What it does
Publish Skill is an agent skill from alexanderop/walkthrough. Creates a new GitHub repository for a Claude Code skill with proper README and directory structure. Use when you want to package and publish a skill so others can install it. Triggers on "publish skill", "publish this skill", "create skill repo", "package skill", "share this skill".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Claude Code CLI. Requires gh CLI authenticated with GitHub.
It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: A Claude Code skill that generates interactive HTML walkthroughs with clickable Mermaid diagrams to explain codebase features, flows, and architecture.
When your agent uses it
- You want to package and publish a skill so others can install it
- Publish this skill
- Create skill repo
- Share this skill
Example prompts
- “publish skill”
- “publish this skill”
- “create skill repo”
- “/publish-skill”
Requirements
- Node.js
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Claude Code CLI. Requires `gh` CLI authenticated with GitHub.
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob, Grep, Task, AskUserQuestion
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Gather skill information
- Create the repository structure
- Generate the README
- Initialize git and publish
- Report back
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5e70c06. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadWriteGlobGrepTaskAskUserQuestion
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitnpxgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Claude Code CLI. Requires `gh` CLI authenticated with GitHub.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Publish Skill loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 381 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Glob, Grep, Task, AskUserQuestion
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 381 words (~1,185 tokens).
