SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the secure preparation of private projects for public release by forking, sanitizing secrets, and packaging release artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fork projects to create a staged public copy while excluding sensitive data.
  • Sanitize for credentials, secrets, and potentially sensitive content, generating a SANITIZATION_REPORT.md.
  • Package artifacts including CLAUDE.md, setup.sh, README, LICENSE, and CONTRIBUTING.md for ready publishing.
  • Use Case: Prepare a private repository for public distribution with auditable reports and a ready-to-publish package.

Quick Start

Provide the project path and license, then run the three-stage pipeline to fork, sanitize, and package the project for open source.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prepare a private repository for open-source release?▼

Sanitizing a private project before open-sourcing involves stripping credentials, secrets, and sensitive content from a staged fork, then generating a SANITIZATION_REPORT.md to verify no sensitive data remains.

What files are needed to package an open-source project for public distribution?▼

Packaging an open-source project requires generating CLAUDE.md, setup.sh, README.md, LICENSE, and CONTRIBUTING.md files to ensure the public release is ready for publishing and community contribution.

Can I strip secrets and credentials from a codebase automatically during release?▼

Yes, you can strip secrets and credentials automatically by running a sanitization stage on a staged fork of your project, which scans for sensitive content and produces an auditable report.

What is the best way to fork a private project to exclude sensitive data?▼

The best way to fork a private project securely is to use an automated pipeline that creates a staged public copy, applies secret stripping, and generates a FORK_REPORT.md to audit the exclusion of sensitive data.

Does an open-source release pipeline generate reports for auditing security?▼

Yes, an open-source release pipeline generates auditable reports like FORK_REPORT.md and SANITIZATION_REPORT.md to document the secure fork and secret stripping steps applied during the public distribution process.
