What it does

Version Management is an agent skill from relytcloud/pg_ducklake. Versioning, branch, and release policy (semantic versioning, branch-per-minor, tag-per-patch). MUST consult when: deciding a version number, cutting a release, creating a version tag, opening a release/patch branch, or backporting a bug fix.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 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 Debugging. It works with PostgreSQL, Git and SQL. The repository describes itself as: Native lakehouse experience in Postgres powered by DuckDB & Ducklake. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Debugging

Example prompts

  • “/version-management”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Push branch: git branch vX.Y main && git push origin vX.Y
  2. Push tag: git tag vX.Y.0 vX.Y && git push origin vX.Y.0 (release CI runs)
  3. Bump main to the next dev version (vX.(Y+1).0, or v(X+1).0.0 if a

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bc5d4b4. 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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Version Management loads about 455 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~455

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.

Versioning, branch, and release policy (semantic versioning, branch-per-minor, tag-per-patch). MUST consult when: deciding a version number, cutting a release, creating a version tag, opening a release/patch branch, or backporting a bug fix.

Version Management

Semantic versioning v<major>.<minor>.<patch>: major = breaking, minor = new feature, patch = bug fix only. The git tag (vX.Y.Z) and the extension's default_version always agree.

  • main -- next unreleased version; takes anything.
  • branch vX.Y -- one per minor line; bug fixes only, never features.
  • tag vX.Y.Z -- one per patch; immutable. Fix a bad release with a new patch tag, never by re-tagging. Pushing a v* tag is what fires release CI.

Cut a minor release vX.Y.0

Version touchpoints are already X.Y.0 on main (bumped after the previous release). Then three things:

  1. Push branch: git branch vX.Y main && git push origin vX.Y
  2. Push tag: git tag vX.Y.0 vX.Y && git push origin vX.Y.0 (release CI runs)
  3. Bump main to the next dev version (vX.(Y+1).0, or v(X+1).0.0 if a breaking change has landed) -- see touchpoints below.

Ship a patch vX.Y.Z (Z > 0)

  1. Land the fix on main first if the bug is there too; cherry-pick onto each affected vX.Y branch.
  2. On the vX.Y branch, bump touchpoints to X.Y.Z.
  3. Push tag vX.Y.Z (release CI runs).

Version touchpoints

Per bump, in one commit:

  • pg_ducklake/pg_ducklake.control -- default_version.
  • pg_ducklake/sql/pg_ducklake--<old>--<X.Y.Z>.sql -- update script (empty placeholder if the release has no SQL object changes).

Keep one base install script (pg_ducklake--1.0.0.sql); PostgreSQL reaches default_version by installing it and applying the --<old>--<new> chain.
