    "User request" -> "Validate skill structure";
    "Validate skill structure" -> "Check marketplace state";
    "Check marketplace state" -> "Conflict?";
    "Conflict?" -> "Show diff + warn" [label="yes"];
    "Conflict?" -> "Copy skill files" [label="no"];
    "Show diff + warn" -> "User confirms?";

    "User confirms?" -> "Abort" [label="no"];
    "Copy skill files" -> "Call /publish-plugin bump";
    "Call /publish-plugin bump" -> "Complete";
}

Steps

1. Validate Skill Structure

Check source skill:

bash
SKILL_NAME="skill-name"
SOURCE="$HOME/.claude/skills/$SKILL_NAME"

# Verify exists
test -f "$SOURCE/SKILL.md" || { echo "Error: SKILL.md not found"; exit 1; }

# Verify frontmatter
grep -q "^name:" "$SOURCE/SKILL.md" || { echo "Error: Missing 'name' in frontmatter"; exit 1; }
grep -q "^description:" "$SOURCE/SKILL.md" || { echo "Error: Missing 'description' in frontmatter"; exit 1; }

2. Check Marketplace State

bash
MARKETPLACE="$HOME/repos/saurun-marketplace"
TARGET="$MARKETPLACE/plugins/saurun/skills/$SKILL_NAME"

# Check if skill exists
if [ -d "$TARGET" ]; then
    # Compare modification times
    LOCAL_TIME=$(stat -f %m "$SOURCE/SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null || stat -c %Y "$SOURCE/SKILL.md")
    MARKET_TIME=$(stat -f %m "$TARGET/SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null || stat -c %Y "$TARGET/SKILL.md")

    if [ "$MARKET_TIME" -gt "$LOCAL_TIME" ]; then
        echo "⚠️  WARNING: Marketplace version is NEWER than local"
        echo "Local:       $(date -r $LOCAL_TIME)"
        echo "Marketplace: $(date -r $MARKET_TIME)"

        # Show diff
        diff -u "$TARGET/SKILL.md" "$SOURCE/SKILL.md" || true

        # Ask user
        echo ""
        echo "Options:"
        echo "  1. ABORT - Don't deploy"
        echo "  2. REVERSE - Copy marketplace → local"
        echo "  3. FORCE - Overwrite marketplace (use with caution)"
        # Wait for user decision
    fi
fi

# Check git state
cd "$MARKETPLACE"
if ! git diff --quiet; then
    echo "⚠️  WARNING: Marketplace has uncommitted changes"
    git status --short
    # Ask user to commit or continue
fi

3. Copy Skill Files

Platform detection:

bash
# Detect platform
case "$(uname -s)" in
    Darwin|Linux)  PLATFORM="unix" ;;
    MINGW*|MSYS*)  PLATFORM="windows" ;;
    *)             PLATFORM="unix" ;;
esac

Copy command:

bash
if [ "$PLATFORM" = "unix" ]; then
    # Mac/Linux: Use rsync
    rsync -av --delete "$SOURCE/" "$TARGET/"
else
    # Windows: Use robocopy or cp
    cp -r "$SOURCE"/* "$TARGET/"
fi

4. Call /publish-plugin bump

This command handles:

  • Version bumping (both plugin.json and marketplace.json)
  • Git commit with standardized message
  • Git push to origin
bash
# Just invoke the command
/publish-plugin bump

The command will:

  • Increment version: 1.0.161.0.17
  • Update both JSON files
  • Commit: chore(plugin): publish plugin v1.0.17
  • Push to GitHub

Quick Reference

Deploy skill:

bash
# Example: Deploy web-design-wizard
SKILL="web-design-wizard"
rsync -av --delete ~/.claude/skills/$SKILL/ \
    ~/repos/saurun-marketplace/plugins/saurun/skills/$SKILL/

cd ~/repos/saurun-marketplace
/publish-plugin bump

Common Issues

Issue Solution
"SKILL.md not found" Verify skill exists in ~/.claude/skills/
"Missing frontmatter" Add name and description to ---...--- block
"Marketplace is newer" Show diff, ask user to confirm overwrite
"Uncommitted changes" Ask user to commit or stash first
"Git push fails" Check network, credentials, conflicts

Supporting Files

The workflow automatically copies entire skill directory, including:

  • SKILL.md (required)
  • references/ (optional)
  • scripts/ (optional)
  • Any other supporting files

Safety Checks (Always Performed)

  • ✅ Validate SKILL.md exists
  • ✅ Validate frontmatter present
  • ✅ Check marketplace git state
  • ✅ Compare modification times
  • ✅ Show diff if overwriting
  • ✅ Ask user confirmation on conflicts

Never skip these checks, even under time pressure.
