Commit all changes first # 2. Bump version (patch / minor / major) npm version -m "chore: bump version to %s" # 3. Push commit and tag git push && git push --tags ``` CI will automatically run tests, publish to npm, and create a GitHub Release. ## Rules - Always pass `-m "chore: bump version to %s"` to `npm version` - Tag format: `v*` (e.g. `v0.2.0`), this is npm's default - Do NOT manually edit `version` in `package.json` — always use `npm version` - Do NOT manually create tags — `npm version` creates them - Ensure all changes are committed before running `npm version` - CI requires the GitHub repo to be public (for `--provenance`) - npm trusted publishing via OIDC — no `NPM_TOKEN` secret needed, configured on npmjs.com --- > Source: [botiverse/agent-vault](https://github.com/botiverse/agent-vault) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
