npm-skill-publisher

A Claude Code meta-skill: it scaffolds a complete, publishable npm package for your own Claude Code skill. Answer a few questions and you get a working installer, a SKILL.md skeleton, tests, CI, README and LICENSE — ready to npm publish.

Install

npx @ubuligan/npm-skill-publisher

Restart Claude Code to pick up the skill.

How to use

Open Claude Code in an empty folder (this will become your new skill's repo) and run:

/npm-skill-publisher

It asks for:

1. npm package name (@scope/name)
2. Skill name (kebab-case) + slash command
3. Skill description — the text that controls when Claude activates the skill
4. What the skill does — the steps that become the generated SKILL.md body
5. Author name + optional GitHub repo URL
6. Extras (CI / tests / .npmignore — all on by default)

Then it writes the whole package.

What it generates

<your-package>/
  bin/install.js                 # generic, dependency-free installer
  skills/<skill-name>/
    SKILL.md                     # frontmatter + your skill's procedure
  test/install.test.mjs          # installer smoke tests (sandboxed HOME)
  .github/workflows/ci.yml       # node --test + npm publish --dry-run
  package.json                   # scoped name, bin, files whitelist, engines
  README.md
  LICENSE                        # MIT
  .npmignore

The generated bin/install.js links the skill into ~/.claude/skills using a junction/symlink (with a copy fallback on Windows without admin), and supports --force, --uninstall, and --list.

After scaffolding, the only thing left for you to do:

npm publish --otp=<code>
