# brewdoc:publish
Publish content to **brewpage.app** — free instant hosting for HTML pages, JSON documents, files, and multi-file sites. No sign-up required.
## Prompt contract
Position 1 of `$ARGUMENTS` is a **free-form prompt** (RU/EN) — the content (text, file/dir/zip path), `--ttl`
and `--entry` are optional and may follow in any order. Nobody types keys: resolve WHAT to publish FROM the
prompt.
1. Strip `--ttl N`, `--entry <filename>` and `--delivery-mode path|subdomain` flags.
2. Extract the content to publish (rule 3 below) — this doubles as the content-type detection in Step 2, scored
by the keyword table there.
3. **Prose resolution (mandatory):** a sentence naming a file/dir resolves to that file/dir (e.g. "publish my
report.md" -> `content_arg = report.md`, resolved against cwd); a sentence with no path and no inline
text/JSON has nothing to publish -> ONE `AskUserQuestion` asking what to publish. Never guess, never
silently fall back to an empty HTML page.
4. Outcome-changing ambiguity (namespace, password) -> the two dedicated `AskUserQuestion` calls in Steps 4-5;
nothing else asks.
Print this block ONCE before the first tool action, including filesystem probes and questions.
Use `unresolved` for type/namespace/password until determined; report resolved stats in Step 3.
```
PLAN — brewdoc:publish
INPUT: <arguments verbatim, or "(empty)">
MODE: <detected type — SITE|MARKDOWN|FILE|JSON|HTML> — <matched extension/shape | prose-resolved path>
SCOPE: namespace=<ns>; ttl=<days>; password=<set|none>; delivery-mode=<server-default|path|subdomain>
DO: <2-5 imperative bullets>
RESULT: <published URL>
```
Labels are literal; values follow the conversation language.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Parse Arguments
Extract from `$ARGUMENTS`:
- `--ttl N` → TTL in days (default: `15`)
- `--entry <filename>` → entry file for SITE uploads (default: auto-detect)
- `--delivery-mode path|subdomain` → optional creation header; omit it for server defaults. Reject other values before upload.
- Remaining text → `content_arg` — extract per the prose-resolution rule above; not resolvable -> `AskUserQuestion`
### Step 2: Detect Content Type
| Input | Type | API | EN keywords | RU keywords | Mutates? |
|-------|------|-----|--------------|--------------|----------|
| `content_arg` is a directory (`test -d`) | SITE | `POST /api/sites` (ZIP created from dir) | publish site, publish folder/directory | опубликуй сайт, опубликуй папку | yes |
| `content_arg` ends with `.zip` AND file exists (`test -f`) | SITE | `POST /api/sites` (archive upload) | publish zip, publish archive | опубликуй архив, опубликуй zip | yes |
| `content_arg` is a `.md`/`.markdown` file AND exists (`test -f`) | MARKDOWN | `POST /api/html` (format=markdown, content read from the file — renders styled, NOT a raw download) | publish markdown, share this .md | опубликуй markdown, поделись .md | yes |
| `content_arg` is a file path AND file exists (`test -f`) | FILE | `POST /api/files` (multipart) | publish file, share this file | опубликуй файл, поделись файлом | yes |
| `content_arg` starts with `{` or `[` | JSON | `POST /api/json` | publish json, share this json | опубликуй json | yes |
| Anything else | HTML | `POST /api/html` (format=markdown) | publish text, share link, publish this | опубликуй текст, поделись ссылкой | yes |
Stats per type — SITE (dir): HTML count, total size, entry file. SITE (ZIP): file size, entry override. FILE: size + MIME via `file --mime-type -b`. TEXT/JSON: char count.
### Step 3: Show Pre-Publish Stats
For HTML/JSON/FILE:
```
Content: <type description> · <size> · <api endpoint>
TTL: <N> days
```
For SITE: entry priority is 1) `--entry` flag, 2) `index.html`, 3) first `.html` alphabetically. No `.html` → fail with an explicit error, do not guess.
```
Content: site · <N> files · <total_size> · POST /api/sites
Entry: <entry_file>
TTL: <N> days
```
These are estimates from the source tree. The authoritative file set is the ARCHIVE MANIFEST that Step 6
prints from the built archive, before any upload — report that one to the user, not this count.
### Step 4: Ask Namespace
Use **AskUserQuestion**:
```
Namespace controls discovery and appears in publication addresses on brewpage.app.
By default publishing is PRIVATE (unlisted): not in the public gallery and not indexed by search engines. The link is not secret, though — anyone who has it can open it (use a password to restrict access).
Choose `public` for eligible gallery discovery. Eligible Promotion publications may be indexed; Dedicated subdomain hosts use noindex.
