FAQPage Schema
How do I automate plugin releases and version bumps for Claude Code?▼

Automating plugin releases and version bumps requires synchronizing updates across plugin.json and marketplace.json configuration files. This skill runs quality checks, creates release branches, and opens pull requests to manage the entire workflow.

What's the best way to bump versions in plugin.json and marketplace.json simultaneously?▼

Bumping versions in plugin.json and marketplace.json simultaneously requires synchronized updates to avoid configuration drift. This skill intelligently increments patch, minor, or major versions across both files before committing and pushing changes.

How to create a release branch and pull request for a new plugin version?▼

Creating a release branch and pull request involves switching to a branch named release/vX.Y.Z, committing version bumps, and pushing to origin. This skill automates the entire process targeting the main branch for pull request creation.

Does the automated release workflow run code quality checks before versioning?▼

Automated release workflows should run code quality checks before versioning to ensure release stability. This skill executes make check to verify code quality before proceeding with version bumps and branch creation.

Can I specify patch, minor, or major version increments for my plugin release?▼

Specifying patch, minor, or major version increments allows controlled semantic versioning for plugin releases. This skill intelligently parses user input to determine the correct version bump level across all configuration files.
