bump-core-req

bump-core-req is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from gtapps/claude-code-hermit. It costs 139 tokens per session (1,424 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for raising the minimum supported core version of a fleet plugin, a plugin used across a group of related plugins. It updates the three project files where that requirement is recorded.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps maintainers update a plugin's required core version across its metadata and dependency configuration.
Why use it?
It prevents the version requirement from becoming inconsistent between the runtime check, documentation, and plugin resolver. The change is prepared without committing it.

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

bump-core-req 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 today.

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.

bump-core-req

Update a fleet plugin's minimum core version in all three canonical locations.

Background: why three places?

Per this monorepo's conventions (CLAUDE.md → Conventions), the core version requirement lives in:

  1. plugins/<slug>/.claude-plugin/hermit-meta.jsonrequired_core_versionauthoritative, read by doctor-check.ts at runtime to detect incompatible siblings
  2. plugins/<slug>/.claude-plugin/hermit-meta.jsonrequires["claude-code-hermit"] — documentation mirror
  3. plugins/<slug>/.claude-plugin/plugin.jsondependencies[name=claude-code-hermit].version — native Claude Code resolver field

All three must stay in sync. This skill is the single operation that touches all of them atomically. It leaves committing to the operator via /commit.

Usage

/bump-core-req <fleet-slug> [version]
  • <fleet-slug> — directory name of the fleet plugin under plugins/ (e.g. claude-code-fitness-hermit)
  • [version] — optional target version like 1.0.26. If omitted, read plugins/claude-code-hermit/.claude-plugin/plugin.json.version and use that.

Steps

Step 0: Resolve slug

If no slug was passed, or it's invalid:

  1. Glob plugins/*/.claude-plugin/plugin.json. Collect directory names.
  2. Remove claude-code-hermit from the list — that's core, not a fleet plugin.
  3. Ask via AskUserQuestion: "Which fleet plugin to update?" with one option per slug.

If claude-code-hermit was explicitly passed as slug, abort: "Core doesn't depend on itself — pass a fleet plugin slug."

Validate plugins/<slug>/.claude-plugin/hermit-meta.json exists. If not:

Abort: "<slug> has no hermit-meta.json — not a fleet plugin or migration is incomplete."

Step 1: Resolve target version

If version was passed as an argument, strip a leading v if present. Validate the result matches X.Y.Z (digits only, two dots). If it doesn't match, abort with a clear message.

If no version arg, read plugins/claude-code-hermit/.claude-plugin/plugin.json.version. This is the current shipped core version. Report it to the operator: "Autodetected core version: X.Y.Z".

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.
