versioning-policy

versioning-policy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sbroenne/mcp-server-excel. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,153 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A versioning policy for publishing stable, preview, insider, and local builds of a shared npm workspace. SemVer, or semantic versioning, is a common format for expressing breaking, feature, and patch changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps manage release channels and update the root project and workspace package versions together.
Why use it?
It prevents package versions from drifting apart and avoids npm using an older published package instead of the local workspace package.

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-policy 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context

Squad publishes @bradygaster/squad-sdk and @bradygaster/squad-cli from one npm workspace. Their versions and the root version move together. A mismatched prerelease dependency can make npm silently resolve an older registry SDK instead of the local workspace.

1. Supported versions

Use Version Committed branch
Stable release MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH main, and briefly dev during promotion
Preview release MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-preview.N dev
Insider snapshot MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-insider.N Generated by the insider workflow
Local build MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-build.N Never committed

preview is a release channel, not a branch. Stable promotion merges a sanitized release tree directly from dev to main.

2. Package versions stay in lockstep

These versions must always be identical:

  • package.json
  • packages/squad-sdk/package.json
  • packages/squad-cli/package.json
  • the corresponding workspace entries in package-lock.json

Use the workspace-aware version command:

npm version "$VERSION" --workspaces --include-workspace-root --no-git-tag-version

Never edit only one package version.

3. Prerelease workspace dependency rule

The CLI depends on the SDK through a SemVer range. SemVer deliberately excludes prereleases unless the comparator names a prerelease with the same base version. For example, >=0.13.0 does not match 0.14.0-preview.1.

For every committed preview version, set both the CLI manifest and lockfile dependency floor to that exact preview:

npm pkg set "dependencies.@bradygaster/squad-sdk=>=$VERSION" \
  --workspace @bradygaster/squad-cli
npm install --package-lock-only

For VERSION=0.14.0-preview.1, the required range is >=0.14.0-preview.1. Before stable promotion, change the version and floor to 0.14.0 / >=0.14.0; never leave a prerelease floor in a stable release.

This rule prevents the PR #640 failure mode, where the build succeeded against a stale published SDK rather than the workspace SDK.

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.
