SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires PyYAML, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that changes to context packs are tracked, versioned, and communicated effectively, preventing downstream issues and maintaining clarity for consumers.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic Diffing: Compares two versions of a context pack to identify and classify changes (breaking, additive, corrective).
  • Version Recommendation: Suggests appropriate version bumps (Major, Minor, Patch) based on semantic versioning rules.
  • Changelog Generation: Creates human-readable changelogs summarizing the modifications between versions.
  • Use Case: Before releasing an update to a core feature's context pack, use this Skill to generate a diff report and changelog, ensuring all stakeholders understand the impact of the changes.

Quick Start

Use the diffing-and-versioning-context-packs skill to compare the files 'base_pack.yaml' and 'head_pack.yaml'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compare two YAML context pack versions to identify breaking changes?

To compare context pack versions, use this skill to diff 'base_pack.yaml' and 'head_pack.yaml'. It performs semantic diffing by structurally comparing states, vocabulary, user goals, and error taxonomy to classify changes as breaking, additive, or corrective.

What is the best way to generate a changelog for context pack updates?

The best way to generate a changelog for context pack updates is using semantic diffing. This skill compares version files and creates human-readable changelogs summarizing modifications, ensuring stakeholders understand the impact of changes before release.

How does semantic versioning work for API changes in context packs?

Semantic versioning for context pack API changes works by classifying modifications as breaking, additive, or corrective. This skill analyzes structured changes and recommends appropriate version bumps (Major, Minor, or Patch) based on semantic versioning rules.

Do I need PyYAML to use this context pack versioning tool?

Yes, you need PyYAML installed as a dependency to use this context pack versioning tool. It is required for parsing and comparing the YAML context pack files during the semantic diffing and version recommendation process.

Can I automate version increment recommendations for context pack releases?

Yes, you can automate version increment recommendations by comparing context pack files. This skill evaluates structural differences across states, vocabulary, and error taxonomy, then recommends Major, Minor, or Patch version bumps based on semantic versioning rules.
