NPM Release

npm-release

Publish @yya007/skill-finder to npmjs.com with a guided release workflow.

Agent Instructions

When this skill triggers, follow these steps in order. Stop and report any failure immediately.

Step 1 — Verify npm login

npm whoami

If the command fails or returns a user other than yya007, stop and tell the user:

"Not logged in to npm. Run npm login first."

Step 2 — Show current version

node -p "require('./package.json').version"

Report the current version to the user and ask what type of bump they want: patch, minor, or major — unless they already specified it.

Step 3 — OSS precheck

Run this before touching the package to catch anything that shouldn't ship.

3a — Secrets scan: search all tracked files for credentials.

git ls-files | xargs grep -l "ghp_[a-zA-Z0-9]\{36\}\|npm_[a-zA-Z0-9]\{36\}\|sk-[a-zA-Z0-9]\{32\}" 2>/dev/null

git ls-files | xargs grep -rn "password\s*=\s*['\"][^'\"]\|api_key\s*=\s*['\"][^'\"]\|secret\s*=\s*['\"][^'\"]" 2>/dev/null

If any real secrets are found (not placeholders like ghp_your_token_here or fake-token), stop immediately and tell the user.

3b — Sensitive files check: confirm no .env, credential, or key files are tracked.

git ls-files | grep -E "\.(env|key|pem|p12|pfx|crt|secret)$|credentials|\.npmrc$"

Any output here is a blocker — remove those files and purge from git history before proceeding.

3c — README accuracy check:

Check that the skill count in the README matches data/version.txt:

python3 -c "
import re, sys
readme = open('README.md').read()
version = open('data/version.txt').read()

# Extract actual count from version.txt
actual = int(re.search(r'skill_count:\s*(\d+)', version).group(1))

# Extract the rounded/displayed count from stats marker
m = re.search(r'stats:skill-count:start -->(.*?)<!--', readme)
displayed = m.group(1).strip() if m else 'NOT FOUND'

print(f'data/version.txt skill_count: {actual:,}')
print(f'README stats marker:          {displayed}')

# Check filter logic description is accurate
if 'Listed in a curated registry' in readme or 'SkillHub rank S or A' in readme:
    print('WARN: README still contains outdated filter rules (curated registry / SkillHub rank exemptions)')
    sys.exit(1)
else:
    print('OK: filter logic description looks current')
"

If the skill count in the README is stale (off by more than a minor rounding), update the stats marker and the tagline count, then commit the fix before proceeding.

If outdated filter rules are detected, fix README's "What gets indexed" section before proceeding.

Step 4 — Dry run (always run before publishing)

npm publish --dry-run 2>&1

Show the user the list of files that would be included. Confirm:

• scripts/search.py, scripts/requirements.txt, scripts/__init__.py are present.
• scripts/fetch_skill.py and scripts/update_index.py are not present (developer-only tools, excluded from the npm package — available in the git repo).
• data/index.faiss, data/metadata.jsonl, data/version.txt are present.
• SKILL.md and plugin.json are present.
• No crawlers/, pipeline/, tests/, docs/, __pycache__/, or .sh files appear.

If unexpected files appear, stop and ask the user to review .npmignore and the files list in package.json.

Step 5 — Local smoke test

Pack the tarball and install it into a temporary directory to verify the package works end-to-end before publishing.

npm pack

mkdir -p /tmp/sf-release-test && \
  cd /tmp/sf-release-test && \
  npm install <path-to-repo>/yya007-skill-finder-*.tgz 2>&1

(Replace <path-to-repo> with the absolute path to the SkillFinder repo root.)

Verify the installed file tree is correct:

find /tmp/sf-release-test/node_modules/@yya007/skill-finder -type f | sort

Confirm:

• data/index.faiss, data/metadata.jsonl, data/version.txt exist.
• All five scripts/*.py files exist.
• SKILL.md and plugin.json exist.
• No __pycache__ or .sh files appear.

Install Python dependencies from the installed package:

pip install -r /tmp/sf-release-test/node_modules/@yya007/skill-finder/scripts/requirements.txt -q

Run a live search from the installed package location to confirm index loads and results are returned:

python /tmp/sf-release-test/node_modules/@yya007/skill-finder/scripts/search.py "deploy kubernetes" --no-json 2>&1 | head -20

The search must return at least one result with a name, star count, and install command. If it fails or returns no results, stop and investigate before publishing.

Clean up:

rm -rf /tmp/sf-release-test && rm -f yya007-skill-finder-*.tgz

Step 6 — Bump version

npm version <patch|minor|major> --no-git-tag-version

Use the bump type from Step 2. Report the new version (e.g. 0.1.0 → 0.1.1).

Step 7 — Publish

npm publish --access public

npm will prompt for a one-time password if 2FA is enabled. Tell the user to enter their authenticator code when prompted — or pass --otp <code> if they provide it in advance.

On success, report:

"Published @yya007/skill-finder@ to npmjs.com" "View: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@yya007/skill-finder"

Step 8 — Stamp the npm version on the release log, then commit and tag

Record the published npm version against the current index release in the release-history log (idempotent; keyed by data/version.txt date):

python pipeline/update_release_log.py --npm-version <new-version>

Then commit the bump + the log update and tag:

git add package.json data/release_log.jsonl docs/release-log.md
git commit -m "chore: bump npm version to <new-version>"
git tag v<new-version>

Ask the user:

"Push the version commit and tag to GitHub? [y/N]"

If yes:

git push && git push --tags

Step 9 — Report

Summarise:

• Package name and new version
• Files published
• npm URL
• Git tag (if pushed)

If the user found it helpful, remind them:

"If SkillFinder was useful, consider starring the repo: https://github.com/yya007/SkillFinder"
