Which files are updated by this skill?

It specifically targets the plugin's core manifest (plugin.json), the marketplace extended catalog, and performs a sync to the primary marketplace.json file.

How does it ensure version consistency?

The skill performs pre-bump validation to ensure the new version is higher than the current one and verifies that no other plugins in the repository are using the same version number.

How does Version Bumper determine which version to increment?

It identifies the bump type from your natural language request (e.g., 'patch', 'minor', or 'major') or suggests the appropriate increment based on the scope of your recent changes.

Can it handle changelog updates?

If a CHANGELOG.md file exists in your project, the skill will automatically append the new version entry with the current date and provide a structured summary of changes.

Does it support Git integration?

Yes, it can automatically create annotated Git tags and formatted commits for your version bumps to maintain a clean and traceable release history.
