public-ready
Skill0 starsChanged 5 months agoMITView on GitHub
Audit a repo for public release and, on approval, publish it. Scans tracked files for secrets, PII, and interview/hiring/portfolio framing; verifies tests + lint are green; checks LICENSE / README / .gitignore / CI; then (only when you say so) runs gh repo create --public --push. Use when the user wants to make a repo public, open-source it, ship it, or run a pre-publish / public-readiness check.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 10
Run the publish-readiness audit, fix or surface findings, then publish only on explicit approval.
- Distinctive: line 19
Run the bundled scanner over the repo's *tracked* files and read its output:
- Very specific: line 59
No secrets, tokens, .env, or personal data in tracked files — ever.
- Distinctive: line 60
Prefer fixing in place; surface anything you can't safely auto-fix rather than publishing around it.
- Distinctive: line 62
If something you find contradicts how the repo was described, stop and say so.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Make a repo public-ready
Run the publish-readiness audit, fix or surface findings, then publish only on
explicit approval. Publishing is outward-facing and hard to undo — never run the
gh repo create / push step without a clear "yes".
1. Scope the target
Target repo = $1 (a path) or the current working directory. Confirm it's a git
repo before proceeding.
2. Run the deterministic scan
Run the bundled scanner over the repo's tracked files and read its output:
bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/audit.sh" "$1"It flags: secrets/keys/.env/state files tracked in git, high-entropy token
patterns, personal email addresses, and interview/hiring/portfolio framing, plus
a hygiene checklist (LICENSE / README / .gitignore / CI / clean tree). Treat any
flag as a blocker until resolved.
3. Verify green (language-aware)
Detect the project type and run what applies — report real output, never claim green without running:
- Python:
ruff check .andpython -m pytest -q(or the project's configured commands). - Node: the configured lint +
npm test. - Other: the project's documented test/lint commands.
4. Hygiene + framing review
- LICENSE present? README accurate (no stale scaffold/boilerplate text)?
.gitignorecovers state, secrets, and build artifacts?- A CI workflow under
.github/workflows/? Offer to add a minimal one if missing. - Working tree clean — is everything intended actually committed?
- Framing: strip interview / hiring / portfolio / "for reviewers" language from anything public. This is a hard rule; suggest neutral wording ("Try it yourself").
5. Report, then publish on approval
Summarize: blockers found (and fixed), green status, hygiene gaps. Offer to fix small issues in place. Then, only if the user explicitly approves, publish — confirming the authenticated account first so it lands in the right place:
gh api user --jq .login # confirm the target account
gh repo create <name> --public --source . --remote origin --push --description "<one-liner>"For a private-first workflow, use --private and tell the user how to flip it
public later. After pushing, confirm CI is green (gh run list).
Notes
- No secrets, tokens,
.env, or personal data in tracked files — ever. - Prefer fixing in place; surface anything you can't safely auto-fix rather than publishing around it.
- If something you find contradicts how the repo was described, stop and say so.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
