Configuration Files

• .claude/settings.local.json - Local settings (MCP servers, allowMcp)

Release Process

Releases are automated via GitHub Actions using npm Trusted Publishing with OIDC - no tokens required.

One-Time Setup

1. Publish first version manually (required for new packages):

   npm run build
   npm publish --access public

2. Configure Trusted Publisher on npmjs.com (already done):

   • Repository: MadAppGang/magus
   • Workflow: claudeup-release.yml

Releasing New Versions

# 1. Update version in package.json
npm version patch  # or minor, major

# 2. Push the tag
git push origin main --tags

This triggers:

1. claudeup-release.yml - Builds and publishes to npm via OIDC (no tokens needed)
2. create-release.yml - Creates a GitHub release with changelog

Manual Release

npm run build
npm publish --access public
