semantic-versioning

semantic-versioning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Benkapner/claude-code-basecamp. It costs 60 tokens per session (792 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that reads commit messages to choose the next software version under Semantic Versioning. Semantic Versioning uses major, minor, and patch numbers to describe breaking changes, features, and fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before releases or pushes to analyze commits, suggest a version, update a version file, create a tag, or prepare changelog information.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork from version bumps and ties release size to the changes recorded in Git.

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

semantic-versioning 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/version-bump.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Semantic Versioning

Determine the next version from commit history. Every pushed change gets classified; the highest-impact commit drives the bump.

When to Activate

  • Before or after pushing changes (suggest the version bump)
  • When the user asks "what version should this be?"
  • When preparing a release or tag
  • When reviewing a set of commits for release notes

Version Rules

Follows Semantic Versioning 2.0.0:

Bump Trigger Examples
Major (X.0.0) Breaking change feat!:, fix!:, BREAKING CHANGE: in body/footer
Minor (x.Y.0) New feature feat:, feature:
Patch (x.y.Z) Everything else fix:, chore:, docs:, style:, refactor:, test:, ci:, perf:

The highest bump wins: if any commit is major, the release is major — regardless of how many patches are in the batch.

How to Check

Run the analysis script:

uv run skills/semantic-versioning/scripts/version-bump.py [repo-path]

Options:

  • --apply — update the version file after confirmation
  • --tag — also create a git tag

Version File Detection

The script auto-detects where the version lives:

File Field
pyproject.toml [project] version = "x.y.z"
package.json "version": "x.y.z"
Cargo.toml [package] version = "x.y.z"
VERSION Plain text file

Workflow

  1. Analyze — scan commits since last tag, classify each
  2. Report — show the bump type, commit breakdown, and suggested next version
  3. Confirm — wait for user approval before making changes
  4. Apply (if --apply) — update version file and optionally tag

Never auto-apply version changes without user confirmation.

Commit Format Guide

For best results, follow conventional commits:

<type>[optional scope][!]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

If commits don't follow conventional format, fall back to keyword analysis:

  • Words like "add", "new", "feature" → minor
  • Words like "fix", "bug", "patch", "correct" → patch
  • Words like "breaking", "remove", "drop", "rename API" → major

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
