  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by danielvm-git on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Publish Package AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/danielvm-git/bigpowers.git /tmp/bigpowers
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/bigpowers/skills/publish-package .claude/skills/publish-package
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Publish Package in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Publish Package on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Publish Package is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Publish Package

HARD GATE — Do not attempt to publish without verifying prerequisites. Missing auth tokens, stale builds, or duplicate versions cause CI failures that are hard to debug post-push.

HARD GATE — Always run --dry-run first. Package registries are append-only — a bad publish cannot be fully undone on most registries.

Publish packages to language-specific registries. Detects package type from manifest files, verifies publish prerequisites, runs the registry-specific publish command, and confirms the version appears on the registry.

Process

1. Detect package type

Read the project root for manifest files to determine the package type:

ManifestRegistryPublish command
package.jsonnpmnpm publish --access public
Cargo.tomlcrates.iocargo publish
setup.py / pyproject.tomlPyPItwine upload dist/* or flit publish
Formula/<name>.rbHomebrewbrew bump-formula-pr
Multiple detectedPolyglotError: specify registry with `--registry <npm

If no manifest is found, prompt the user to specify the type or pass --type <npm|crates.io|pypi|brew>.

2. Verify prerequisites

Before attempting any publish, run all applicable checks:

npm (package.json): See REFERENCE.md

crates.io (Cargo.toml): See REFERENCE.md

PyPI (setup.py / pyproject.toml): See REFERENCE.md

3. Run publish

After all prerequisite checks pass, run the registry-specific command:

See REFERENCE.md

4. Verify publish success

After publish, confirm the version appears on the registry:

See REFERENCE.md

5. Error handling

On failure, surface actionable hints:

See REFERENCE.md

6. Dry-run mode (--dry-run)

Run --dry-run to verify all prerequisites without actually publishing:

See REFERENCE.md

7. Dry-run mode per registry

See REFERENCE.md

Verify

→ verify: test -f skills/publish-package/SKILL.md && test -f package.json → verify: grep -q publish-package SKILL-INDEX.md

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Publish Package AI skill do?

Package registry publishing for npm, crates.io, PyPI, and Homebrew. Verifies prerequisites, runs the publish command, confirms success, and surfaces actionable error hints on failure.

Why use Publish Package on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Publish Package is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Publish Package in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/danielvm-git/bigpowers/tree/main/skills/publish-package. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Publish Package?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Publish Package?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Publish Package with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Publish Package AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by danielvm-git under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
