## What it does

The skill takes your learning text, strips project-specific context, and opens a PR against the configured groovebook repo. The file lands at `learned/<topic>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md`, and the PR body follows the groovebook template: Summary, Context, Learning, Groove skill area. When it finishes, it prints the PR URL.

Two things must be in place first: a `groovebook: <owner>/<repo>` line in `.groove/index.md` and GitHub auth via `gh auth login`. Without the config line the skill exits with a message that groovebook is not configured, so check that file before you run it. It also forks the repo if you have no fork yet and creates a branch named `learning/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>`.

Expect a few questions: topic, skill area, and a one-sentence summary. Before publishing, the skill previews the text and asks whether it holds internal names, file paths or product names. If it does, it helps you swap them for generic wording. Slugs are lowercased and cut to 40 characters, and a taken branch name gets a `-2`, `-3` suffix.

```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/andreadellacorte/groove/tree/HEAD/skills/groove-groovebook-publish/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- publish a project learning to a shared repo as a PR
- redact internal names and file paths before publishing
- build a learning file in the groovebook template
- fork the repo and create a branch without manual git work
- share a pattern or anti-pattern with the community

## Example prompts
- Publish this learning to groovebook: run the linter before waiting on CI in a review PR.
- groove-groovebook-publish: topic patterns, skill area compound, summary — test migrations against a database copy.
- Send the groovebook learning about how we split long tasks into steps.

# groove-groovebook-publish

Use $ARGUMENTS as the learning text if provided.

## Outcome

A learning from the current project is published to the configured groovebook repo as a pull request, stripped of any project-specific context, ready for community review.

## Acceptance Criteria

- Learning is published as a PR to `<groovebook>` repo
- PR uses the groovebook PR template format (Summary, Context, Learning, Groove skill area)
- File is written at `learned/<topic>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md` in the groovebook repo
- PR URL is printed to the user

## Steps

1. Read `groovebook:` from `.groove/index.md`; if absent, exit with:
   `groovebook is not configured. Add 'groovebook: <owner>/<repo>' to .groove/index.md to enable.`

2. Check `gh auth status`; if not authenticated, exit with:
   `Not authenticated with GitHub. Run: gh auth login`

3. Verify the groovebook repo is accessible: `gh repo view <groovebook>`; if it fails, exit with a clear message.

4. Get the learning text:
   - If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as a starting point
   - Otherwise: ask "What's the learning you'd like to publish? (paste it or describe briefly)"
   - Ask for a one-sentence summary (used as PR title and filename slug)

5. Show a preview of the learning text and ask:
   `Does this contain any repo-specific context to redact? (file paths, internal names, product names)`
   - If yes: help the user redact it — replace specific names with generic descriptions
   - If no: proceed

6. Ask for topic (e.g. `patterns`, `tools`, `anti-patterns`, `workflow`) and skill area (e.g. `compound`, `plan`, `review`, `daily`)

7. Generate slug: lowercase the summary, replace spaces with hyphens, strip special characters, truncate to 40 chars. Construct:
   - Branch name: `learning/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>`
   - File path: `learned/<topic>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md`

8. Fork the groovebook repo if not already forked: `gh repo fork <groovebook> --clone=false`
   - If fork already exists, skip silently

9. Create the branch and file:
```
