Publish Quarto Project

When the user invokes /publish, commit and publish the Quarto project to GitHub Pages.

Steps

1. Check for Changes

git status

If no changes, inform the user and stop.

2. Show What Will Be Committed

List the changed files and ask the user for a commit message, or suggest one based on recent work.

3. Commit and Push

git add .
git commit -m "USER_MESSAGE

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>"
git push

4. Publish to GitHub Pages

quarto publish gh-pages --no-prompt

If quarto is not in PATH, try /usr/local/bin/quarto.

5. Confirm

Tell the user:

• Commit was created
• Site will be live in 1-3 minutes at the GitHub Pages URL
• Provide the URL if known (check _quarto.yml or git remote)

Notes

• This skill assumes the project is already set up for GitHub Pages (has gh-pages branch)
• If quarto publish fails, show the error and suggest troubleshooting steps
• The GitHub Pages URL follows the pattern: https://ORG.github.io/REPO/
