Show or bump the project's CalVer version. An agent skill from Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli.

  • Calls bun and git
  • Set the skills version

What it does

Calver is an agent skill from Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli. Show or bump the project's CalVer version. Use when user says "calver", "bump version", "what version", or wants to check or set the skills version. For the full release flow (commit + push + PR) use /release-alpha or /release-stable instead — /calver alone never commits, pushes, or PRs.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: Install Oracle skills to Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and 12+ AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User says calver
  • Set the skills version

Example prompts

  • “s CalVer version. Use when user says”
  • “bump version”
  • “what version”
  • “/calver”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9feea09. 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:

    • bun
    • 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

Calver loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 494 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

/calver

Compute / bump the CalVer version for arra-oracle-skills-cli.

⚠️ Pair with the right skill. This skill is --check (read-only) or --apply (writes package.json and stops). It does NOT commit, push, or PR — that's deliberate so a bump can never accidentally cut a release.

Want to…Use
See the next target version/calver (default = --check)
Just bump package.json and stop/calver --apply
Cut a soak release (alpha pre-release)/release-alpha
Cut a stable release on main/release-stable
Land a code fix without releasingregular branch + PR — keep package.json version untouched

Never combine a package.json bump with a code fix in the same commit on this repo — calver-release.yml auto-tags on push to main, so a fix-PR with a bump = automatic stable release.

CalVer scheme: v{yy}.{m}.{d}[-(alpha|beta).{HMM}] — HMM is the wall-clock as decimal H*100 + M with no leading zero (e.g. 09:37 → 937, 23:59 → 2359). Each minute is a unique slot — no merge-order collisions. Alpha and beta are independent channels (#754 / PR #783). Walks git tags AND package.json.version for source-of-truth (#784 / PR #786). TZ fixed to Asia/Bangkok. HMM replaced monotonic counter (#766/#775) in #923.

Day-of-month D may exceed 31 — used as a stable counter once natural date is exhausted (#930). E.g. v26.4.50 is the 50th stable cut in the period, not "April 50".

Step 0: Locate arra-oracle-skills-cli

Always resolve repo via ghq so the skill works from any cwd:

bash
ARRA=$(ghq list -p --exact Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli 2>/dev/null | head -1)
if [ -z "$ARRA" ]; then
  echo "❌ arra-oracle-skills-cli not found via ghq. Run: ghq get github.com/Soul-Brews-Studio/arra-oracle-skills-cli"
  exit 1
fi
echo "🕐 $(date '+%H:%M %Z (%A %d %B %Y)')"
echo "📁 $ARRA"

Modes

Default — dry-run check (show next target)
bash
TZ=Asia/Bangkok bun "$ARRA/scripts/calver.ts" --check

Shows the next target version (max(tag-walk, package.json) + 1 for today's date+channel). No files modified.

--apply — bump package.json
bash
TZ=Asia/Bangkok bun "$ARRA/scripts/calver.ts"

Writes the next version to package.json. Caller then:

bash
git -C "$ARRA" add package.json && git -C "$ARRA" commit -m "bump: v<version>"

Do NOT auto-commit — hand off to user so they can bundle with other changes.

--stable — cut stable (no alpha/beta suffix)
bash
TZ=Asia/Bangkok bun "$ARRA/scripts/calver.ts" --stable
--beta — cut beta (parallel channel, independent counter)
bash
TZ=Asia/Bangkok bun "$ARRA/scripts/calver.ts" --beta

--stable and --beta are mutually exclusive (script exits 2).

Show full SKILL.md (204 more words)Show less
--hour N — REMOVED

The --hour flag is deprecated as of #766 and will exit 2. CalVer now uses a monotonic counter walked from git tags + package.json — there is no hour-bucket to override.

--help — print calver.ts help
bash
TZ=Asia/Bangkok bun "$ARRA/scripts/calver.ts" --help

After apply

Stop. Hand off to the user. Do NOT auto-commit, do NOT push, do NOT open a PR. The whole point of /calver being read-only-or-stop-after-write is so a bump can never accidentally turn into a release.

If the user wants to ship the bump, they invoke a release skill:

Next steps (user runs one of these — not /calver):
  /release-alpha    — soak channel, PR to alpha, calver-release.yml cuts pre-release on merge
  /release-stable   — stable channel (planned), PR to main, calver-release.yml cuts stable on merge

If the user is doing code-only work (no release), tell them to revert the package.json change before opening the PR. Bumping in a non-release branch is the exact failure mode /release-alpha was built to prevent.

Notes

  • The calver.ts script is authoritative. Do NOT hand-compute versions.
  • Release workflow: calver-release.yml tags on push to main when package.json version differs from latest tag. Post-#767, alphas merge to alpha branch (no tags created until stable cut to main); the script handles this by walking package.json (#784 / PR #786).
  • Spec: ψ/inbox/2026-04-18_proposal-calver-skills-cli.md (mawjs-oracle vault).
  • Umbrella issue: #526 (maw-js — original); #284 (arra-oracle-skills-cli — this port).
  • Related changes today (2026-04-28): #775 (monotonic counter), PR #783 (--beta channel for #754), PR #786 (package.json walk for #784).
