At a glance

Releases a new imcui version on GitHub, then deploys it to a test and a production Hugging Face Space from a dedicated huggingface branch.

Works in 4 steps: Release new version on GitHub → Update huggingface branch → Deploy to test Space → …
Releasing a new imcui version
SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Branch Setup (one-time), Release & Deploy Workflow and HuggingFace Space Configuration, plus 1 more section
Calls git and gh; reaches huggingface.co and huggingface.co.username

What it does

A full release pipeline for the image-matching-webui project: bump the version in pyproject.toml, add any new dependencies, tag and publish the release on GitHub, then deploy to a Hugging Face test Space and finally the production Space. The GitHub release triggers CI workflows that publish a Docker Hub image and a PyPI wheel.

Deployment uses a lightweight orphan branch named huggingface that holds app.py, requirements.txt pinned to the imcui version, packages.txt, config/app.yaml and a README with Space metadata. The agent waits for the PyPI release to finish (about 10 minutes), force-pushes the branch to the test remote, checks the Space, and only then pushes to production. ZeroGPU needs the Gradio SDK, and Python is pinned to 3.12 because imcui does not yet support 3.13. Config changes on main are synced across by hand.

When your agent uses it

Releasing a new imcui version
Deploying the huggingface branch to the test Space before production
Syncing matcher config from main into the huggingface branch

Example prompts

“Ship a new version of imcui and deploy it to Hugging Face.”
“Push the huggingface branch to the test Space and tell me when I can check it.”
“New matchers were added on main, so sync config/app.yaml to the huggingface branch.”

Requirements

A checkout of the image-matching-webui repository
GitHub CLI (gh) and Hugging Face CLI (hf), both authenticated
Git remotes named hf-test and hf-prod for the two Spaces

Workflow steps

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

Release new version on GitHub
Update huggingface branch
Deploy to test Space
Deploy to production Space

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa4a6d0. 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:
- git
- gh
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:
- huggingface.co
- huggingface.co.username
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

Hugging Face Spaces Deploy loads about 721 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~721

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.

description: Release a new imcui version and deploy to HuggingFace Spaces (test → prod). Invoke when user asks to release, deploy, or ship a new version.

Deploy to HuggingFace Spaces

This skill handles the full release pipeline: version bump → tag → release → deploy to HF test → deploy to HF prod.

Prerequisites

Working inside image-matching-webui project root
Authenticated with GitHub (gh) and HuggingFace (hf)
HF git credential configured (see branch setup below)

Branch Setup (one-time)

bash

# Add HF remotes (only needed once)
git remote add hf-test https://huggingface.co/spaces/Realcat/imcui
git remote add hf-prod https://huggingface.co/spaces/Realcat/image-matching-webui

# Configure git credential for HF
git config --global credential.https://huggingface.co.username Realcat

Release & Deploy Workflow

Step 1: Release new version on GitHub

bash

# On main branch
# 1. Bump version in pyproject.toml
# 2. Add any new deps to requirements.txt
# 3. Commit
git add pyproject.toml requirements.txt
git commit -m "chore: bump version to X.Y.Z"
git push origin main

# 4. Tag and release
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z: <description>"
git push origin vX.Y.Z
gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z" --notes "..."

This triggers two CI workflows:

docker-publish.yml (on tag v*) → Docker Hub image
release.yml (on release published) → PyPI whl

Step 2: Update huggingface branch

bash

git checkout huggingface
# Update requirements.txt: imcui==X.Y.Z
git add requirements.txt
git commit -m "chore: bump imcui to X.Y.Z"
git push origin huggingface

Step 3: Deploy to test Space

Wait for PyPI release to complete (~10 min), then:

bash

git push hf-test huggingface:main --force

Verify at https://huggingface.co/spaces/Realcat/imcui

Step 4: Deploy to production Space

After confirming test Space works:

bash

git push hf-prod huggingface:main --force

HuggingFace Space Configuration

The huggingface branch is a lightweight orphan branch containing only deployment files:

File	Purpose
`app.py`	Launcher importing from `imcui` package
`requirements.txt`	`imcui==X.Y.Z` (pulls all deps from PyPI)
`packages.txt`	System deps: `build-essential`, `ffmpeg`, `libsm6`, `libxext6`
`config/app.yaml`	Full matcher zoo config
`README.md`	HF metadata: `sdk: gradio`, `python_version: "3.12"`, `pinned: true`

ZeroGPU requires Gradio SDK (not Docker). Python pinned to 3.12 because imcui does not support 3.13 yet.

Sync config from main

When main's imcui/config/app.yaml changes (new matchers added), sync to huggingface branch:

bash

git checkout huggingface
cp imcui/config/app.yaml config/app.yaml
git add config/app.yaml
git commit -m "chore: sync config from main"
git push origin huggingface
