What it does
Brewer is an agent skill from Brewforge/homebrew-chinese. 维护 Homebrew cask 到 brewforge/chinese 仓库。触发场景：(1) 用户要求添加或更新 cask；(2) 用户提供上游 cask 文件 URL；(3) 用户提到将软件收录到 brewforge。
Its SKILL.md is about 460 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 Homebrew and macOS. The repository describes itself as: 🀄️咱自己人的软件🏮咱自己人的仓库🧧. The licence is BSD-2-Clause.
Example prompts
- “/brewer”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f8d138. 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:
brewgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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.
Context cost
Brewer loads about 461 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 149 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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.

Brewer
将上游 Homebrew cask 维护到 brewforge/chinese 仓库。仓库结构和规范见 CLAUDE.md。
脚本位于 .claude/scripts/，出错时再手动介入。
流程
- 获取上游信息 + 下载 + 元信息（脚本自动）
- 创建 Cask 文件（zap 留空）
- 安装 App 并生成 zap（需用户交互）
- 检查与校正（脚本自动）
- 更新 README + 提交
1. 获取上游信息 + 下载 + 元信息
GitHub 项目
先用 gh api 确认版本命名规律：
gh api repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases --paginate \
--jq '.[] | {tag: .tag_name, assets: [.assets[] | .name]}' | head -20执行 inspect 脚本
对每个架构的 DMG/ZIP 运行：
.claude/scripts/brewer-inspect.sh <download_url> [arm|intel|universal]脚本自动完成：下载 → SHA256 → 挂载/解压 → 提取 app_name / bundle_id / min_os / needs_xattr。
输出末尾的 === 汇总 === 包含所有需要的字段值。
多架构时对 arm 和 intel 各运行一次。
脚本不会卸载 DMG，后续步骤可能需要。
2. 创建 Cask 文件
路径 Casks/{首字母}/{cask-name}.rb，按 CLAUDE.md 格式编写。
根据 inspect 输出填写：
sha256← 脚本输出的 sha256depends_on macos:← 脚本输出的 min_os（映射到符号名）app← 脚本输出的 app_namepreflight xattr -cr← 仅当 needs_xattr=truezap trash: []← 先留空
macOS 版本映射：12→monterey, 13→ventura, 14→sonoma, 15→sequoia
3. 安装 App 并生成 zap
brew install --cask brewforge/chinese/{cask-name}安装完成后提示用户运行一次软件，等待用户确认。
用户确认后：
brew createzap brewforge/chinese/{cask-name}将输出填入 cask 的 zap 字段。
4. 检查与校正
.claude/scripts/brewer-check.sh {cask-name}脚本依次执行 brew style --fix → brew audit --strict → brew lc --cask。
任何命令报错时，询问用户是否重试或跳过。不要自行决定跳过。
5. 更新 README + 提交
每个软件都必须更新 README 并立即 commit，不要跳过 README，不要攒多个软件一起提交。
- 在对应分类表格中按字母序插入新条目（不需要手动对齐列宽，插入纯内容即可，用户会用编辑器格式化表格）
- 徽章：
a.svg=开源b.svg=闭源1.svg=免费2.svg=买断3.svg=订阅 - 检查是否有其他 cask 文件未列入 README，一并补充
- rb 文件和 README 改动合并为单次 commit，格式：
{cask-name} {version}
