# publish-skill
> Use when turning a personal agent skill into an open-source, distributable one. Runs a PII audit, generalizes personal details, checks licence compatibility, reviews cross-platform adapters and walks through packaging.
**Invoke:** `/publish-skill`
## When to use
`publish-skill` activates on requests such as: publish skill, distribute skill, open-source skill, package skill, universalize skill.
## Quality Card
**Purpose** — Harden a personal skill for open-source release through a PII audit, generalization, and license/portability checks.
**Safety boundaries**
- Publication is gated on a passing PII audit; the blocklist is conservative and not weakened to pass.
- Personal paths, names, and document metadata are scrubbed before release.
**Known limitations**
- The audit catches known PII patterns; novel identifiers still need human review.
- Generalization preserves behavior but a maintainer should re-read the result.
**Validation**
- `bash scripts/audit_skill.sh <skill-dir>`
- `bash scripts/validate_skills.sh`
**Evidence** — `bundled_script`
