Five skills covering this repo's own conventions: adding a bootstrap module, adding a CLI to bin/, bumping a pinned version, adding an MCP server, and verifying a module change. Lives in .agents/skills/ because opencode discovers that path natively alongside .opencode/skills/ and .claude/skills/, making it the most tool-neutral of the three. Distinct from the repo's skills/ tree, which ships to every covert-gpt user via sync.sh; these stay in the checkout. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

description: Use when upgrading a pinned version anywhere in this repo — a CLI in bin/install.sh, NODE_VERSION in node/install.sh, or an npm-pinned MCP server in mcp-config/opencode.gateway.json. Covers where the pins live, how to verify the new release actually exists, and the supply-chain reasoning behind pinning.

# Bumping a pinned version
|
|
|
|
Everything in this repo is version-pinned on purpose. Nothing floats.
|
|
|
|
## Where the pins live
|
|
|
|
| Pin | Location | Shape |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| CLI tools | `bin/install.sh` | `ver=v1.2.3` inside each `install_<name>()` |
|
|
| Node.js | `node/install.sh` | `NODE_VERSION="v24.18.0"` |
|
|
| MCP servers | `mcp-config/opencode.gateway.json` | `["npx", "-y", "pkg@0.0.10"]` |
|
|
| oh-my-zsh, Docker | `zsh/`, `docker/` | installed from upstream scripts — not pinned |
|
|
|
|
Grep before assuming: `grep -rnE 'ver=|_VERSION=|@[0-9]+\.[0-9]+' --include='*.sh' --include='*.json'`
|
|
|
|
## Why these are pinned
|
|
|
|
`npx -y <pkg>` executes whatever the registry serves *at that moment*. The MCP
|
|
servers receive your Gitea and Proxmox tokens (`{env:GITEA_KEY}` and friends
|
|
are passed into the spawned process), so an unpinned server is a live
|
|
supply-chain path to your credentials. `node/install.sh` says this out loud in
|
|
its header. A version bump is a **supply-chain decision**, not a chore — when
|
|
bumping an MCP server or Node itself, skim the upstream changelog for a
|
|
maintainer change or a new network dependency, and say what you found.
|
|
|
|
## Doing the bump
|
|
|
|
1. **Verify the release exists before editing.** Don't trust the model's
|
|
memory of version numbers — check upstream (`gh release list`, the GitHub
|
|
releases page, `npm view <pkg> versions`, or nodejs.org/dist).
|
|
2. **Verify the asset URL still resolves.** Projects rename assets between
|
|
releases. Build the exact URL the script will request and check it:
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -fsSLI "https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/download/v0.51.0/k9s_Linux_amd64.tar.gz"
|
|
```
|
|
A 404 here becomes a hard bootstrap failure under `set -eu`.
|
|
3. **Match the upstream tag exactly** — `v1.2.3` vs `1.2.3` matters, because
|
|
`have_version` string-compares against the `.versions` stamp. Get it wrong
|
|
and the tool reinstalls on every single bootstrap, silently.
|
|
4. **Bump one thing per commit.** When a box breaks after a bootstrap, the
|
|
commit log should say which upgrade did it.
|
|
|
|
## Verifying
|
|
|
|
The `.versions` stamp is what makes the bump observable:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cat ~/.local/bin/.versions/<tool> # old version
|
|
./bin/install.sh # should download, not skip
|
|
cat ~/.local/bin/.versions/<tool> # new version
|
|
./bin/install.sh # should now say "already installed"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the second run re-downloads, the `ver=` string and the stamp disagree — that
|
|
is the tag-format bug from step 3.
|
|
|
|
For an MCP server bump, restart opencode and confirm the server actually comes
|
|
up. A dead MCP server is reported only as missing tools, so it looks like a
|
|
model problem rather than a version problem.
