Printing Press Publish

Takes a CLI you've generated locally with printing-press and opens a pull request to the public library repo. It handles the full workflow: resolves which CLI you want to publish (by exact name, fuzzy match, or interactive picker), clones or updates your fork, commits the manifest and source files, and pushes a branch. One thing worth knowing is it actively prevents you from accidentally including the auto-generated mirror files that the library regenerates on merge, which saves you from pre-rejected PRs. The scope isolation is thoughtful too, it cleans up old repo clones when their source worktrees disappear so you don't accumulate garbage across temporary checkouts.

PR shape guard

This skill opens only a generated CLI publish PR or, with --blocked-api-journal, a blocked-apis.json journal PR. It never opens a docs-only, plan, proposal, or spec PR as a substitute for a CLI that is not ready to publish. If generation, validation, or live testing is blocked, report the exact blocker and stop.
