deploy-to-marketplace

To publish Claude skills to the marketplace, you deploy skills from the ~/.claude/skills directory to the saurun-marketplace repository. The deployment process validates the skill structure, checks for conflicts, and performs a version bump.

Validating a Claude skill before publishing requires ensuring the SKILL.md file exists at the skill root with required frontmatter. The deployment process automatically checks for a valid name and description in the frontmatter to prevent publishing errors.

Marketplace synchronization checks for an existing skill in the saurun-marketplace, compares local and marketplace versions, and surfaces conflicts using diffs. This prevents version mismatches before you copy files and trigger a version bump.

Yes, you need specific frontmatter in the SKILL.md file to deploy a skill. The frontmatter must include a valid name and description, which the deployment process validates before copying files to the saurun-marketplace plugin repository.

During a version bump, the deployment process copies your skill files to the marketplace and triggers a /publish-plugin bump command. This action updates the plugin and marketplace metadata to reflect the newly published skill version.
