Update package.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, and .sd0x/install-state.json versions in sync.
Workflow
- Choose the target (below) — the plugin, or the agentctl mod
- Read current versions from all files
- Determine new version (from argument or auto-increment)
- Update all files to the same version
- Report result
Step 0: Choose the Target
| Invocation | Target | Steps |
|---|---|---|
/bump-version agentctl [patch|minor|major|<version>] |
the agentctl mod only | Step 3b only — the plugin's three files are not read or changed, so no plugin release is triggered |
| anything else | the plugin | Steps 1–4; Step 3b is not run |
Never bump both in one invocation: the plugin and the mod release separately, and a stray change to
package.json triggers the plugin's release workflow. When the plugin is bumped and
node .github/scripts/agentctl-version.js check reports that the mod changed too, say so and suggest
/bump-version agentctl as a separate run.
Step 1: Read Current Versions
grep '"version"' package.json .claude-plugin/plugin.json
Also check manifest:
grep '"plugin_version"' .sd0x/install-state.json 2>/dev/null || echo "(no manifest)"
If versions are already out of sync, warn user before proceeding.
Step 2: Determine New Version
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
Explicit version (e.g., 1.9.0) |
Use as-is |
major |
Bump major: 1.8.1 → 2.0.0 |
minor |
Bump minor: 1.8.1 → 1.9.0 |
patch (default) |
Bump patch: 1.8.1 → 1.8.2 |
| No argument | Default to patch |
Step 3: Update All Files
Use Edit tool to update version fields:
package.json—"version"field.claude-plugin/plugin.json—"version"field.sd0x/install-state.json—"plugin_version"field (if file exists)
All must be set to the exact same version string.
The manifest update prevents the SessionStart drift sentinel from firing false warnings after every version bump in the plugin source repo.
Step 3b: The agentctl mod (/bump-version agentctl, only where mods/agentctl/ exists)
The mod is versioned separately and released under agentctl-v<version> tags. This step runs instead
of Steps 1–3, never after them, and only where mods/agentctl/.claude-plugin/plugin.json exists:
- Bump
"version"inmods/agentctl/.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonby the Step 2 rules applied to the argument afteragentctl, from its own current version — never to the plugin's version - Run
node .github/scripts/agentctl-version.js updateto record the new version and the mod's digest
Claude Code caches an installed plugin by version, so a mod change shipped under an unchanged version can miss everyone who already installed it; CI fails until the lock is recorded.
Step 4: Report
## Version Bump
| File | Field | Before | After |
|------|-------|--------|-------|
| package.json | version | x.y.z | a.b.c |
| .claude-plugin/plugin.json | version | x.y.z | a.b.c |
| .sd0x/install-state.json | plugin_version | x.y.z | a.b.c |
| mods/agentctl/.claude-plugin/plugin.json | version (only when bumped) | p.q.r | p.q.s |
Prohibited
- Never set different versions across the plugin's three files (the agentctl mod keeps its own version)
- Never modify other fields in the version manifests (
package.json, the plugin manifests,.sd0x/install-state.json);mods/agentctl/release.jsonis generated and is written only byagentctl-version.js update
