What it does

Publish is an agent skill from azoner/pyx12. Tag a release and watch the GitHub release workflow publish to TestPyPI + PyPI

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: HIPAA X12 document parser, validator and converter.

Example prompts

  • “/publish”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Read current version
  2. Confirm with user
  3. Pre-flight verification
  4. Verify clean master
  5. Tag and push
  6. Watch the release workflow
  7. Create the GitHub release
  8. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6517b9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • git
    • gh
    • pip
    • uv
    • pytest

    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:

    • pypi.org
    • test.pypi.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • TWINE_PASSWORD

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Publish loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 388 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

  • WarningMentions a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud or package-manager tokens)SKILL.md:99
    n those environment settings, not in `~/.pypirc`.
  • WarningMentions a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud or package-manager tokens)SKILL.md:112
    Requires `~/.pypirc` or `TWINE_USERNAME=__token__` + `TWINE_PASSWORD=pypi-...`

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 388 words (~1,072 tokens).

“.github/workflows/release.yml runs on v* tag push and publishes to TestPyPI then PyPI via PyPA trusted publishing — no local credentials required. This skill drives the tag-and-watch side: pre-flight verification, tag, push, watch the workflow, and create the GitHub release.”

How do I install Publish in Codex?

Run `npx skills add azoner/pyx12 --skill publish -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/publish in azoner/pyx12) into .agents/skills/publish in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Publish in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add azoner/pyx12 --skill publish -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/publish, .gemini/skills/publish, .github/skills/publish and .opencode/skills/publish in your project.

What does Publish need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Publish needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python, git, gh, pip, uv and pytest) and credentials named TWINE_PASSWORD. Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Publish access the network?

SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: pypi.org and test.pypi.org; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Publish safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md flagged 2 warning(s): mentions a credentials file (ssh keys, cloud or package-manager tokens). Read the flagged lines before installing; the check is not a guarantee either way.

What licence does Publish use?

Publish has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.

How many tokens does Publish use?

About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Publish?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Publish: PR Babysitter (openinterpreter/openinterpreter, 69k stars), Diagnosing Superpowers Sessions (obra/superpowers, 296k stars), GitHub Deep Research (bytedance/deer-flow, 83k stars) and Greploop (onyx-dot-app/onyx, 32k stars).
