# MyVibe Publish
Publish web content (HTML file, ZIP archive, or directory) to MyVibe.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later
- All script executions in this skill require network access. Always run Bash commands with `sandbox_permissions=require_escalated` to ensure network permissions are enabled.
- The deployment and screenshot generation may take a few minutes. Use a 10-minute (600000ms) timeout for publish commands.
## Usage
```bash
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --file ./dist.zip # Publish ZIP
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --file ./index.html # Publish HTML
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --dir ./dist # Publish directory
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --url https://example.com/app # Import from URL
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --dir ./dist --new # Force new Vibe
/myvibe:myvibe-publish --dir ./dist --did z2qaXXX # Update specific Vibe
```
## Options
| Option | Alias | Description |
|--------|-------|-------------|
| `--file <path>` | `-f` | Path to HTML file or ZIP archive |
| `--dir <path>` | `-d` | Directory to compress and publish |
| `--url <url>` | `-u` | URL to import and publish |
| `--hub <url>` | `-h` | MyVibe URL (default: https://www.myvibe.so/) |
| `--title <title>` | `-t` | Project title |
| `--desc <desc>` | | Project description |
| `--visibility <vis>` | `-v` | Visibility: public or private (default: public) |
| `--did <did>` | | Vibe DID for version update (overrides auto-detection) |
| `--new` | | Force create new Vibe, ignore publish history |
## Workflow Overview
1. **Detect Project Type** → if no build needed, start screenshot in background
2. **Build** (if needed) → then start screenshot in background
3. **Metadata Analysis** → extract title, description, tags
4. **Confirm Publish** → show metadata, get user confirmation
5. **Execute Publish** → script auto-reads screenshot result
6. **Return Result** → show publish URL
**First tool call - execute in parallel:**
- `Read`: source file or main files in directory
- `Bash`: `git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null || echo "Not a git repo"`
- `Bash`: `node {skill_path}/scripts/utils/fetch-tags.mjs --hub {hub}`
---
## Step 1: Detect Project Type
| Check | Project Type | Next Step |
|-------|-------------|-----------|
| `--file` with HTML/ZIP | **Single File** | → Start screenshot, then Step 3 |
| Has `dist/`, `build/`, or `out/` with index.html | **Pre-built** | → Step 2 (confirm rebuild) |
| Has `package.json` with build script, no output | **Buildable** | → Step 2 (build first) |
| Multiple `package.json` or workspace config | **Monorepo** | → Step 2 (select app) |
| Has `index.html` at root, no `package.json` | **Static** | → Start screenshot, then Step 3 |
**Start screenshot for non-build projects** (run_in_background: true):
For directory source (`--dir`):
```bash
node {skill_path}/scripts/utils/generate-screenshot.mjs --dir {publish_target} --hub {hub}
```
For single file source (`--file`):
```bash
node {skill_path}/scripts/utils/generate-screenshot.mjs --file {publish_target} --hub {hub}
```
IMPORTANT: Use `--file` when the source is a single HTML file, and `--dir` when it is a directory. The flag must match the `source.type` in the publish config so that both scripts calculate the same hash for the screenshot result file.
**After starting the screenshot background task**, use `TaskOutput` (with `block: false`) to check the task output before proceeding. If the output contains "agent-browser is not installed" or "Chromium is not installed":
1. Install agent-browser: `npm install -g agent-browser && agent-browser install`
2. Re-run the screenshot command (same command as above, run_in_background: true)
3. Check again with `TaskOutput` (block: false) to confirm it's running
This ensures the screenshot can complete successfully in the background while you continue with metadata analysis.
---
## Step 2: Build (if needed)
Detect package manager from lock files, build command from package.json scripts.
Use `AskUserQuestion` to confirm:
- **Pre-built**: "Rebuild or use existing output?"
- **Buildable**: "Build before publishing?"
- **Monorepo**: "Which app to publish?"
After build completes, start screenshot in background (same check as Step 1: use `TaskOutput` block: false to verify agent-browser is available, install if needed, then retry), then proceed to Step 3.
