To synchronize version numbers across a Python project, this Skill automates updating pyproject.toml, uv.lock, env.example, README, CHANGELOG, and deployment scripts simultaneously. It prevents version drift by ensuring all files reflect the new release.

Automating version bumps for APP_VERSION prevents version drift by systematically applying new release numbers across settings, lock files, and documentation. This approach replaces manual edits, ensuring accurate and consistent version reporting throughout the codebase.

Updating CHANGELOG and README versions automatically is handled by running the Skill's version synchronization process before a release. It modifies documentation files alongside code configurations to ensure your README and CHANGELOG reflect the new version accurately.

Yes, this version synchronization approach works with uv.lock and deployment scripts by directly modifying version information within these files. It targets Python project environments utilizing uv for dependency management and includes deployment script updates.

Updating a Python project's version number affects app/settings.py, pyproject.toml, env.example, uv.lock, deployment scripts, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, and about.html templates. The Skill ensures all these specific files receive the version bump.

Yes, self-checking scripts are included to verify version consistency after a release update. The Skill provides commit and PR templates alongside these checks to streamline the release workflow and catch any synchronization errors.
