Publish and update a game on itch.io: create the project page and upload builds with the butler CLI (butler push) to named channels. Use for itch.io publishing, butler push, channel naming for Windows/macOS/Linux/HTML5, versioning uploads, or shipping a jam or release build to itch.io.
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
# itch.io Publish (butler) Get a build onto an itch.io page and keep it updated. The page is created in the browser; all uploads go through **butler**, itch.io's command-line tool, with one command you'll use forever: `butler push`. butler diffs against the previous build and uploads only what changed. Deep CI/CD and flag detail lives in `references/butler-ci.md`. ## When to use - Use when creating/updating an itch.io project page, installing or logging in to butler, uploading a build with `butler push`, choosing channel names, versioning uploads, or shipping a jam/demo/release build to itch.io. - Triggers: `butler push`, `butler login`, channels, `.itch.toml`, "publish on itch", "upload to itch". **When *not* to use:** publishing on Steam (use `steam-publish`); jam *scope/planning* (use `game-jam` — this skill is only the upload mechanics); building the game itself (engine skills). ## Core workflow 1. **Create the project page** at `itch.io/game/new`. Set the **Kind of project**: keep *Downloadable* for native builds, or choose **HTML** for a browser-playable game (this is required for web builds — see Pitfalls). Set pricing/visibility (Draft until ready). …

How to install
mdr add gamedev-skills/awesome-gamedev-agent-skills/itch-publish@sha256:bcee8af7090e732bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260808.3727d02, 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.
