template-version-management

template-version-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from d-o-hub/github-template-ai-agents. It costs 131 tokens per session (2,049 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for managing releases in a template repository, where one repository provides starting files for other projects. It explains how the VERSION file, changelog, and documentation badges relate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when releasing a new template version, fixing stale badges, reviewing version-related changes, or explaining the template’s versioning process.
Why use it?
It prevents contributors from confusing the template’s own release number with the default version used by projects created from it. It also helps keep version references and badges accurate.

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

template-version-management 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 4d 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.

Template Version Management

Versioning in a template repository follows a different mental model than a regular project. VERSION is the consumer-side default (always 0.0.0); the template's own release history is canonical in .template/CHANGELOG-TEMPLATE.md; only README.md displays a template version badge; and the existing scripts (propagate-version.sh, bump_patch_version.sh) are general-purpose utilities that downstream consumers reuse unchanged.

When to Use

  • Bumping the template's own release version (e.g., 0.2.10 → 0.3.0)
  • Fixing a stale template version badge in README.md, QUICKSTART.md, or agents-docs/MIGRATION.md
  • Adding or updating version references when introducing a new doc file
  • Answering "what's the template version" / "why is VERSION 0.0.0" / "where does the template version come from"
  • Reviewing PRs that touch VERSION, .template/CHANGELOG-TEMPLATE.md, or any version badge
  • Onboarding contributors to the template's version flow

The Mental Model

.template/CHANGELOG-TEMPLATE.md  →  template release history (the canonical source)
README.md              →  only doc with a template version badge
VERSION                →  consumer-side default (0.0.0 for templates,
                          project version for downstream consumers)
scripts/propagate-version.sh
                       →  reads VERSION, propagates to README + CHANGELOG.md
                       →  general-purpose; works for any consumer project
scripts/bump_patch_version.sh
                       →  reads VERSION, appends a new entry to
                          .template/CHANGELOG-TEMPLATE.md, then runs propagate-version.sh
                       →  general-purpose; downstream consumers use it on
                          their own CHANGELOG.md, not .template/CHANGELOG-TEMPLATE.md

Key rule: scripts are primary. They are designed for downstream consumer codebases and must keep their VERSION-based design unchanged. The template's own version lives in .template/CHANGELOG-TEMPLATE.md; the scripts and the template version are decoupled by design.

What ships with it

3 files 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.
