What it does

Update Version is an agent skill from Jxck/sptth. Update project versions and release tag in one consistent flow (Cargo.toml, xtask, docs, and git tag).

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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. It works with Rust and Git. The repository describes itself as: reverse https proxy (https <- sptth) for local development. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/update-version”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Cargo.toml ([package].version)
  2. xtask/Cargo.toml ([package].version)
  3. docs/examples that embed a fixed release version
  4. git annotated tag (vX.Y.Z)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cd865e2. 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:

    • cargo
    • 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

Update Version loads about 660 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 280 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~660

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.

Update project versions and release tag in one consistent flow (Cargo.toml, xtask, docs, and git tag).

update-version Skill

Use this skill when preparing a release version update so crate versions and git tags do not drift.

Goal

Keep release identifiers consistent across:

  1. Cargo.toml ([package].version)
  2. xtask/Cargo.toml ([package].version)
  3. docs/examples that embed a fixed release version
  4. git annotated tag (vX.Y.Z)

Required Inputs

  1. Optional bump kind argument:
    • default: patch (when no argument is given)
    • explicit: minor or major

Required Procedure

  1. Baseline checks
  • Ensure working tree is clean (or changes are intentionally scoped).
  • Read current version from Cargo.toml.
  • Decide target version by bump kind:
    • no argument -> patch bump
    • minor -> minor bump with patch reset to 0
    • major -> major bump with minor/patch reset to 0
  • Confirm target tag vX.Y.Z does not already exist.
  1. Update versioned files
  • Update /Users/jxck/develop/sptth/Cargo.toml to version = "X.Y.Z".
  • Update /Users/jxck/develop/sptth/xtask/Cargo.toml to version = "X.Y.Z".
  • Update fixed release examples in docs (for example README.md VERSION=vX.Y.Z).
  • Do not edit Cargo.lock manually.
  • Refresh lockfile metadata via Cargo commands after manifest updates (for example cargo check --workspace).
  1. Validate
  • Run:
    • cargo run -p xtask -- fmt-check
    • cargo test -q
    • cargo check --workspace
  1. Commit
  • Commit only files changed for version update.
  • Follow docs/commit-message.md.
  • Keep commit message in English.
  1. Tag
  • Create annotated tag vX.Y.Z on the update-version commit.
  • Verify tag points to expected commit.
  1. Push (if requested)
  • Push branch and tag:
    • git push origin main
    • git push origin vX.Y.Z

Command Examples

sh
# bump examples
# /update-version          -> patch bump (default)
# /update-version minor    -> minor bump
# /update-version major    -> major bump

# example computed target: 0.0.4
git tag --list "v0.0.4"
cargo run -p xtask -- fmt-check
cargo test -q
cargo check --workspace
git tag -a v0.0.4 -m "v0.0.4"
git show --no-patch --oneline v0.0.4

Output Format

Provide:

  1. Updated files
  2. Validation results (fmt-check/test/check)
  3. Commit hash
  4. Tag name and tagged commit
  5. Push status (done or pending)

Guardrails

  • Never retag an existing version; bump instead.
  • Do not include unrelated refactors in the update-version commit.
  • If docs mention a fixed version string, keep it aligned with the new tag.
