 ### Added
+- **Automated Version Bumping**: GitHub Actions workflow automatically bumps patch version on every commit/merge to main branch
+  - Uses existing `npm run build:release` command
+  - Commits changes back to repository with `[skip-version]` tag
+  - Skips documentation-only changes (markdown files and docs directory)
+  - Prevents infinite loops with bot detection
+
 - **Export/Import System**: Backup and restore memories across machines
   - `export-memory` command - Export memories to JSON with optional filtering
   - `import-memory` command - Import memories with duplicate detection

+### Versioning
+
+The project uses automated version bumping:
+
+- **Development builds**: Use `npm run build` (no version change)
+- **Release builds**: Use `npm run build:release` (bumps patch version)
+- **Manual version bumps**: Use `npm run version:patch|minor|major`
+- **Automatic**: All commits/merges to `main` automatically bump the patch version via GitHub Actions
+
+The workflow skips version bumps for:
+- Documentation-only changes (`.md` files)
+- Changes to `docs/` directory
+- Commits containing `[skip-version]` in the message
+
 ### Testing
 
 The project has comprehensive test coverage:
