Step 2: Semantic Versioning

버전 번호: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment:

MAJOR (1.0.0 → 2.0.0): Breaking changes
  - API 변경으로 기존 코드가 동작하지 않음
  - 예: 필수 파라미터 추가, 응답 구조 변경

MINOR (1.1.0 → 1.2.0): Backward-compatible features
  - 새로운 기능 추가
  - 기존 기능은 그대로 동작
  - 예: 새 API 엔드포인트, optional 파라미터

PATCH (1.1.1 → 1.1.2): Backward-compatible bug fixes
  - 버그 수정
  - 보안 패치
  - 예: 메모리 누수 수정, 타이포 수정

예시:

  • 1.0.01.0.1: 버그 수정
  • 1.0.11.1.0: 새 기능 추가
  • 1.1.02.0.0: Breaking change

Step 4: Breaking Changes 마이그레이션 가이드

# Migration Guide: v1.x to v2.0

## Breaking Changes

### 1. Authentication Method Changed

**Before** (v1.x):
\`\`\`javascript
fetch('/api/users', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Basic ' + btoa(username + ':' + password)
  }
});
\`\`\`

**After** (v2.0):
\`\`\`javascript
// 1. Get JWT token
const { accessToken } = await fetch('/api/auth/login', {
  method: 'POST',
  body: JSON.stringify({ email, password })
}).then(r => r.json());

// 2. Use token
fetch('/api/users', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + accessToken
  }
});
\`\`\`

### 2. User List API Response Format

**Before** (v1.x):
\`\`\`json
{
  "users": [...]
}
\`\`\`

**After** (v2.0):
\`\`\`json
{
  "data": [...],
  "pagination": {
    "page": 1,
    "limit": 20,
    "total": 100
  }
}
\`\`\`

**Migration**:
\`\`\`javascript
// v1.x
const users = response.users;

// v2.0
const users = response.data;
\`\`\`

AI Quality Score

78/100Analyzed 2/19/2026

A comprehensive changelog maintenance skill covering Keep a Changelog format, semantic versioning, release notes, and migration guides. Well-structured with good step-by-step instructions and concrete examples. Somewhat penalizeed by empty example placeholders and Korean/English language mixing. Located in .agent-skills folder suggesting template usage, but content is broadly reusable for any software project.
