CliInvoke Publish and Package

This skill provides the operational commands for packaging and publishing the CliInvoke library, ensuring correct versioning and dependency resolution.

When to Use

• Creating local NuGet packages for cross-project testing.
• Preparing a release for production publishing.
• Updating project versions for a new release.

When Not to Use

• During standard feature development (use cliinvoke-inner-loop).
• For simple bug fixes that don't require a new package version.

Inputs

Input	Required	Description
Core Version	Yes	The version string for CliInvoke.Core (e.g., 1.2.3)
Main Version	Yes	The version string for CliInvoke (e.g., 1.2.3)

Workflow

Step 0: Prerequisite

You MUST load and execute the cliinvoke-inner-loop skill first to ensure the codebase is stable and tests are passing.

Step 1: Local Package Testing

To test changes in CliInvoke.Core that impact the main library:

mkdir -p ./nupkgs
dotnet pack src/CliInvoke.Core -c Release -o ./nupkgs
dotnet restore src/CliInvoke -s ./nupkgs -s https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

Step 2: Production Publishing Sequence

Follow the sequence defined in .github/workflows/publish.yml:

1. Pack src/CliInvoke.Core.
2. Restore and build dependent projects while passing version properties: /p:CliInvokeCoreVersion=<<core-version>> and /p:CliInvokeVersion=<<main-version>>.

Validation

• src/CliInvoke.Core nupkg is generated in the output directory.
• src/CliInvoke restores successfully using the local feed.
• Version properties are correctly applied during the build.
