remove-platform-version

A maintenance workflow for dropping support for an older IntelliJ Platform or Android Studio version and raising the project's minimum supported version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when removing a platform release such as build 251, updating the minimum build, cleaning related verification loops and compatibility code, and checking that the project still compiles.
Why use it?
It coordinates the version change across build settings, CI checks, compatibility code, baselines, issues, and documentation so obsolete support does not remain elsewhere.

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

remove-platform-version 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.

Skill: Remove Platform Version Support

You are tasked with removing support for an older IntelliJ Platform or Android Studio version (e.g., dropping support for 2025.1 / build 251 and raising the lower bound to 2025.2 / build 252).

Objective

Systematically update compatibility ranges, clean up CI verification loops and baseline files, identify and remove obsolete compatibility code or TODOs, check repository issues, and update documentation.


Workflow Instructions

1. Establish Baseline & Identify Target Version

  • Identify the build number being removed (e.g., 251 for 2025.1) and the new lower bound (e.g., 252 for 2025.2).
  • Run ./gradlew testClasses to ensure the project compiles before making changes.

2. Update Compatibility Lower Bound (gradle.properties)

  • Open gradle.properties.
  • Update sinceBuild=<version> to the new lower bound build number (e.g., change sinceBuild=251 to sinceBuild=252).

3. Update CI Verification Script (tool/github.sh)

  • Open tool/github.sh.
  • Locate the VERIFY_BOT verification loop (for version in ...; do).
  • Remove the dropped version number from the list so that ./gradlew verifyPlugin is only run against active versions in the compatibility range.

4. Remove Obsolete Verifier Baseline (tool/baseline/)

  • Check tool/baseline/<version>/ for the removed version directory.
  • Remove the directory and baseline file (e.g., using git rm -r tool/baseline/<version>) so baseline update scripts (tool/update_baselines.sh) do not attempt to verify unsupported versions.

5. Search & Remove Obsolete Code and TODOs

  • Search Codebase: Grep src/ for references to the removed build number or version string (e.g., 251, 2025.1).
  • Check Version Checks: Look for version-specific branches or workarounds (such as in DartPluginVersion.java or UI compatibility shims) that check for the removed version and simplify or remove dead code paths.
  • Check TODOs: Look for comments like TODO: remove when dropping support for <version> or similar workarounds that can now be cleaned up.

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.
