Bumpup Versions Skill

This skill provides a standardized workflow to synchronize and increment version numbers across the entire monorepo (root and all packages) using native pnpm commands.

When to Use

• When preparing for a release that requires a unified version bump across all packages.
• When you notice version drift between the root package.json and workspace packages.
• When requested to "bump versions", "release a new version", or "sync package versions".

Instructions

1. Determine Target Version

Identify if you are performing a semantic bump (patch, minor, major) or setting an explicit version (e.g., 1.0.0).

2. Synchronize Workspace Packages

Run the version command recursively across all packages in the workspace using pnpm -r exec. The --no-git-tag-version flag prevents automatic git tagging and commits, and --allow-same-version ensures it doesn't fail if a package is already at the target version.

pnpm -r exec pnpm version <version_or_bump_type> --no-git-tag-version --allow-same-version

3. Update Root Version

Update the root package.json to match the workspace versions.

pnpm version <version_or_bump_type> --no-git-tag-version --allow-same-version

4. Update Lockfile and Internal References

Run pnpm install to ensure pnpm-lock.yaml is updated with the new versions and any internal workspace dependencies (using workspace:*) are correctly resolved.

pnpm install

5. Verify Changes

Check a sample of package.json files to ensure they all reflect the new version.

grep '"version":' package.json packages/*/package.json packages/plugins/*/package.json

Termination Criteria

• The version field in the root package.json matches the target version.
• The version field in all packages/**/package.json files matches the target version.
• pnpm-lock.yaml has been updated and there are no linting/test regressions related to the version change.

Examples

Scenario: Performing a patch bump across the monorepo

1. Agent: "I will bump the version to the next patch."
2. Command: pnpm -r exec pnpm version patch --no-git-tag-version --allow-same-version
3. Command: pnpm version patch --no-git-tag-version --allow-same-version
4. Command: pnpm install
5. Verification: grep '"version":' package.json packages/*/package.json

Scenario: Setting an explicit version (e.g., 0.2.0)

1. Agent: "Synchronizing all packages to version 0.2.0."
2. Command: pnpm -r exec pnpm version 0.2.0 --no-git-tag-version --allow-same-version
3. Command: pnpm version 0.2.0 --no-git-tag-version --allow-same-version
4. Command: pnpm install
