Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts at 3f5182cfd7.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate, parse, and manage software version numbers using Semantic Versioning (SemVer) standards. It ensures consistent identification of releases by structuring versions into major, minor, and patch components for clear dependency tracking.

When to use it

  • Defining release tags for new features that do not break existing functionality.
  • Identifying breaking changes in codebases that require user migration or updates.
  • Automating version bumping workflows in CI/CD pipelines based on change types.
  • Resolving dependency conflicts by comparing specific semantic version constraints.

Key capabilities

  • Generates compliant MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version strings.
  • Determines the correct next version number based on change severity (breaking, feature, or bug fix).
  • Parses existing version strings to extract individual component values.
  • Validates version formats against standard SemVer rules.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a new semantic version for this release that adds user authentication but does not break existing login flows."
  • "Analyze these code changes and determine if the next version should be 2.0.0, 1.1.0, or 1.0.1 based on SemVer rules."
  • "List all valid semantic versions between 1.4.5 and 2.0.0 that satisfy the constraint '>=1.4.5 <2.0.0'."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent distinguishes clearly between breaking changes (increment major) and non-breaking additions or fixes to avoid version drift. Always validate generated versions against strict regex patterns to prevent malformed numbers like v1..2 or 1.2.3-beta.