---
## Step 3: Metadata Analysis
### Extract title
Priority: `<title>` → `og:title` → package.json name → first `<h1>`
### Generate description (50-150 words, story-style)
Cover: **Why** (motivation) → **What** (functionality) → **Journey** (optional)
Sources: conversation history, README.md, source code, package.json, git log
Guidelines:
- Natural, conversational tone
- Focus on value and story, not technical specs
- Avoid generic "A web app built with React"
### Extract githubRepo
From git remote or package.json repository field. Convert SSH to HTTPS format.
### Match tags
Fetch tags: `node {skill_path}/scripts/utils/fetch-tags.mjs --hub {hub}`
| Tag Type | Match Method |
|----------|--------------|
| **techStackTags** | Match package.json dependencies against tag slug |
| **platformTags** | From conversation context (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) |
| **modelTags** | From conversation context (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4, etc.) |
| **categoryTags** | Infer from project (game libs → game, charts → viz) |
---
## Step 4: Confirm Publish
Display metadata and use `AskUserQuestion`:
```
Publishing to MyVibe:
──────────────────────
Title: [value]
Description:
[50-150 word story]
GitHub: [URL or "Not detected"]
Cover Image: [Will be included if ready]
Tags: Tech Stack: [...] | Platform: [...] | Category: [...] | Model: [...]
```
Options: "Publish" / "Edit details"
---
## Step 5: Execute Publish
**Check dependencies**: If `scripts/node_modules` missing, run `npm install` first.
The publish script automatically reads the screenshot result file. Execute publish directly:
Pass config via stdin:
```bash
node {skill_path}/scripts/publish.mjs --config-stdin <<'EOF'
{
"source": { "type": "dir", "path": "./dist", "did": "z2qaXXXX" },
"hub": "https://www.myvibe.so",
"metadata": {
"title": "My App",
"description": "Story description here",
"visibility": "public",
"githubRepo": "https://github.com/user/repo",
"platformTags": [1, 2],
"techStackTags": [3, 4],
"categoryTags": [5],
"modelTags": [6]
}
}
EOF
```
- `did` optional - for explicit version updates
- `coverImage` auto-read from `/tmp/myvibe-screenshot-{hash}.json`
- Screenshot result file cleaned up after publish
---
## Step 6: Return Result
After publish script completes, **check the script output** for these messages:
### Success Message
Always include the Vibe URL in your response:
```
Published successfully!
🔗 [URL]
```
### Upgrade Prompt (Important)
The script prints an upgrade prompt when updating an existing Vibe without version history enabled:
```
📦 Previous version overwritten. Want to keep version history?
Upgrade to Creator → {hub}/pricing
```
**You MUST include this upgrade information in your response to the user if the script output contains it.** This helps free-tier users discover the version history feature.

## Error Handling
| Error | Action |
|-------|--------|
| Dependencies missing | Run `npm install` in scripts directory |
| 401/403 Auth error | Token auto-cleared, re-run to authorize |
| Build failed | Analyze error, offer fix, or publish source as-is |
| Screenshot failed | Skip coverImage, proceed without it |
| agent-browser missing | Run `npm install -g agent-browser && agent-browser install` |
| Script execution failed (network/sandbox) | Check if network permissions are enabled. Add `sandbox_permissions=require_escalated` and retry |
| Private mode is only available for Creator and Studio users | See "Private Mode Error Handling" below |
### Private Mode Error Handling
When publishing with `visibility: private` fails with "Private mode is only available for Creator and Studio users", use `AskUserQuestion` to let the user choose:
**Question:** "Private publishing requires a Creator or Studio subscription. How would you like to proceed?"
| Option | Label | Description |
|--------|-------|-------------|
| 1 | Publish as Public | Your Vibe will be visible to everyone. You can change this later after upgrading. |
| 2 | View Upgrade Options | Open the pricing page to explore subscription plans with private publishing. |
**Actions based on selection:**
- **Option 1**: Re-run publish with `visibility: "public"`, inform user the Vibe is now public
- **Option 2**: Display the pricing URL `{hub}/pricing` and stop the publish flow
## Notes
- Always analyze content for meaningful title/description - never use directory names
- Confirm with user before publishing
- Default hub: https://www.myvibe.so/
- Tags fetched fresh from API on each publish
- Publish history in `~/.myvibe/published.yaml` for auto version updates
- Use `--new` to force new Vibe instead of updating
