deploy-npm SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

Release an npm package: version, CHANGELOG, publish, verify. Use when "publish this package", "release to npm", or "ship a new npm version". Running-app production deploy → workflow-ship-and-observe.

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

# deploy-npm — Full release workflow

**Degree of freedom: MIXED.** Semver/changeset judgment `[HIGH freedom]`;
git/gh/npm publish steps `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`. Never `pnpm publish`
locally when the repo uses Trusted Publisher.

## How to reason

1. **Observe** — branch, dirty tree, open PRs, pending changesets, release.yml trigger
2. **Interpret** — is this a changeset-ready release or a no-op?
3. **Classify** — proceed / stop-and-ask (dirty tree, conflicting PRs, no changeset)
4. **Severity** — publishing the wrong bump or skipping verify is a user-facing break

## Worked example

> **Observe:** feature PR green; one minor changeset; Version PR opened by the bot; required checks never fired.
> **Interpret:** GitHub anti-loop suppressed CI on the bot branch.
> **Classify:** empty-commit to trigger CI (Phase 4), then merge Version PR.
> **Verify:** `npm view` shows the new version; do not publish from the laptop.

## Self-critique before reporting

- **Phase order** — no publish before version PR + green CI
- **Verify** — `npm view` (and GH Release) ran after publish, not assumed
- **No local publish** — Trusted Publisher path only

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kensaurus/skills/deploy-npm@sha256:404ceed66598d0f4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.cf348bd, 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.
