version-bump-advisor

version-bump-advisor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from murphytrueman/design-system-ops. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,811 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide that recommends whether a design-system change should be a major, minor, or patch version under semantic versioning. It also explains the decision and drafts a changelog entry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess a git diff, pull-request description, planned change, or API modification and determine the appropriate release version and consumer notes.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to decide whether a change breaks existing users, adds functionality, or only fixes an issue, reducing release-version debates.

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

version-bump-advisor 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 5d 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.

Version Bump Advisor

Context

Design system versioning is a persistent source of team friction. Breaking changes are called minor because they "just affect two components." Minor improvements trigger unnecessary major bumps because someone worries about change. And the reasoning is never written down, so every release prompts the same debate.

This skill removes the subjectivity by applying a consistent classification framework to every change, then generating a changelog entry and reasoning that the team can trust. When the next release ships, there's a record of why it was a major and what consumers need to change.

Steps

1. Accept and Classify Input

Accept input in any form: git diff output, PR description, a list of changes in natural language, or direct conversation about planned changes.

For each change, classify it into exactly one category:

  • Breaking (→ major): removed prop/component/token, renamed API surface, changed default behaviour, changed type signature, removed CSS custom property, changed token value that consumers depend on, removed variant or variant option, removed CSS class or changed its selector specificity
  • Minor (→ minor): new prop, new component, new token, new variant, added optional parameter, new CSS custom property, expanded type union, new variant option, added optional CSS class without removing existing classes
  • Patch (→ patch): bug fix (fix for unintended behaviour), documentation update, internal refactor with no API change, dependency update, performance improvement with no API change

Be strict about classifications. Misclassifying a breaking change as a patch or minor is worse than over-bumping. If you are unsure, err toward breaking.

2. Determine the Semver Bump

The highest-severity change wins. If there is one breaking change and five patches, the bump is major. If there are five minors and zero breaking changes, the bump is minor.

Document the change count by type (X breaking, Y minors, Z patches) so the team sees the composition of the release. Example: "This release includes 1 breaking change, 3 new features (minors), and 2 bug fixes (patches). Bump: major."

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.
