publish-skill SKILL.md skillA

publish-skill from aperivue/medsci-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/publish-skill@git:20261004.5b44a65

Pins git:20261004.5b44a65 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when turning a personal agent skill into an open-source, distributable one. Runs a PII audit, generalizes personal details, checks licence compatibility, reviews cross-platform adapters and walks through packaging.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Skill: publish-skill

## Phase 0: Init and Identify Source

### Required Inputs

Collect from the user:

1. **Source skill path**: directory containing the personal skill (e.g., `~/.claude/skills/my-skill/` or `~/.agents/skills/my-skill/`)
2. **Target package path**: directory of the distributable package (e.g., `~/workspace/<your-package>/`)
3. **Target license**: license of the package — ask; offer MIT as the default, never assume it

### Actions

1. Read `SKILL.md` from the source skill directory
2. Inventory all files recursively (`ls -R`)
3. Classify skill type:
   - **Standalone**: self-contained skill with no agent delegation
   - **Orchestrator**: delegates to sub-agents (NOT suitable for distribution without refactoring)
   - **Wrapper**: thin wrapper around another tool/API
4. Present inventory table to the user:

```
| File | Lines | Type | Notes |
|------|-------|------|-------|
```

Make every later fix on a working copy (`<cleaned_skill_path>` below) or in the target directory.
NEVER modify the source skill in place, because it is the user's working original.

**Gate**: User confirms source skill and target package before proceeding.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/publish-skill@sha256:f05cd73ca9a1e948

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.5b44a65, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