Options:
1) public — eligible gallery discovery; eligible Promotion publications may be indexed
2) {auto-suggested 6-8 char slug} — private, link-only (default)
3) Enter custom namespace
4) Skip → use suggested slug (private)
Reply with a number or your custom namespace (1-32 lowercase letters, digits or hyphens).
```
Auto-suggest: generate a **meaningful short slug** (3-16 chars, lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens) from content context:
- File → topic/purpose (e.g. `api-docs`, `login-page`, `report-q2`)
- Text/HTML → main subject or title (e.g. `pricing`, `team-intro`, `changelog`)
- JSON → data type or schema name (e.g. `user-config`, `metrics`)
- Fallback → project name or directory name
Never use random strings or truncated filenames — slug must be human-readable.
Resolution: `2`, `4`, or empty → suggested slug | `1` → `public` | `3` or any other string → use as-is.
### Step 5: Ask Password
Use **AskUserQuestion**:
```
Password protection (if set, page is hidden from gallery):
Options:
1) No password (default)
2) Use an existing local password file (min 4 characters)
3) Skip → no password
Reply with a number and, for option 2, the absolute local file path. Do not paste password contents.
```
Resolution: `1`, `3`, or empty → `none`; `2` plus an existing local password-file path → `file`.
Never Read the password file or generate/print its contents through model-visible tools.
> Password contents travel only through the private run's input/header files, never shell literals or
> curl argv. Choose explicit `password_mode=none|file`; `none` ignores every password file, including stale
> shared files. For `file`, Write only its absolute source path into
> `<run_dir>/brewpage-password-source.txt`; the helper copies its bytes into private transport files.
> Never print contents in commands, logs or reports. It rejects control characters/header injection.
### Step 6: Publish and Save Token (secure)
NEW sites and non-public namespaces require Dedicated subdomain (`subdomain`); explicit `path` is rejected.
NEW public non-sites default to Promotion (`path`) and may select `subdomain`, including password-protected uploads.
Send the choice only as `X-Delivery-Mode`, never as authored JSON, text or multipart fields.
Deduplication may return an OLD or NEW winner with a different mode: preserve its identity, cohort, mode and exact `link`.
Missing/null OLD routing metadata means Existing link; never infer mode from its address.
> **SECURITY:** The ownerToken MUST NEVER appear in conversation output. Bash blocks handle curl + token parsing + history save atomically; LLM sees only the URL. The failure branch prints no response body, so a token in an error payload never reaches the transcript.
**Nothing prompt-derived is pasted into shell source.** Content, JSON, the password and the target path all
travel as FILES; only validated `{ns}`, `{days}`, `{entry}` and `{delivery_mode}` are substituted, inside SINGLE quotes, after you
have validated them yourself:
| Placeholder | Must match before you substitute it | Re-checked in the block by |
|-------------|-------------------------------------|----------------------------|
| `{ns}` | `^[a-z0-9-]{1,32}$` | `bp_validate` |
| `{days}` | positive integer | `bp_validate` |
| `{entry}` | plain relative file name, no `..`; empty string when auto-detecting | `bp_validate` |
| `{delivery_mode}` | empty string when omitted, otherwise `path` or `subdomain` | `bp_begin` |
A value that fails its pattern is a hard stop — re-ask, never "clean it up" and never substitute it anyway.
**Allocate one private run directory before writing any inputs**, after resolving the namespace/password
choice. EXECUTE:
```bash
. "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/brewpage-lib.sh" || exit 1
bp_prepare
```
Use the printed absolute path as `run_dir`; its generated `brewpage.XXXXXX` basename is `run_id`.
Never reuse a previous run, read shared `brewpage-*` inputs, or substitute a user-supplied run id.
Then `Write` inputs inside this directory (mode 700):
| File | Written for | Contents |
|------|-------------|----------|
| `brewpage-content.md` | HTML / MARKDOWN text | the text to publish, verbatim |
| `brewpage-payload.json` | JSON | the JSON document, verbatim |
| `brewpage-target-path.txt` | FILE / SITE(dir) / SITE(zip) | the absolute source path, one line |
| `brewpage-password-source.txt` | any type, only for `file` password mode | absolute source password-file path, one line; never its contents |
For a MARKDOWN **file** (type MARKDOWN from Step 2), `Read` it and `Write` its text into
`brewpage-content.md`, then run the HTML/Markdown block — the `?format=markdown` endpoint renders it styled
instead of serving a raw download.
Every block uses strict mode, sources `scripts/brewpage-lib.sh`, then calls `bp_begin` with the generated
run id, explicit `none|file` policy and optional `{delivery_mode}` — it re-validates
`{ns}`/`{days}`/`{entry}`, requires `jq`, resolves the PROJECT ROOT (`CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` →
`git rev-parse --show-toplevel` → upward `.git`/`.claude` walk → `PWD`), creates `$HISTORY_FILE` there with
mode `600`, and appends it plus `.claude/tmp/` to the project `.gitignore`. A nested cwd can no longer scatter
a second token file below the project. The library also owns the parts every block used to repeat: `bp_post`
(adds `X-Password` from a private header file only in `file` mode and optional `X-Delivery-Mode`), `bp_finish` (exact URL, owner API and identity metadata → private history, the single
`OK`/`FAILED` line, `.fileCount` for `site`) and `bp_archive_gate` (the shared verdict on a `publish.mjs` run).
