versioning-policy

versioning-policy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DanWahlin/ai-agent-board. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,518 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of versioning-policy, MIT.

A set of versioning rules for the Squad SDK and command-line tool, which are published JavaScript packages in one shared repository. It defines how their versions must be formatted and kept in sync.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing package versions, building locally, reviewing pull requests, or releasing the Squad SDK and CLI.
Why use it?
It helps prevent incorrect development or preview versions from reaching shared branches and breaking package dependencies.

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

versioning-policy 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context

Squad is a monorepo with two publishable npm packages (@bradygaster/squad-sdk and @bradygaster/squad-cli) managed via npm workspaces. Version mismatches and prerelease leaks have caused production incidents — most notably PR #640, where a -build.N prerelease version silently broke workspace dependency resolution.

This skill codifies the versioning rules every agent must follow.

1. Version Format

All packages use strict semver: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

  • 0.9.1, 1.0.0, 0.10.0
  • 0.9.1-build.4, 0.9.1-preview.1, 0.8.6.1-preview

No prerelease suffixes on dev or main branches — ever.

2. Prerelease Versions Are Ephemeral

The scripts/bump-build.mjs script creates -build.N versions (e.g., 0.9.1-build.4) for local development testing only.

Rules:

  • -build.N versions are created automatically during local npm run build
  • They are never committed to dev or main
  • The script skips itself in CI (CI=true or SKIP_BUILD_BUMP=1)
  • If you see a -build.N version in a PR diff, it is a bug — reject the PR

3. SDK and CLI Version Sync

Both @bradygaster/squad-sdk and @bradygaster/squad-cli MUST have the same version at all times. The root package.json version must also match.

bump-build.mjs enforces this by updating all three package.json files in lockstep (root + packages/squad-sdk + packages/squad-cli).

If versions diverge, workspace resolution silently breaks (see §4).

4. npm Workspace Semver Footgun

The CLI depends on the SDK via a workspace dependency with a semver range:

"@bradygaster/squad-sdk": ">=0.9.0"

Critical: Per the semver specification, >=0.9.0 does NOT match 0.9.1-build.4.

Semver prerelease versions (anything with a - suffix) are only matched by ranges that explicitly reference the same MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH base with a prerelease comparator. A bare >=0.9.0 range skips all prerelease versions.

What happens: When the local SDK has version 0.9.1-build.4, npm's workspace resolution fails to match the >=0.9.0 range. npm then silently installs a stale published version from the npm registry instead of using the local workspace link. The build succeeds but runs against old SDK code.

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.
