FAQPage Schema

How do I automate semantic version bumps for marketplace plugins?▼

Semantic version bumping for marketplace plugins automates version updates in marketplace.json according to semver rules. This Skill reads the current version, infers whether a major, minor, or patch bump applies based on context, and updates the file via jq commands to enforce consistent versioning across plugin releases.

Can I bump plugin versions without manually editing marketplace.json?▼

Yes. This Skill bumps plugin versions programmatically by parsing marketplace.json with jq, applying the appropriate semver increment, and writing the new version back—eliminating manual file edits and reducing human error in release workflows.

What's the difference between major, minor, and patch version bumps for plugins?▼

Semantic versioning distinguishes three bump types: major for breaking changes, minor for backward-compatible features, and patch for bug fixes. This Skill infers which bump type applies from release context and applies it consistently to marketplace.json versions.

Do I need jq to use marketplace version bumping?▼

Yes. This Skill depends on jq to parse and update marketplace.json. jq must be installed in your environment to read the current version, apply the semver bump, and validate the updated version before writing.

How do I verify the new version was written after a bump?▼

This Skill includes a confirmation step that reads back the updated marketplace.json and displays the new version, ensuring the bump was applied successfully before proceeding with your release workflow.
