MyVibe Publish

Publish web content (HTML file, ZIP archive, or directory) to MyVibe.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or later
• All script executions in this skill require network access. Always run Bash commands with sandbox_permissions=require_escalated to ensure network permissions are enabled.
• The deployment and screenshot generation may take a few minutes. Use a 10-minute (600000ms) timeout for publish commands.

Usage

/myvibe:myvibe-publish --file ./dist.zip      # Publish ZIP
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --file ./index.html    # Publish HTML
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --dir ./dist           # Publish directory
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --url https://example.com/app  # Import from URL
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --dir ./dist --new     # Force new Vibe
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --dir ./dist --did z2qaXXX    # Update specific Vibe

Workflow Overview

1. Detect Project Type → if no build needed, start screenshot in background
2. Build (if needed) → then start screenshot in background
3. Metadata Analysis → extract title, description, tags
4. Confirm Publish → show metadata, get user confirmation
5. Execute Publish → script auto-reads screenshot result
6. Return Result → show publish URL

First tool call - check dependencies and gather info in parallel:

• Bash: test -d {skill_path}/scripts/node_modules || npm install --prefix {skill_path}/scripts
• Read: source file or main files in directory
• Bash: git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null || echo "Not a git repo"

After dependencies are confirmed, fetch tags:

• Bash: node {skill_path}/scripts/utils/fetch-tags.mjs --hub {hub}

---

Step 1: Detect Project Type

Check	Project Type	Next Step
--file with HTML/ZIP	Single File	→ Start screenshot, then Step 3
Has dist/, build/, or out/ with index.html	Pre-built	→ Step 2 (confirm rebuild)
Has package.json with build script, no output	Buildable	→ Step 2 (build first)
Multiple package.json or workspace config	Monorepo	→ Step 2 (select app)
Has index.html at root, no package.json	Static	→ Start screenshot, then Step 3

Start screenshot for non-build projects (run_in_background: true):

For directory source (--dir):

node {skill_path}/scripts/utils/generate-screenshot.mjs --dir {publish_target} --hub {hub}

For single file source (--file):

node {skill_path}/scripts/utils/generate-screenshot.mjs --file {publish_target} --hub {hub}

IMPORTANT: Use --file when the source is a single HTML file, and --dir when it is a directory. The flag must match the source.type in the publish config so that both scripts calculate the same hash for the screenshot result file.

After starting the screenshot background task, use TaskOutput (with block: false) to check the task output before proceeding. If the output contains "agent-browser is not installed" or "Chromium is not installed":

1. Install agent-browser: npm install -g agent-browser && agent-browser install
2. Re-run the screenshot command (same command as above, run_in_background: true)
3. Check again with TaskOutput (block: false) to confirm it's running

This ensures the screenshot can complete successfully in the background while you continue with metadata analysis.

---

Step 2: Build (if needed)

Detect package manager from lock files, build command from package.json scripts.

Use AskUserQuestion to confirm:

• Pre-built: "Rebuild or use existing output?"
• Buildable: "Build before publishing?"
• Monorepo: "Which app to publish?"

After build completes, start screenshot in background (same check as Step 1: use TaskOutput block: false to verify agent-browser is available, install if needed, then retry), then proceed to Step 3.

---

Step 3: Metadata Analysis

Generate title

MyVibe generates page URLs from the title (e.g. "Interactive Solar System" → interactive-solar-system), so the title must be meaningful and descriptive.

Step 1 - Extract raw title candidates:

• <title> tag content
• og:title meta content
• package.json name field
• First <h1> content

Step 2 - Evaluate and generate: If the extracted title is generic or meaningless (e.g. "Document", "Untitled", "index", "app", "React App", "Vite App", single characters, or package-name-style like "my-app"), generate a better title based on:

• What the project actually does (from source code, README, conversation context)
• The visual content and purpose of the page

Title requirements:

• 2-6 words, concise and descriptive
• Describes the content/purpose, not the technology (e.g. "Interactive Solar System" not "Three.js Demo")
• No filler words like "app", "demo", "project", "page" unless essential to meaning
• English words, proper capitalization (Title Case)
• If --title was explicitly provided by user, always use it as-is

Generate description (50-150 words, story-style)

Cover: Why (motivation) → What (functionality) → Journey (optional)

Sources: conversation history, README.md, source code, package.json, git log

Guidelines:

• Natural, conversational tone
• Focus on value and story, not technical specs
• Avoid generic "A web app built with React"

Extract githubRepo

From git remote or package.json repository field. Convert SSH to HTTPS format.

