Publish Skill

This skill manages the release process for klaude-code, including version management, changelog updates, git tagging, and PyPI publishing.

Prerequisites

• UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN environment variable must be set for PyPI publishing
• pnpm must be available to build the bundled web frontend before release
• Working directory must be the klaude-code repository root
• Git repository must be clean (no uncommitted changes)
• Git submodules must be initialized and up-to-date (src/klaude_code/skill/assets)

Before starting the release workflow, run:

git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --init --recursive

Release Workflow

Step 1: Determine Version Bump Type

Ask the user which version bump type to apply:

• major - Breaking changes (X.0.0)
• minor - New features, backwards compatible (x.Y.0)
• patch - Bug fixes, backwards compatible (x.y.Z)

Step 2: Run Version Bump Script

Execute the version bump script to update pyproject.toml:

uv run .claude/skills/publish/scripts/bump_version.py <bump_type>

The script will:

1. Read current version from pyproject.toml
2. Calculate new version based on bump type
3. Update pyproject.toml with new version
4. Output the old and new version numbers

Step 3: Update CHANGELOG.md

Execute the changelog update script:

uv run .claude/skills/publish/scripts/update_changelog.py <new_version>

The script will:

1. Get commits since the last tag
2. Categorize commits by type (feat, fix, refactor, etc.)
3. Update CHANGELOG.md with the new version section
4. Move [Unreleased] changes to the new version

Step 4: Commit and Tag

This project uses jj (Jujutsu) in colocated mode with git. Create a release commit and tag:

# Describe current change as release commit
jj describe -m "chore(release): v<new_version>"

# Create new empty change for future work
jj new

# Get the git commit id of the release commit (jj's @- syntax doesn't work with git)
jj log -r @- -T 'commit_id' --no-graph

# Create tag using the git commit id
git tag v<new_version> <commit_id>

Step 5: Push Changes

Push the commit and tag to remote:

# Move main bookmark to the release commit, then push
jj bookmark set main -r @-
jj git push

# Push the tag
git push origin v<new_version>

# Ensure submodule commit is reachable to other environments
git submodule update --init --recursive

Step 6: Build and Publish

Build the frontend, verify the wheel bundles the web assets and system skill assets, then publish to PyPI:

pnpm --dir web install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm --dir web build

uv build

uv run python - <<'PY'
from pathlib import Path
from zipfile import ZipFile

wheel = sorted(Path("dist").glob("*.whl"))[-1]
with ZipFile(wheel) as archive:
    names = set(archive.namelist())

required = {
    "klaude_code/web/dist/index.html",
    "klaude_code/skill/assets/web-search/SKILL.md",
}
missing = sorted(required - names)
if missing:
    raise SystemExit(f"Wheel is missing bundled assets: {', '.join(missing)}")

print(f"Verified bundled web + skill assets in {wheel.name}")
PY

uv publish

Do not publish if the wheel verification fails. That means the package build no longer includes required bundled assets (web or skills).

Error Handling

• If git working directory is dirty, prompt user to commit or stash changes first
• If UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN is not set, warn user before publishing step
• If any step fails, provide clear error message and recovery instructions

Scripts

• scripts/bump_version.py - Handles semantic version bumping
• scripts/update_changelog.py - Updates CHANGELOG.md with commits since last tag