**HTML/Markdown text** — **EXECUTE** using Bash tool:

### Step 7: Output Result
**Success** (bash printed `OK {url}`):
```
Published: {url from bash output}
Owner token saved to <project-root>/.claude/brewpage-history.md (mode 600, git-ignored)
```
**Success for SITE** (bash printed `OK {url} | Files: {count}`):
```
Published site: {url from bash output}
Entry: {entry_file} | Files: {count}
Owner token saved to <project-root>/.claude/brewpage-history.md (mode 600, git-ignored)
Share the server URL exactly as printed, including any trailing slash.
```
For a private (non-`public`) namespace, append one short line after the link (skip if reply must stay ultra-brief): *Unlisted link — anyone who has it can open it, but it's not in the gallery or search. Want it discoverable? Publish to `public`.*
**Needs confirmation** (bash printed `CONFIRM: ...`, exit 2): nothing was uploaded. Show the manifest lines
the block printed, name the flagged entries, and use ONE `AskUserQuestion` — publish anyway / cancel. On
"publish anyway", allocate a fresh run, rewrite its inputs and re-run with `BREWPAGE_CONFIRMED=1`.
All five blocks clean their owned run on success/failure/confirmation exits. If cancelled before the
block starts, source the helper, call `bp_run_dir '{run_id}' && bp_cleanup`, then stop. Preserve all
other runs and user source files; never delete the shared tmp directory.
**Error** (bash printed `FAILED: ...`):
```
Publish failed: {the FAILED line, verbatim}
```
## Notes
- Use `jq -n --rawfile c <input-file> '{content: $c}'` to encode text into the run's payload file. **`format` is a query param**, not a body field — `/api/html` ignores any `format` key inside the JSON body and reads only `?format=` from the URL. Wrong location = server applies default `html` and stores markdown as raw text.
- TTL default: `15` days. Namespace must match `^[a-z0-9-]{1,32}$`.
- Owner-token history lives at `<project-root>/.claude/brewpage-history.md` — project root resolved by `scripts/brewpage-lib.sh` (`CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` → git toplevel → upward `.git`/`.claude` walk → `PWD`), created mode `600`, and added to the project `.gitignore`. To **delete** a published page, find its owner token there and use the delete command in that file's header.
- Use the returned `ownerLink` and stored identity metadata for owner API operations, never parse a NEW root hostname for namespace/ID. OLD history without metadata retains its existing API identifiers.
- To **update a published site**, `PUT` the new bundle to its apex owner API with `X-Owner-Token`; the bundle fully replaces the file set and retains the host. Do not send `X-Delivery-Mode` on ordinary PUT/update.
- Hosting changes require owner-only `PATCH /api/{type}/{ns}/{id}/hosting` with `{"deliveryMode":"subdomain","expectedVersion":1}` from current identity metadata. Only NEW public non-sites are eligible; OLD, sites and non-public identities have no mode choice. Use the returned URL/version afterward.
- NEW password-protected publication links stay clean: never generate or append `?p=`. API password requests still use `X-Password`; OLD password behavior remains unchanged.
- Entry file detection: `--entry` override > `index.html` > first `.html` alphabetically — resolved inside `scripts/publish.mjs` against the archive that was actually built, and echoed as the manifest's `ENTRY:` line.
- **SITE bundles are allowlisted, never denylisted.** `scripts/publish.mjs pack` keeps only known web-asset extensions and drops every dot-entry (`.env`, `.git/`, `.DS_Store`), `node_modules/`, symlinks and unknown types. It removes any pre-existing output file first (a `mktemp`-created 0-byte file made Info-ZIP exit 3), checks `zip`'s exit status, verifies the archive with `unzip -t`, requires a non-zero size, and compares the archived name set against the selected one. Any mismatch deletes the archive and exits 1, so `curl` is never reached. A supplied ZIP is not rewritten — `inspect` lists it and exits 2 when anything unexpected or sensitive is inside.
- Tests: `bash brewdoc/skills/publish/tests/run.sh` — standalone `node`, no network, no real upload.
- Keep `.link` exact for all responses: NEW subdomain roots retain `/`; OLD links retain their existing form. Never reconstruct a host from IDs.
- Verify NEW native sites at the exact returned URL and asset paths; a browser proves rendering. OLD sites may still use the existing landing-page redirect; verify those in a browser or fetch their explicit entry asset.
