SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of manually starting the claude-desktop-bin release pipeline, letting you launch a packaged build and deployment flow from a single command.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow Dispatch: Starts the build-and-release GitHub Actions pipeline for the current repository.
  • Force Rebuild Option: Re-runs the pipeline with force_rebuild enabled when the upstream version has not changed and a new package release is still needed.
  • Run Visibility: Resolves the latest workflow run and reports its URL and status so you can monitor progress quickly.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill when a new upstream Claude Desktop release arrives, or when you need to publish a patch-only update without changing the tracked version.

Quick Start

Ask the deploy skill to trigger the build-and-release workflow, and include force only when you need a forced rebuild.
