Release New Version

Quick Start

/project:release <version>

Parameter	Description
version	Target version (e.g. 1.2.0). Determines SemVer bump level

How it Works

1. Determine Version Bump

Analyze commits since last release (git log <last-tag>..HEAD) and apply:

Commit Type	Bump	Example
feat	Minor	1.0.0 → 1.1.0
refactor	Minor	1.1.0 → 1.2.0
fix / internal	Patch	1.0.0 → 1.0.1
breaking change	Major	1.0.0 → 2.0.0

2. Bump Skill Versions

Update metadata.version in each skills/*/SKILL.md:

• Skills with functional changes: Minor or Patch based on scope
• Skills with only _utility__ changes: Patch bump

3. Bump Plugin Version

Update version in all 3 files (must be identical):

File	Fields
.claude-plugin/plugin.json	version
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json	metadata.version + plugins[0].version
gemini-extension.json	version

4. Update CHANGELOG.md

Insert new section before the previous version entry. Format: Keep a Changelog

Sections: Added / Changed / Fixed / Internal

Append comparison link at bottom: [X.Y.Z]: https://github.com/kouko/monkey-knowledge-youtube-skills/compare/vPREV...vX.Y.Z

5. Verify

Run bash scripts/verify-utility-sync.sh — all _utility__ copies must be identical.

6. Commit & PR

1. Commit: chore: bump version to X.Y.Z
2. Push branch → Create PR → Merge

7. Tag & GitHub Release

After PR merge, on main:

git tag vX.Y.Z
git push origin vX.Y.Z
gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z" --notes "<CHANGELOG content for this version>"
