pr-version-bump

Automate semantic version bumps by analyzing git changes since main to determine MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH increments based on conventional commit signals. This Skill computes the appropriate bump level and applies it directly to your version files.

Generate a changelog entry for a release PR by drafting release notes aligned with the Keep a Changelog style. The Skill analyzes commits since main and keeps changelog formats in sync with the version bump decision.

Conventional commit analysis determines semver increments by parsing commit messages since main to identify breaking changes, new features, or patches. It then maps these signals to the appropriate MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH version bump.

You can prepare a release branch and PR scaffold automatically by running the Skill in Prepare mode. It updates version files, commits changes, pushes the feature branch, and generates a PR scaffold ready for review.

The version bump tool works with existing git release workflows by analyzing changes on a feature branch since main. It integrates into your process by applying version updates, drafting changelog entries, and preparing the branch for PR creation without external dependencies.

You should avoid automated semver bump decisions when your commit messages do not follow conventional commit standards, as the Skill relies on these signals to accurately determine MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH increments from git changes.
