How does the advisor distinguish between MINOR and PATCH changes?

It classifies new features or backward-compatible API additions as MINOR, while reserving PATCH for backward-compatible bug fixes, internal refactoring, and documentation updates.

Does it support pre-release versioning?

Yes, it handles alpha, beta, and release candidate (RC) formats, including specific rules for precedence and transition between pre-release and stable versions.

Can it help identify breaking changes?

Absolutely. It specifically looks for removed methods, changed signatures, or incompatible behavioral changes to recommend a MAJOR version bump.

Does it integrate with existing package managers?

The skill provides workflow guidance and command templates for common tools like NPM, Yarn, and the semver CLI utility to streamline your update process.

Automates semantic versioning decisions by classifying code changes and recommending appropriate version bumps.

The Semantic Version Advisor is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to streamline release management by analyzing code changes and applying strict semver rules. It helps developers accurately determine if a change warrants a MAJOR, MINOR, or PATCH update, validates proposed version increments against historical data, and ensures compliance with standard versioning practices for both stable and pre-release builds. Whether you are automating a CI/CD pipeline or manually preparing a package release, this skill provides the logical framework to maintain versioning integrity.
