FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically determine the correct semantic version bump for Claude Code plugins?

You can automatically determine semantic version bumps by running this skill after making codebase changes. It assesses the impact of your updates and calculates the appropriate version tier (major, minor, or patch) for your plugins.

How does automated semantic versioning compliance work for plugin.json and marketplace.json files?

Automated semantic versioning compliance works by evaluating Git changes in your local environment and directly updating the version fields within your plugin.json and marketplace.json files to reflect the new version tier.

Do I need Git access to automate version bumps for my development workflow?

Yes, you need Git access. The skill requires the ability to execute Git commands within your local Claude Code environment to successfully identify codebase changes and apply the necessary version bumps.

What is the best way to manage semantic versioning for Claude Code skills without manual checks?

The best way to manage semantic versioning without manual checks is integrating an automated version bumping tool into your development workflow. This ensures consistent version updates immediately after you modify a skill or plugin.

Why does my semantic version bump calculation fail when updating my local codebase?

Your semantic version bump calculation may fail if the skill cannot execute Git commands or access your local Claude Code environment. Proper local environment setup and Git repository access are required for accurate impact assessment.

Can I use automated version bumping for both Claude Code plugins and skills?

Yes, you can use automated version bumping for both. The skill identifies changes across both Claude Code plugins and skills, automatically applying the correct semantic version bump based on the assessed impact.
