Context Guard

• Do NOT use for skill creation (that's Forge)
• Do NOT use for plugin development
• Do NOT use for npm publishing (different workflow)
• This skill ONLY handles marketplace submission via PR

Target Marketplaces

Steps

Step 1: Prepare the submission package

Verify the skill/plugin is ready:

# Verify the skill file exists and has frontmatter
head -10 skills/<category>/<name>/SKILL.md

Step 2: Fork the target repository

# Fork via GitHub CLI
gh repo fork <owner>/<repo> --clone

# Or fork via web UI at github.com/<owner>/<repo>/fork

Step 3: Create a submission branch

cd <forked-repo>
git checkout -b add-<skill-name>

Step 4: Add your content

Each marketplace has its own structure. Follow the existing patterns:

For buildwithclaude (skill directory):

# Create your skill folder
mkdir -p <skill-name>
# Copy your SKILL.md
cp /path/to/your/SKILL.md <skill-name>/SKILL.md
# Add a README if required

For awesome lists (link addition):

<!-- Add to the appropriate section in README.md -->
- [Skill Name](link) - One-line description of what it does

Step 5: Write the PR description

Follow this template:

## Add [Skill Name]

### What it does
[1-2 sentences explaining the skill's purpose]

### Trigger keywords
[List the activation triggers]

### Category
[e.g., Development, Automation, Marketing]

### Testing
- [ ] Tested locally in Claude Code
- [ ] Follows repository's contribution guidelines
- [ ] No duplicate of existing entries

### Author
[Your name/handle]

Step 6: Submit the PR

# Stage and commit
git add .
git commit -m "Add <skill-name> skill"

# Push to your fork
git push origin add-<skill-name>

# Create the PR
gh pr create --title "Add <skill-name>" --body "$(cat <<'PREOF'
## Add [Skill Name]

### What it does
[description]

### Trigger keywords
[triggers]

### Testing
- [x] Tested locally in Claude Code
- [x] Follows contribution guidelines
- [x] No duplicate of existing entries

Output Template

Marketplace Submission Checklist:
- Target: [marketplace name]

Multi-Marketplace Strategy

For maximum visibility, submit to multiple marketplaces in sequence:

1. Primary marketplace first (e.g., buildwithclaude)
2. Wait for merge
3. Submit to secondary marketplaces with link to primary

Do NOT submit proprietary or Pro skills to public marketplaces.

Disambiguation

• "submit to marketplace" / "publish my skill" = Marketplace Submit
• "build a skill" / "create a skill" = Forge (not this skill)
• "npm publish" / "publish package" = npm workflow (not this skill)
• "share on Slack" = Direct sharing (not this skill)
