# release-core-test Publishes cyrus-core as a -test.N prerelease under the npm test dist-tag so a hosted GUI can install an unreleased build without touching latest. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 712 installs · ★ 873 - Author: cyrusagents - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/cyrusagents/cyrus/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/release-core-test/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-25 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/release-core-test ## What it does Reach for this skill when a Cyrus change spans both CYPACK (edgeworker plus CLI) and CYHOST, the Vercel-hosted GUI, and that GUI has to point at an unreleased `cyrus-core` from the repo. Instead of the full release flow you get a `-test.N` version under the `test` dist-tag, and CYHOST installs it with `cyrus-core@test`. The `latest` dist-tag stays where it was, so production installs are unaffected. The workflow runs from the repo root: `pnpm install`, then `pnpm build`, then a check on whether `claude-runner` needs republishing. It depends on `cyrus-core` through `workspace:*`, so if its local version is not on npm yet, or `packages/claude-runner/src` has uncommitted changes, installing `cyrus-core@test` fails on an unresolved dependency. After that the patch version of `cyrus-core` gets a `-test.N` suffix, publishing uses `--tag test` and `--no-git-checks`, and `npm view cyrus-core dist-tags` confirms `latest` did not move. The skill commits nothing. The version bump in `packages/core/package.json` stays a local working-tree edit, and there is no CHANGELOG update, git tag, GitHub release or pull request. One practical note: `pnpm install` plus `pnpm build` take roughly 3 minutes on a clean tree, so set command timeouts with room to spare. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add cyrusagents/cyrus --skill release-core-test -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/release-core-test/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/release-core-test/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add cyrusagents/cyrus --skill release-core-test -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/release-core-test/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add cyrusagents/cyrus --skill release-core-test -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/release-core-test/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install cyrusagents/cyrus release-core-test ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/release-core-test/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add cyrusagents/cyrus --skill release-core-test -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/cyrusagents/cyrus --path .claude/skills/release-core-test ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/release-core-test/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add cyrusagents/cyrus --skill release-core-test -a opencode ``` ### 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/cyrusagents/cyrus/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/release-core-test/SKILL.md ## When to use it - publish a test build of cyrus-core without moving the latest tag - decide whether claude-runner needs republishing first - pick the next free -test.N number for the current patch - confirm the latest dist-tag stayed put after publishing - hand the developer copy-paste install commands for the test build ## Example prompts - Run the release-core-test skill and publish a test build of cyrus-core - Check whether claude-runner needs a republish, then build the packages from root - Publish cyrus-core under the test tag and print the install commands ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE edc39ae3dd5a7306 ````text --- name: release-core-test description: Invoke when dev-testing a Cyrus change that spans CYPACK (edgeworker + CLI) and CYHOST (Vercel-hosted GUI) and the hosted GUI needs to point at an unreleased `cyrus-core` from this repo. Publishes `cyrus-core` (and `claude-runner` if needed) as a `-test.N` prerelease under the npm `test` dist-tag so CYHOST can install it via `cyrus-core@test` without affecting the `latest` dist-tag or shipping a real release. --- # Release Core (Test) Publish ONLY the `cyrus-core` package (and `claude-runner` if needed) as a dev/test prerelease to npm under the `test` dist-tag. This is a developer convenience for iterating on `cyrus-core` without going through the full release flow. ## What this skill does NOT do This skill is intentionally minimal. It does **NOT**: - Update `CHANGELOG.md` or `CHANGELOG.internal.md` - Create a git tag - Create a GitHub release - Move any Linear issues - Open a pull request - Commit the version bump (the bumped `package.json` is left as a local working-tree change) It also does NOT publish any other workspace package (no `edge-worker`, no `cyrus` CLI, no `linear-event-transport`, etc.). The only exception is `claude-runner`, which is republished if and only if its `workspace:*` reference would otherwise resolve to an unpublished version (see step 3 below). ## Workflow ### 1. Install dependencies from repo root ```bash pnpm install ``` ### 2. Build all packages from repo root ```bash pnpm build ``` Building all packages ensures `workspace:*` dependencies are resolved before publishing. ### 3. Determine whether `claude-runner` needs republishing `cyrus-core` depends on `claude-runner` via `workspace:*`. When `cyrus-core` is published, that `workspace:*` is rewritten to the version currently in `packages/claude-runner/package.json`. If that version isn't actually on npm yet (because `claude-runner` has local changes since its last publish), consumers installing `cyrus-core@test` will fail to resolve the dependency. Run both of these deterministic checks: ```bash # (a) Is the local claude-runner version already on npm? LOCAL_CR=$(node -p "require('./packages/claude-runner/package.json').version") npm view "cyrus-claude-runner@${LOCAL_CR}" version 2>/dev/null # (b) Does claude-runner have uncommitted/unpushed source changes since its last publish? ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE edc39ae3dd5a7306 The third-party file has ended.
