swift app version to 1.9.0

Result:

  • Info.plist: CFBundleShortVersionString = 1.9.0
  • Info-MAS.plist: CFBundleShortVersionString = 1.9.0
  • project.pbxproj: All MARKETING_VERSION = 1.9.0

Notes

  • The version format must be X.Y.Z or X.Y (e.g., 1.9.0, 1.10.2, 2.0)
  • This updates both the direct distribution and Mac App Store variant
  • All 4 build configurations (Debug Direct, Release Direct, Debug MAS, Release MAS) are updated
  • Changes are made directly to the files; no commit is created automatically
