Version Bump & Release Workflow

git status

Preparation

1. Analyze: Determine if the change is a PATCH (bug fixes), MINOR (features), or MAJOR (breaking) update.
2. Environment: Identify the repository owner and name (e.g., from

   git remote -v

   ).
3. Paths: Verify existence of

   package.json

   ,

   .claude-plugin/marketplace.json

   , and

   plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json

   .

Workflow

1. Update: Increment version strings in all configuration files.
2. Verify: Use

   grep

   to ensure all files match the new version.
3. Build: Run

   npm run build

   to generate fresh artifacts.
4. Commit: Stage all changes including artifacts:

   git add -A && git commit -m "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z"

   .
5. Tag: Create an annotated tag:

   git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Version X.Y.Z"

   .
6. Push:

   git push origin main && git push origin vX.Y.Z

   .
7. Release:

   gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z" --notes "RELEASE_NOTES"

   .
8. Changelog: Regenerate

   CHANGELOG.md

   using the GitHub API and the provided script:
   bash

   gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases --paginate | ./scripts/generate_changelog.js > CHANGELOG.md

9. Sync: Commit and push the updated

   CHANGELOG.md

   .
10. Notify: Run

    npm run discord:notify vX.Y.Z

    if applicable.
11. Finalize: Run

    git status

    to ensure a clean working tree.
