A release checklist for WordPress plugins. WordPress is a website platform, and a plugin adds functionality to it; this tool keeps the plugin version consistent across its code, readme, changelog, and translation file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when bumping a plugin version, updating release notes, or preparing a new WordPress plugin release.
Why use it?
It prevents different files from reporting different versions during a release. It also applies version-number rules for feature changes, fixes, and breaking changes.

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

wp-plugin-release 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 8d 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.

WordPress Plugin Release / Version Sync

Model note: Mechanical file edits — works well on haiku. No reasoning across ambiguous code; all sources are explicit (header, constant, readme.txt, changelog).

Bump a WP plugin version coherently. Prevents the classic drift where the plugin header says one version, the readme.txt Stable tag another, and the .pot a third.

When to use

  • "Release X.Y.Z", "bump the version", "update the changelog / readme.txt".
  • After substantial work has landed under an unreleased version.

Not for: WP.org SVN deploy (trunk/tags/assets push) — use wp-org-submission. First-time plugin submission to the WP.org directory — use wp-org-submission.

First: determine the real current state

git tag                       # any release tags?
gh release list               # any published releases?
grep -n "Version:" *.php       # plugin header
grep -n "_VERSION'" *.php       # version constant
grep -n "Stable tag" readme.txt

If header/constant/Stable-tag disagree, that drift IS the problem — pick the target version and sync all of them. Choose the bump by semver: new backward-compatible features → minor; fixes only → patch; breaking → major. Internal-only refactors (dir rename) don't force a major.

Sources to update (all, in lockstep)

  1. Plugin header * Version: X.Y.Z (main plugin file).
  2. Version constant define( 'PLUGIN_VERSION', 'X.Y.Z' ).
  3. readme.txt Stable tag: X.Y.Z — and Tested up to / Requires PHP if they changed.
  4. readme.txt Changelog — add a = X.Y.Z = block listing what shipped (security, features, fixes), grouped.
  5. readme.txt Upgrade Notice — add = X.Y.Z = one-liner (why upgrade).
  6. .pot — regenerate so Project-Id-Version matches and new strings are captured:
    composer makepot           # or: wp i18n make-pot . languages/<slug>.pot --exclude=...
    

Do NOT bump

  • Schema / DB version (e.g. LicenseModel::$db_version) — independent of plugin version. Only bump when the table actually changed, since it gates data migrations.
  • Historical changelog entries or point-in-time docs.

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.
