plugin-bump

name	plugin-bump
description	Bump a plugin version in its plugin.json file using semantic versioning. Use when user asks to "bump plugin version", "increment plugin version", or after making changes to a plugin that warrant a version update.

Plugin Version Bump

Bump a plugin version in plugins/PLUGIN_NAME/.claude-plugin/plugin.json following semantic versioning.

Inference Rules

Infer bump type from context:

• Major (X.0.0): Breaking changes, renames, restructuring
• Minor (x.Y.0): New features, new skills
• Patch (x.y.Z): Bug fixes, doc updates, grammar fixes

Commands

# Bump patch (e.g., 1.2.3 → 1.2.4)
jq '.version |= (split(".") | .[2] = ((.[2] | tonumber) + 1 | tostring) | join("."))' plugins/PLUGIN_NAME/.claude-plugin/plugin.json > /tmp/claude/plugin.json && mv /tmp/claude/plugin.json plugins/PLUGIN_NAME/.claude-plugin/plugin.json

# Bump minor (e.g., 1.2.3 → 1.3.0)
jq '.version |= (split(".") | .[1] = ((.[1] | tonumber) + 1 | tostring) | .[2] = "0" | join("."))' plugins/PLUGIN_NAME/.claude-plugin/plugin.json > /tmp/claude/plugin.json && mv /tmp/claude/plugin.json plugins/PLUGIN_NAME/.claude-plugin/plugin.json

# Bump major (e.g., 1.2.3 → 2.0.0)
jq '.version |= (split(".") | .[0] = ((.[0] | tonumber) + 1 | tostring) | .[1] = "0" | .[2] = "0" | join("."))' plugins/PLUGIN_NAME/.claude-plugin/plugin.json > /tmp/claude/plugin.json && mv /tmp/claude/plugin.json plugins/PLUGIN_NAME/.claude-plugin/plugin.json

Replace PLUGIN_NAME with the actual plugin name (e.g., gemini, go-formatter).

Workflow

1. Get current version first:

   jq '.version' plugins/PLUGIN_NAME/.claude-plugin/plugin.json
   

2. Run the appropriate bump command
3. Confirm new version to user
