What it does

Version Bumper is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute automatically handles semantic version updates across plugin.json and marketplace catalog when user mentions version bump, update version, or release. ensures version consistency in AI assistant-code-plugins repository. Use when appropriate context detected. Trigger with relevant phrases based on skill purpose.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/ARD.md` and `references/PRD.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Mentions version bump
  • Appropriate context detected
  • With relevant phrases based on skill purpose

Example prompts

  • “/version-bumper”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Bash(cmd:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the target plugin directory and read the current version from .claude-plugin/plugin.json using jq -r '.version'.
  2. Determine the bump type (major, minor, or patch) from the user request. If unspecified, infer from the nature of changes: breaking changes…
  3. Parse the current version into its major.minor.patch components and compute the new version according to semver rules (see…
  4. Update the "version" field in .claude-plugin/plugin.json with the new version string.
  5. Locate the plugin entry in .claude-plugin/marketplace.extended.json and update its "version" field to match (see…
  6. Run pnpm run sync-marketplace at the repository root to regenerate marketplace.json.
  7. Verify version consistency across all three files by reading each and confirming the version strings match.
  8. Optionally create a git tag (git tag -a "v" -m "Release v") and prepare a commit message following the chore: Release v convention (see…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Bash(cmd:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • pnpm
    • jq
    • apt
    • brew

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • semver.org

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Version Bumper loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 449 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4k

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.

Version Bumper

Overview

Automates semantic version bumps across all version-bearing files in a Claude Code plugin. Ensures consistency between plugin.json, marketplace.extended.json, and the generated marketplace.json catalog.

Prerequisites

  • jq installed and available on PATH for JSON manipulation
  • Read/write access to .claude-plugin/plugin.json and .claude-plugin/marketplace.extended.json
  • pnpm run sync-marketplace available at the repository root
  • Git installed for optional tag creation

Instructions

  1. Identify the target plugin directory and read the current version from .claude-plugin/plugin.json using jq -r '.version'.
  2. Determine the bump type (major, minor, or patch) from the user request. If unspecified, infer from the nature of changes: breaking changes warrant major, new features warrant minor, and fixes warrant patch.
  3. Parse the current version into its major.minor.patch components and compute the new version according to semver rules (see ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/version-bump-process.md).
  4. Update the "version" field in .claude-plugin/plugin.json with the new version string.
  5. Locate the plugin entry in .claude-plugin/marketplace.extended.json and update its "version" field to match (see ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/update-locations.md).
  6. Run pnpm run sync-marketplace at the repository root to regenerate marketplace.json.
  7. Verify version consistency across all three files by reading each and confirming the version strings match.
  8. Optionally create a git tag (git tag -a "v<new_version>" -m "Release v<new_version>") and prepare a commit message following the chore: Release v<version> convention (see ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/release-workflow.md).

Output

A version bump execution summary containing:

  • The computed transition (old_version to new_version)
  • The exact files updated: .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .claude-plugin/marketplace.extended.json, and regenerated .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
  • Validation confirmation that all files carry the same version
  • Suggested next commands (git add, git commit, git tag, validation scripts)

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
jq: command not foundjq not installedInstall via apt install jq or brew install jq
Version format invalidNon-semver string in plugin.jsonCorrect to x.y.z format before bumping
Plugin not found in marketplaceMissing catalog entryAdd the plugin to marketplace.extended.json first
Sync marketplace failureSchema mismatch or missing fieldsRun jq empty on both JSON files to locate syntax errors
Version mismatch after syncsync-marketplace did not pick up changesVerify the plugin name in marketplace.extended.json matches plugin.json exactly

Examples

Patch bump for a specific plugin: Trigger: "Bump the security-scanner plugin to patch version" Process: Read current version 1.2.3, compute 1.2.4, update plugin.json and marketplace.extended.json, run sync, verify consistency, report success.

Explicit major release: Trigger: "Release version 2.0.0 of plugin-name" Process: Set version to 2.0.0 in all files, sync marketplace, create git tag v2.0.0, prepare commit with chore: Release v2.0.0.

Feature-based minor bump: Trigger: "Increment version for new feature" Process: Detect minor bump, compute 1.2.3 to 1.3.0, update all version locations, sync, validate, report completion.
