bump-version

bump-version is a skill for Claude Code from SSWConsulting/SSW.VerticalSliceArchitecture. It costs 86 tokens per session (832 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release helper for the SSW.VerticalSliceArchitecture.Template, a .NET project template distributed through NuGet. It changes the package version in the repository's NuGet specification file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when cutting or publishing a new template release, including choosing the current date as the version and checking the latest published release.
Why use it?
It removes uncertainty about how releases work: the calendar-date version in that file is what triggers packaging and publishing when merged to the main branch.

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

bump-version 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 9d 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.

What "bump the version" means in this repo

This repo is a dotnet new template published to NuGet as SSW.VerticalSliceArchitecture.Template. The release is push-triggered, not tag-triggered.

.github/workflows/package.yml runs only when a push to main changes VerticalSliceArchitecture.nuspec. When it does, it:

  1. Packs the template with nuget pack.
  2. Pushes the .nupkg to NuGet.org.
  3. Reads <version> from the nuspec and creates a matching git tag.
  4. Publishes a GitHub release on that tag with auto-generated notes.

So the <version> value in VerticalSliceArchitecture.nuspec is the release. Changing it and merging to main ships a new package. Nothing else cuts a release.

Versioning scheme: CalVer

Versions are calendar dates, YYYY.MM.DD (e.g. 2025.12.10, 2026.06.12). There is no SemVer major/minor/patch decision — the new version is simply today's date.

To find the latest published version, use gh release view --json tagName -q .tagName — that's authoritative. Don't trust git tag --sort=-v:refname | head: the repo has both v-prefixed and bare tags (v2025.10.24 and 2025.12.10), and the mixed namespace makes that sort return a stale tag above the real latest.

Steps

  1. Read the current <version> from VerticalSliceArchitecture.nuspec.
  2. Compute today's date as YYYY.MM.DD. That is the new version.
  3. Guard against a same-day re-release: run git fetch --tags first (release tags are created by CI on the remote, so a local-only git tag can miss one shipped earlier today), then check the date isn't already a tag. If it is, a release already shipped today — append a numeric suffix (YYYY.MM.DD.1) or ask the user how they want to disambiguate. Don't silently overwrite.
  4. Update <version> to the new value.
  5. Refresh <releaseNotes>: summarise what changed since the last release. The <version> you read in step 1 (before bumping) is the previous release's tag, so use it as the changelog base: git log --oneline <previous-version>..HEAD. Distil that into a short, human summary (one or two sentences). This is the NuGet page blurb — GitHub generates the full PR-list notes separately, so keep it terse.
  6. Run the humanizer skill over the release-notes prose before finishing (per the repo/global content-writing rule).

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.
