genericservice bump-skill-version
Updates the version: field in skills/<name>/SKILL.md per the rules in CLAUDE.md → Versioning:
- patch — bug fixes, typo corrections, doc clarifications
- minor — new features, new commands, new sections
- major — breaking changes to script CLI, manifest format, or skill structure
Usage
bash "$CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.claude/skills/bump-skill-version/scripts/bump.sh" <skill-name> <patch|minor|major>
Reports the old and new version. Refuses to run if the working tree has uncommitted changes to the target SKILL.md (so the bump becomes its own atomic edit) — pass --force to override.
When to use
- After editing any file inside
skills/<skill-name>/other than trivial whitespace. - Before committing changes that the agent (or a human reviewer) will publish.
Notes
- Reads and rewrites the YAML frontmatter in place; preserves all other fields.
- The
package-skill.shPostToolUse hook will rebuilddist/<skill-name>.skillautomatically once the SKILL.md is edited.
