What it does

Bump Version is an agent skill from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness. Bump package and plugin version in sync. Updates package.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and install-state manifest to the same version. Use when: user says 'bump version', 'update version', '更新版本', '版本 +1', or /bump-version

Its SKILL.md is about 950 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 Agent Workflows, covering Hooks and plugins. It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: The harness layer for Claude Code — a reference implementation of harness engineering with hook-enforced dual review, state-machine gates that survive context compaction, and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : user says bump version
  • Tasks that involve Hooks and plugins

Example prompts

  • “bump version”
  • “update version”
  • “/bump-version”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Choose the Target
  2. Read Current Versions
  3. Determine New Version
  4. Update All Files
  5. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a4d4bc1. 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:

    • node

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Version loads about 952 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 402 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~952

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 package and plugin version in sync. Updates package.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and install-state manifest to the same version. Use when: user says 'bump version', 'update version', '更新版本', '版本 +1', or /bump-version

Bump Version

Update package.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and .sd0x/install-state.json versions in sync.

Workflow

  1. Choose the target (below) — the plugin, or the agentctl mod
  2. Read current versions from all files
  3. Determine new version (from argument or auto-increment)
  4. Update all files to the same version
  5. Report result

Step 0: Choose the Target

InvocationTargetSteps
/bump-version agentctl [patch|minor|major|<version>]the agentctl mod onlyStep 3b only — the plugin's three files are not read or changed, so no plugin release is triggered
anything elsethe pluginSteps 1–4; Step 3b is not run

Never bump both in one invocation: the plugin and the mod release separately, and a stray change to package.json triggers the plugin's release workflow. When the plugin is bumped and node .github/scripts/agentctl-version.js check reports that the mod changed too, say so and suggest /bump-version agentctl as a separate run.

Step 1: Read Current Versions

bash
grep '"version"' package.json .claude-plugin/plugin.json

Also check manifest:

bash
grep '"plugin_version"' .sd0x/install-state.json 2>/dev/null || echo "(no manifest)"

If versions are already out of sync, warn user before proceeding.

Step 2: Determine New Version

InputAction
Explicit version (e.g., 1.9.0)Use as-is
majorBump major: 1.8.1 → 2.0.0
minorBump minor: 1.8.1 → 1.9.0
patch (default)Bump patch: 1.8.1 → 1.8.2
No argumentDefault to patch

Step 3: Update All Files

Use Edit tool to update version fields:

  1. package.json — "version" field
  2. .claude-plugin/plugin.json — "version" field
  3. .sd0x/install-state.json — "plugin_version" field (if file exists)

All must be set to the exact same version string.

The manifest update prevents the SessionStart drift sentinel from firing false warnings after every version bump in the plugin source repo.

Step 3b: The agentctl mod (/bump-version agentctl, only where mods/agentctl/ exists)

The mod is versioned separately and released under agentctl-v<version> tags. This step runs instead of Steps 1–3, never after them, and only where mods/agentctl/.claude-plugin/plugin.json exists:

  1. Bump "version" in mods/agentctl/.claude-plugin/plugin.json by the Step 2 rules applied to the argument after agentctl, from its own current version — never to the plugin's version
  2. Run node .github/scripts/agentctl-version.js update to record the new version and the mod's digest

Claude Code caches an installed plugin by version, so a mod change shipped under an unchanged version can miss everyone who already installed it; CI fails until the lock is recorded.

Step 4: Report

## Version Bump

| File | Field | Before | After |
|------|-------|--------|-------|
| package.json | version | x.y.z | a.b.c |
| .claude-plugin/plugin.json | version | x.y.z | a.b.c |
| .sd0x/install-state.json | plugin_version | x.y.z | a.b.c |
| mods/agentctl/.claude-plugin/plugin.json | version (only when bumped) | p.q.r | p.q.s |

Prohibited

  • Never set different versions across the plugin's three files (the agentctl mod keeps its own version)
  • Never modify other fields in the version manifests (package.json, the plugin manifests, .sd0x/install-state.json); mods/agentctl/release.json is generated and is written only by agentctl-version.js update
