- Bump the skill's version in `marketplace.json` when you change it.
- A new skill needs a cover for whimsical.com/skills: follow
[docs/covers/README.md](docs/covers/README.md), then render and look at it.
- A release isn't done when the tag is pushed. whimsical.com/skills only shows a release
once the website is redeployed, which doesn't happen on its own. After pushing a tag,
tell the person you're working with that the website needs redeploying, and keep
reminding them until they say it's done; otherwise the site falls behind the skills.
Tag from an up-to-date `main` (`git pull` first), so the release has what was merged.
- Don't run a skill against real Whimsical boards, Mobbin or customer data unless the
person you're working with asks you to.

A release publishes a zip of every skill, for the Claude apps and for agents without a
skills installer. Links to `releases/latest/download/<name>.zip` always point to the
newest one. After merging to `main`, tag the date and push the tag:
newest one. After merging to `main`, update your local `main`, then tag the date and push
the tag:

```sh
git checkout main && git pull
git tag v2026.11.06 && git push origin v2026.11.06
```

Add a suffix for a second release on the same day, like `v2026.11.06.2`. Users of the
Claude Code marketplace get updates from `main` without a release.

[whimsical.com/skills](https://whimsical.com/skills) shows the skills as they are in the
latest release, from the website's next deploy. Redeploy the website after a release to
publish it there.
Then redeploy the website. [whimsical.com/skills](https://whimsical.com/skills) shows the
skills as they are in the latest release, but only from the website's next deploy, and a
release doesn't trigger one. Until it's redeployed, the site still shows the previous
release.
