## Instructions

Use this skill to submit Agent Skills for publication to skillscatalog.ai or organization catalogs.

### Prerequisites

1. **Skill Key** - Get your key at https://skillscatalog.ai/settings/skill-keys
2. **Valid Skill** - Your skill must pass validation (run skill-validator first)
3. **Safety Scan** - Skills are automatically scanned before submission

### How to Use

Submit a skill for publication:

```
Submit the skill at /path/to/my-skill for publication
```

Specify a target catalog:

```
python3 publish_skill.py /path/to/my-skill --catalog public
python3 publish_skill.py /path/to/my-skill --catalog org --org-id abc123
```

### Workflow

1. **Validate** - Checks SKILL.md frontmatter and structure
2. **Scan** - Runs safety scan for secrets and dangerous code
3. **Submit** - Sends skill to the API for review
4. **Review** - Wait for catalog maintainer approval
