Version Bump

SkillDev tools

Bump the semver version in pyproject.toml (major, minor, or patch) and prepend a Keep-a-Changelog entry to CHANGELOG.md. Use when preparing a release, before creating a PR (the version-check CI job blocks merge if you don't), or when the user says "bump version", "release", or "increment version".

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by agentculture/reachy-mini-mcp in .claude/skills/version-bump/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Bump the semver version in pyproject.toml and prepend a new entry to CHANGELOG.md. Mirrors the AgentCulture workflow used by culture, afi-cli, cfafi, and other org repos; vendored here so the repo is self-contained.

Usage

Run from the repo root.

# With changelog content (pipe JSON via stdin):
echo '{"added":["New X"],"changed":["Refactored Y"],"fixed":["Bug in Z"]}' \
  | python3 .claude/skills/version-bump/scripts/bump.py minor

# Without changelog content (inserts empty ### Added/Changed/Fixed stubs):
python3 .claude/skills/version-bump/scripts/bump.py patch

# Check current version without bumping:
python3 .claude/skills/version-bump/scripts/bump.py show

Bump Types

TypeExampleWhen to use
major0.1.0 → 1.0.0Breaking changes, namespace restructures, CLI surface breaks
minor0.1.0 → 0.2.0New features, new commands, new modules
patch0.1.0 → 0.1.1Bug fixes, doc updates, dependency bumps, CI-only changes
showprints 0.1.0Read-only — no files changed

Changelog JSON Format

Pass via stdin. All fields are optional — only non-empty sections are rendered.

{
  "added":   ["List of new features"],
  "changed": ["List of changes to existing functionality"],
  "fixed":   ["List of bug fixes"]
}

What it touches

  • pyproject.toml — the version = "x.y.z" field (single source of truth; steward/__init__.py reads it via importlib.metadata, so there's no separate __version__ literal to keep in sync).
  • CHANGELOG.md — inserts a new ## [x.y.z] - YYYY-MM-DD entry at the top.

The script does the rest. Pick a bump type from the diff (patch for fixes, minor for new features, major for breaking changes), summarize the diff into added / changed / fixed lists, pipe as JSON, and commit the resulting pyproject.toml + CHANGELOG.md alongside the code change so the version-check CI job sees a consistent bump.