Match tags

Fetch tags: node {skill_path}/scripts/utils/fetch-tags.mjs --hub {hub}

Tag Type	Match Method
techStackTags	Match package.json dependencies against tag slug
platformTags	From conversation context (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
modelTags	From conversation context (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4, etc.)
categoryTags	Infer from project (game libs → game, charts → viz)

---

Step 4: Confirm Publish

Display metadata and use AskUserQuestion:

Publishing to MyVibe:
──────────────────────
Title: [value]

Description:
[50-150 word story]

GitHub: [URL or "Not detected"]
Cover Image: [Will be included if ready]

Tags: Tech Stack: [...] | Platform: [...] | Category: [...] | Model: [...]

Options: "Publish" / "Edit details"

---

Step 5: Execute Publish

The publish script automatically reads the screenshot result file. Execute publish directly:

Pass config via stdin:

node {skill_path}/scripts/publish.mjs --config-stdin <<'EOF'
{
  "source": { "type": "dir", "path": "./dist", "did": "z2qaXXXX" },
  "hub": "https://www.myvibe.so",
  "metadata": {
    "title": "My App",
    "description": "Story description here",
    "visibility": "public",
    "githubRepo": "https://github.com/user/repo",
    "platformTags": [1, 2],
    "techStackTags": [3, 4],
    "categoryTags": [5],
    "modelTags": [6]
  }
}
EOF

• did optional - for explicit version updates
• coverImage auto-read from /tmp/myvibe-screenshot-{hash}.json
• Screenshot result file cleaned up after publish

Retry after action failure

If the publish script output contains retryHint: skip-upload or shows "Upload was successful. DID: ...", do NOT re-run the full publish command. Instead, use skipUpload with the DID from the output to retry only the publish action:

node {skill_path}/scripts/publish.mjs --config-stdin <<'EOF'
{
  "source": { "type": "dir", "path": "./dist", "skipUpload": true, "did": "<DID from error output>" },
  "hub": "https://www.myvibe.so",
  "metadata": {
    "title": "My App",
    "description": "Story description here",
    "visibility": "public"
  }
}
EOF

This reuses the already-uploaded content and only retries the publish action, avoiding duplicate records.

---

Step 6: Return Result

After publish script completes, check the script output for these messages:

Success Message

Always include the Vibe URL and an explore prompt in your response:

Published successfully!
🔗 [URL]

🌐 Discover more creative Vibes → {hub}/explore

The explore URL uses the same {hub} base (default https://www.myvibe.so). If the user specified a custom --hub, use that hub for the explore link.

Upgrade Prompt (Important)

The script prints an upgrade prompt when updating an existing Vibe without version history enabled:

📦 Previous version overwritten. Want to keep version history?
   Upgrade to Creator → {hub}/pricing

You MUST include this upgrade information in your response to the user if the script output contains it. This helps free-tier users discover the version history feature.

Error Handling

Error	Action
Dependencies missing	Run npm install in scripts directory
401/403 Auth error	Token auto-cleared, re-run to authorize
Build failed	Analyze error, offer fix, or publish source as-is
Screenshot failed	Skip coverImage, proceed without it
agent-browser missing	Run npm install -g agent-browser && agent-browser install
Script execution failed (network/sandbox)	Check if network permissions are enabled. Add sandbox_permissions=require_escalated and retry
Publish action failed (upload succeeded)	Use skipUpload: true with DID from error output to retry action only
Private mode is only available for Creator and Studio users	See "Private Mode Error Handling" below

Private Mode Error Handling

When publishing with visibility: private fails with "Private mode is only available for Creator and Studio users", use AskUserQuestion to let the user choose:

Question: "Private publishing requires a Creator or Studio subscription. How would you like to proceed?"

Option	Label	Description
1	Publish as Public	Your Vibe will be visible to everyone. You can change this later after upgrading.
2	View Upgrade Options	Open the pricing page to explore subscription plans with private publishing.

Actions based on selection:

• Option 1: Re-run publish with visibility: "public", inform user the Vibe is now public
• Option 2: Display the pricing URL {hub}/pricing and stop the publish flow

Notes

• Always analyze content for meaningful title/description - never use directory names
• Confirm with user before publishing
• Default hub: https://www.myvibe.so/
• Tags fetched fresh from API on each publish
• Publish history in ~/.myvibe/published.yaml for auto version updates
• Use --new to force new Vibe instead of updating
