| description | Bump the Toolfish version number and update README.md history. Use when the user says "update the version", "bump the version", "version to V2.X", or asks to release/version a new build of Toolfish. |
Update Toolfish Version
Use this skill whenever the user asks to update, bump, or release a new Toolfish version (e.g. "let's version to V2.36"). It covers the two files that must change in lockstep and the format expected for the README history entry.
Files to update
-
Source/CGlobals.h ? contains the version constant:
const float C_F_VERSION = 2.36f;
Replace 2.36f with the new version using the X.YYf float literal format (always two decimal places, lowercase f suffix).
-
README.md ? has two sections that may need updates:
- History section (required): add a new entry at the top, just under
## History, above the previous version's entry.
- Actions table (only if a new Action was added): insert a new row in the
### Actions table under ## Triggers & Actions Reference.
History entry format
Use this exact format. The date should be today's date in MMM Dth, YYYY form (e.g. Apr 16th, 2026, Feb 4th, 2026). Use ordinal suffixes (st, nd, rd, th).
**V2.36 Apr 16th, 2026**
* Short bullet describing change one
* Short bullet describing change two
Leave a blank line between the new entry and the previous version's entry.
Workflow
- Confirm the new version number and what changed (the user usually states this in the request).
- Edit
Source/CGlobals.h to bump C_F_VERSION.
- Edit
README.md:
- Add the new
**VX.YY <date>** history block directly under ## History.
- If new Actions or Triggers were added, also add corresponding rows to the tables under
### Actions / ### Triggers.
- Show the user the diff/summary of edits. Do NOT commit unless explicitly asked.
Notes
- Do not modify
unicode_Source.rc VS_VERSION_INFO ? it is currently kept at 1,0,0,1 and is not part of the public version scheme.
- The version is a
float, so only two decimal digits are meaningful. Treat 2.36 and V2.36 as equivalent.
- Bullets in the history entry should mirror the style of the existing entries: terse, sentence-case, no trailing period required (match neighboring entries if the user has a preference).
