| description | This skill should be used when the user asks to "publish my package", "publication pipeline", "get this published", "how do I publish this", or mentions publication without specifying an ecosystem. It detects the project type (R package, Python package, or book manuscript) and routes to the appropriate ecosystem-specific publication skill. |
Publication Pipeline Router
Detect the current project type and route to the appropriate publication workflow.
Detection Logic
Check the current working directory for project type indicators:
| Check | Project Type | Route To |
|---|
DESCRIPTION file with Package: field | R package | /r-publish (the r-pub-pipeline skill) |
pyproject.toml or setup.py or setup.cfg | Python package | /pypi-publish (the pypi-publish skill) |
.docx, .epub, .tex manuscript files | Book manuscript | /kdp-publish (the kdp-publish skill) |
| Multiple types detected | Ambiguous | Ask the user which workflow to run |
| None detected | Unknown | Ask the user what they want to publish |
Workflow
Step 1: Detect project type (Glob tool)
Search the current directory for:
DESCRIPTION (R package indicator — verify it contains a Package: field)pyproject.toml, setup.py, setup.cfg (Python package indicators)*.tex, *.docx, *.epub, manuscript/ directory (book indicators)
Step 2: Load user config (Read tool)
Read .claude/pub-pipeline.local.md if it exists. If missing, inform the user and offer to create one from the template at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/docs/user-config-template.md.
Step 3: Route
Based on detection, invoke the appropriate ecosystem skill. If the project type is ambiguous (e.g., both DESCRIPTION and pyproject.toml exist), present options to the user and ask which publication workflow to run.
