versioning

versioning is a skill for Claude Code from ncssm-robotics/ftc-claude. It costs 45 tokens per session (972 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-process guide for version numbers in FTC marketplace plugins, which are add-ons for FIRST Tech Challenge robot teams. It explains that an automated release process updates versions instead of contributors editing them directly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing a plugin or preparing a release. It covers changelog entries, the update-skill command, pull requests, and the automated version-bump workflow.
Why use it?
It prevents version numbers from becoming inconsistent across plugin files. It also shows contributors where to record changes and how to submit them safely.

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

versioning 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.

STOP: Do Not Manually Change Version Numbers!

This repository uses an automated release process. Contributors should NEVER manually change version numbers in any file.

Files You Should NOT Edit (Version Fields)

File Field Why Not
plugins/<name>/plugin.json version Release script updates this
plugins/<name>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md metadata.version Release script updates this
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json plugin version Release script updates this

The Correct Workflow

For Contributors

  1. Make your changes to the skill (SKILL.md, scripts, etc.)

  2. Add changelog entries to ## [Unreleased] section in CHANGELOG.md:

    ## [Unreleased]
    
    ### Added
    - New calibration script for pod offset calculation
    
    ### Fixed
    - Corrected coordinate transformation formula
    
  3. Use the update-skill command to help generate entries:

    /update-skill <skill-name>
    
  4. Submit PR to the develop branch

  5. Done! - Versions are bumped automatically during the release process

For Maintainers (Release Process)

  1. Go to GitHub Actions
  2. Run "Prepare Release" workflow
  3. Script automatically:
    • Parses changelog categories (Added → MINOR, Fixed → PATCH, etc.)
    • Calculates new version numbers
    • Updates all three version locations atomically
    • Creates release PR

Why This Matters

Deterministic Versioning

Version bumps are calculated from changelog categories:

Changelog Category Version Bump
### Removed MAJOR (X.0.0)
### Changed MAJOR (X.0.0)
### Added MINOR (0.Y.0)
### Deprecated MINOR (0.Y.0)
### Fixed PATCH (0.0.Z)
### Security PATCH (0.0.Z)

Consistency Guarantee

The release script ensures:

  • All three version locations match
  • Changelog is properly formatted
  • Release notes are generated
  • Git tags are created

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.
