plan-forge version.instructions.md

Version-management instructions for .NET projects using semantic versioning: MAJOR, MINOR, PATCH, and BUILD numbers show the scale of changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting version-bump rules, increasing build numbers, and tagging releases.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork from choosing version numbers and links releases to commit messages and builds.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

plan-forge version.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Version Management (.NET)

Versioning Scheme

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.BUILD
  3  .  7  .  2  . 142
Segment When to Increment Trigger
MAJOR Breaking API changes Manual approval required
MINOR New features (backward-compatible) feat: commit prefix
PATCH Bug fixes, performance, refactors fix: / perf: / refactor: prefix
BUILD Every build (auto-increment) docs: / chore: / test: / ci: / style:

Commit Message → Version Bump

Commit Prefix Version Impact Example
feat: MINOR +1 3.6.0.0 → 3.7.0.0
fix: / perf: / refactor: PATCH +1 3.6.5.0 → 3.6.6.0
docs: / chore: / test: / style: / ci: BUILD +1 3.6.5.418 → 3.6.5.419
feat!: / BREAKING CHANGE: Requires manual MAJOR bump Approval workflow

Implementation with Directory.Build.props

<Project>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <VersionPrefix>3.7.2</VersionPrefix>
    <VersionSuffix></VersionSuffix>
    <!-- BUILD number auto-incremented by CI or build script -->
    <FileVersion>$(VersionPrefix).$(BuildNumber)</FileVersion>
    <InformationalVersion>$(VersionPrefix)+$(GitCommitHash)</InformationalVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Version Endpoint

Expose version info at runtime:

app.MapGet("/api/version", () => new
{
    Version = typeof(Program).Assembly.GetName().Version?.ToString(),
    Informational = typeof(Program).Assembly
        .GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute>()?.InformationalVersion,
    Environment = app.Environment.EnvironmentName
});

Rules

  • NEVER manually edit version numbers in .csproj — use build scripts
  • ALWAYS use conventional commit prefixes to drive version bumps
  • ALWAYS tag releases: git tag v3.7.0 after MINOR/MAJOR bumps
  • MAJOR bumps require explicit approval — never automatic
  • CI pipeline reads commit messages and calls appropriate bump script
  • InformationalVersion should include Git SHA for traceability

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
