Skill Publish
Takes a skill from ~/.claude/commands/ and packages it into the public skills repo.
Arguments
Skill to publish: $ARGUMENTS
Step 1 - Stage
~/.claude/commands/skill-publish/scripts/stage.sh "$ARGUMENTS"
If the script exits with an error, stop and explain what's wrong.
Step 2 - Review for internals
Read every file in ~/dev/mad-house/skills/skills/$ARGUMENTS/ and check for:
- Hardcoded IPs or hostnames
- Specific container or service names from Mad House infrastructure
- Orinadus references of any kind
- Email addresses or personal information
- Tokens, API keys, passwords, or anything that looks like a secret
- Hardcoded paths that are specific to this machine (e.g.
/home/samhc/ beyond ~, specific org names in ~/dev/)
Mad House branding and org identity (e.g. madebymadhouse, mad-house/lab) is fine to keep. Generic paths using ~ or $HOME are fine.
If you find anything that needs scrubbing, fix it before continuing.
Step 3 - Update the README
Open ~/dev/mad-house/skills/README.md and add the skill to the correct section of the skills table. Use the same one-line description style as existing entries.
If it does not fit an existing section, add a new one.
Step 4 - Commit and push
cd ~/dev/mad-house/skills && git add . && git commit -m "Add $ARGUMENTS skill
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>" && git push
Confirm the push succeeded and give the user the GitHub URL for the skill folder.
