What problem does it solve? Publishing a PowerShell module to the PowerShell Gallery involves many error-prone steps: manifest validation, PSScriptAnalyzer checks, API key management, semantic versioning, and post-publish verification. This Skill provides a complete, structured workflow so nothing is missed before a module goes public. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pre-Publication Validation: Runs Test-ModuleManifest, checks required Gallery metadata fields (Author, Description, ProjectUri, LicenseUri, Tags), and enforces PSScriptAnalyzer with the PSGallery rule set. - API Key & Version Management: Guides secure API key storage (secure strings, environment variables, CI/CD secrets) and semantic version increments with release notes via Update-ModuleManifest. - Publish & Verify Workflow: Executes Publish-Module with WhatIf dry-run support, monitors gallery indexing, and verifies installation from a clean environment. - Use Case: You finished a module and want to share it publicly. The Skill walks you through fixing manifest errors, resolving analyzer warnings, bumping the version, publishing, and confirming the package appears on the Gallery. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to validate and publish your module folder to the PowerShell Gallery with a minor version bump and release notes.
