Version Bump Reviewer

Decides whether a plugin or skill change needs a semver bump and at what tier, then propagates the new version through every file that has to stay in sync for this repo, and writes a conventional-commit message a future CHANGELOG generator can grep. This skill is the version-aware sibling to skill-review: skill-review flags policy and quality issues; this skill reasons about versioning and commits the result.

The primary question this skill answers is "does this change need a version bump, and if so, what tier?" — "no bump needed" is a first-class, expected outcome.

The skill is plugin-aware, not just SKILL.md-aware. Plugins can ship feature changes via many surfaces (a new .lsp.json, a new commands/foo.md, a new agent, a new MCP server, a new hook), and all of those should bump the owning plugin's version so installed users actually receive the update. Marketplace docs are explicit: users only get plugin updates when plugin.json.version (or the plugins[].version in marketplace.json) is bumped.
