Overview

This skill automates multi-channel publishing for Agent Skills repositories, letting you release new versions to ClaWHub, GitHub, and other platforms with a single setup. It installs a GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline, helper scripts, and configures required secrets so releases are triggered by tag pushes.

How this skill works

The skill clones your target GitHub repository, copies pre-built workflow and helper script templates into the repo, and uses the GitHub CLI to set repository secrets (CLAWHUB_TOKEN and GH_PAT). It commits and pushes the new files, creating workflows that run on tag pushes, PRs, and for submitting to curated lists. After setup, creating a git tag triggers the publish pipeline.

When to use it

• You maintain one or more Agent Skills in a GitHub repo and need repeatable release automation.
• You want to publish skill versions to ClaWHub and update GitHub metadata automatically.
• You need to add GitHub Actions workflows for quality checks, releases, and list submissions.
• You want to centralize token management and CI/CD setup across multiple skill repos.

Best practices

• Ensure GH_PAT has repo and workflow scopes and keep CLAWHUB_TOKEN restricted to necessary permissions.
• Run the setup in a clean branch, review changes, then merge to main to avoid accidental commits.
• Use semantic version tags (e.g., v1.2.0) to trigger predictable release pipelines.
• Store any additional platform credentials as GitHub Actions secrets rather than plain files.
• Test workflows on a fork or staging repo before enabling them on production repositories.

Example use cases

• Add a publish pipeline to an existing skills repo so tagging vX.Y.Z publishes to ClaWHub and creates a GitHub Release.
• Onboard multiple skill repositories by running the setup script to ensure consistent workflows and secrets across projects.
• Automatically submit new or updated skills to curated awesome-lists via a workflow that opens PRs.
• Enforce quality gates by adding automated checks on pull requests before a release is created.
