What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of determining the next semantic version for @shellicar npm packages and updating the CHANGELOG.md accordingly, reducing manual release toil.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Determine the current version from package.json, git tags, or CHANGELOG.md.
  • Compute the next version (patch/minor/major) and update package.json accordingly.
  • Update CHANGELOG.md in the Keep a Changelog format with the new version entry and date.
  • Support monorepos by coordinating version bumps across packages and staging changes for release, without committing automatically.
  • Stage changes for the caller to commit or review as part of a release workflow.

Quick Start

  1. Inspect current version in package.json or via git describe.
  2. Choose the bump type (patch/minor/major) and let the tool propose the next version.
  3. Update CHANGELOG.md and package.json with the new version and versioned notes.
  4. Stage changes (do not commit) and hand control to the release workflow.
