Releasing pgdbm

Overview

This skill guides you through releasing a new version of the pgdbm library.

Prerequisites

• All tests passing
• Changes committed to main branch
• CHANGELOG.md updated with changes

Release Checklist

1. Run Tests

uv run pytest

All tests must pass before releasing.

2. Update Version Numbers

Three files need version updates:

# Check current version
grep "^version" pyproject.toml

Update these files to the new version:

pyproject.toml

version = "X.Y.Z"

src/pgdbm/__version__.py

__version__ = "X.Y.Z"

.claude-plugin/plugin.json

"version": "X.Y.Z"

Important: The plugin.json version controls Claude Code skill caching. Always bump it when releasing.

3. Update CHANGELOG.md

Add entry at the top:

## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD

### Added
- New features

### Changed
- Changes to existing features

### Fixed
- Bug fixes

4. Commit the Release

git add pyproject.toml src/pgdbm/__version__.py .claude-plugin/plugin.json CHANGELOG.md uv.lock
git commit -m "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z

- Summary of changes

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>"

5. Create Git Tag

git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release X.Y.Z"

6. Push to GitHub

git push origin main
git push origin vX.Y.Z

7. Publish to PyPI

Important: Clean the dist/ directory first to avoid uploading old versions.

rm -rf dist/
uv build
uv publish

Or if using twine:

rm -rf dist/
uv build
twine upload dist/*

8. Verify Release

# Check PyPI
pip index versions pgdbm

# Check plugin update works
claude plugin update pgdbm@juanre-ai-tools

Version Numbering

Follow semver:

• MAJOR (X.0.0): Breaking API changes
• MINOR (0.X.0): New features, backward compatible
• PATCH (0.0.X): Bug fixes, documentation
