What it does

Publish Mod is an agent skill from rehan-remade/universal-modder. Package and release a finished game mod. Covers the pre-release lint (no game files, decompiled code or leaked keys), README and install steps, credits and AI disclosure, versioning, where to upload (Nexus Mods, Steam Workshop, Thunderstore, mod.io, GitHub releases), and the post with a video. Use when the user wants to ship, share, upload, release or post a mod.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation and Linting and formatting. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Point Claude at any game. Skills, tools and the fal MCP that let Claude Code mod almost any PC game you own: recon, reverse engineering, fal-generated art/3D/audio, in-game… The licence is MIT.

Version and changelog
The post

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3e700e. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- fomod-docs.readthedocs.io
- stepmodifications.org
- modding.wiki
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

Publish Mod loads about 812 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 356 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~812

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:12

keys (fal/Anthropic/OpenAI/GitHub/AWS), `.env` files.

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.

name: publish-mod
description: Package and release a finished game mod. Covers the pre-release lint (no game files, decompiled code or leaked keys), README and install steps, credits and AI disclosure, versioning, where to upload (Nexus Mods, Steam Workshop, Thunderstore, mod.io, GitHub releases), and the post with a video. Use when the user wants to ship, share, upload, release or post a mod.

Publish a mod

1. Lint

bash

um publish check ./MyMod --game "<game install folder>"

FAIL: files byte-identical to game files, leaked keys (fal/Anthropic/OpenAI/GitHub/AWS), .env files.
WARN: decompiler fingerprints in source (FUN_/DAT_/sub_ names, "Decompiled with" headers), large engine archives, absolute user paths, a missing README, fal assets without credit.

Fix every FAIL. Resolve each WARN deliberately. For example, AoE2 data mods do ship a modified .dat, which is the platform's norm.

2. Package the way the platform expects

Platform / loader	Package
tModLoader	Build → `.tmod`; publish from the in-game Mod Sources menu (Steam Workshop)
BepInEx / Thunderstore	zip with `manifest.json`, `icon.png` (256×256), `README.md`, `plugins/<Mod>.dll`; dependency strings like `BepInEx-BepInExPack-5.4.2100`
Nexus Mods	zip laid out as it installs (`Data/...` for Bethesda, `BepInEx/plugins/...`, `ue4ss/Mods/...`, `~mods/*.pak`)
AoE2 DE	the official mod site (ageofempires.com/mods) or the in-game uploader; data mods include `resources/_common/dat/...`
Steam Workshop	the game's own uploader or SDK tool
Minecraft	Modrinth / CurseForge jar with `fabric.mod.json` / `neoforge.mods.toml`
ROM hacks / GameMaker	patches only (BPS/IPS/xdelta), never the modified game file

A Nexus mod with options gets a FOMOD installer: see the FOMOD tutorial and STEP's FOMOD guide. Nexus Mods' own modding wiki covers the rest of their site's conventions.

Show full SKILL.md (175 more words)Show less

3. README (in the zip and on the page)

What it adds: bullets, a GIF or the showcase video.
Requirements: game version, the loader and its version, dependencies.
Install, uninstall and troubleshooting (where the log is).
Compatibility: multiplayer? Known conflicts?
Credits:
- the loader and libraries;
- references you learned from;
- "Art/audio generated with fal (fal.ai) using <models>" (fal_manifest.jsonl lists them);
- honest AI disclosure (which agent and model built it).
License for your code (MIT/Apache is common). Your assets' terms follow the models' licenses.

4. Version and changelog

Use semver in the manifest/build file, name the supported game version, and keep a changelog. When the game updates, re-run the in-game test scene before bumping.

5. The post

Lead with the video: the showcase-video skill; 20-45 s, gameplay within 2-3 s.
Post text: the hook, what it is, the "how" credit (which agent + fal built it), a link.
If the video uses anyone else's footage, credit them by handle and ask first.
Publishing is always the user's call. Draft it, show them, and let them press the button.
