 ## Error Prevention
 
 **ALWAYS verify:**
-- [ ] All three files have matching version numbers
+- [ ] All FOUR files have matching version numbers (package.json, marketplace.json, plugin.json, CLAUDE.md)
+- [ ] Git tag created with format vX.Y.Z
 - [ ] CLAUDE.md entry matches version type (patch/minor/major)
 - [ ] Breaking changes are clearly marked with ⚠️
 - [ ] File references use format: `path/to/file.ts:line_number`
 - [ ] CLAUDE.md entry is added at TOP of version history
+- [ ] Commit and tags pushed to remote
 
 **NEVER:**
-- Update only one or two files
+- Update only one, two, or three files - ALL FOUR must be updated
 - Skip the verification step
+- Forget to create git tag
 - Forget to ask user if version type is unclear
 - Use vague descriptions in CLAUDE.md
