Version Bump & Release Workflow

IMPORTANT: You must first plan and write detailed release notes before starting the version bump workflow.

CRITICAL: ALWAYS commit EVERYTHING (including build artifacts). At the end of this workflow, NOTHING should be left uncommitted or unpushed. Run git status at the end to verify.

Preparation

Analyze: Determine if the change is a PATCH (bug fixes), MINOR (features), or MAJOR (breaking) update.

Environment: Identify the repository owner and name (e.g., from git remote -v).

Paths: Verify existence of package.json, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, and plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json.

Workflow

Update: Increment version strings in all configuration files.

Verify: Use grep to ensure all files match the new version.

Build: Run npm run build to generate fresh artifacts.

Commit: Stage all changes including artifacts: git add -A && git commit -m "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z".

Tag: Create an annotated tag: git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Version X.Y.Z".

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

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

Changelog: Regenerate CHANGELOG.md using the GitHub API and the provided script:

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

Sync: Commit and push the updated CHANGELOG.md.

Notify: Run npm run discord:notify vX.Y.Z if applicable.

Finalize: Run git status to ensure a clean working tree.
