What it does
Bump Version is an agent skill from SSWConsulting/SSW.VerticalSliceArchitecture. Bump the SSW.VerticalSliceArchitecture.Template NuGet package version to cut a new release. Use when the user says "bump the version", "cut a release", "release a new version", "publish a new package version", or similar for this template repo. Edits the version in VerticalSliceArchitecture.nuspec — which is what triggers the publish — but never pushes or opens a PR.
Its SKILL.md is about 840 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 .NET and Git. The repository describes itself as: An enterprise ready solution template for Vertical Slice Architecture. This template is just one way to apply the Vertical Slice Architecture. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user says bump the version
- Release a new version
- Publish a new package version
- Similar for this template repo
Example prompts
- “bump the version”
- “cut a release”
- “release a new version”
- “/bump-version”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Packs the template with nuget pack.
- Pushes the .nupkg to NuGet.org.
- Reads from the nuspec and creates a matching git tag.
- Publishes a GitHub release on that tag with auto-generated notes.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 42e7a70. 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:
gitdotnetgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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
Bump Version loads about 841 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 435 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

What "bump the version" means in this repo
This repo is a dotnet new template published to NuGet as SSW.VerticalSliceArchitecture.Template. The release is push-triggered, not tag-triggered.
.github/workflows/package.yml runs only when a push to main changes VerticalSliceArchitecture.nuspec. When it does, it:
- Packs the template with
nuget pack. - Pushes the
.nupkgto NuGet.org. - Reads
<version>from the nuspec and creates a matching git tag. - Publishes a GitHub release on that tag with auto-generated notes.
So the <version> value in VerticalSliceArchitecture.nuspec is the release. Changing it and merging to main ships a new package. Nothing else cuts a release.
Versioning scheme: CalVer
Versions are calendar dates, YYYY.MM.DD (e.g. 2025.12.10, 2026.06.12). There is no SemVer major/minor/patch decision — the new version is simply today's date.
To find the latest published version, use gh release view --json tagName -q .tagName — that's authoritative. Don't trust git tag --sort=-v:refname | head: the repo has both v-prefixed and bare tags (v2025.10.24 and 2025.12.10), and the mixed namespace makes that sort return a stale tag above the real latest.
Steps
- Read the current
<version>fromVerticalSliceArchitecture.nuspec. - Compute today's date as
YYYY.MM.DD. That is the new version. - Guard against a same-day re-release: run
git fetch --tagsfirst (release tags are created by CI on the remote, so a local-onlygit tagcan miss one shipped earlier today), then check the date isn't already a tag. If it is, a release already shipped today — append a numeric suffix (YYYY.MM.DD.1) or ask the user how they want to disambiguate. Don't silently overwrite. - Update
<version>to the new value. - Refresh
<releaseNotes>: summarise what changed since the last release. The<version>you read in step 1 (before bumping) is the previous release's tag, so use it as the changelog base:git log --oneline <previous-version>..HEAD. Distil that into a short, human summary (one or two sentences). This is the NuGet page blurb — GitHub generates the full PR-list notes separately, so keep it terse. - Run the
humanizerskill over the release-notes prose before finishing (per the repo/global content-writing rule).
Show full SKILL.md (94 more words)Show less
Guardrails
- Don't push. Don't open a PR. Don't merge to
main. Editing the nuspec onmainis what triggers the publish, so that final step is the user's call — leave the change as a reviewable diff. - Only touch
VerticalSliceArchitecture.nuspec. The package versions inDirectory.Packages.propsare unrelated to the template's release version. - Don't edit the workflow.
Verify
The change is metadata only — no build or test impact. Re-read the nuspec diff to confirm the version and notes are right. CI runs nuget pack (which needs mono) on merge, so there's nothing useful to run locally.
