SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Dev-testing a change that spans the Cyrus edgeworker/CLI and the hosted GUI requires the GUI to install an unreleased cyrus-core build, but publishing a real release would move the latest dist-tag and affect production installs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test Dist-Tag Publishing: Publishes cyrus-core as a -test.N prerelease under the npm test dist-tag so latest stays untouched.
  • Conditional claude-runner Republish: Detects whether the workspace claude-runner dependency is unpublished or dirty and republishes it only when required.
  • Version Calculation: Computes the next -test.N prerelease version by querying existing npm versions and incrementing N.
  • Use Case: A developer iterating on cyrus-core runs this skill to publish cyrus-core@test, then points the CYHOST Vercel deployment at that prerelease without cutting a real release, changelog entry, git tag, or pull request.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to run a dev test release of cyrus-core by invoking the release-core-test skill.

Frequently Asked Questions about release-core-test

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I publish an npm prerelease without affecting the latest tag?▼

Publish with an explicit dist-tag such as pnpm publish --tag test. This makes the version installable via npm install package@test while leaving the latest dist-tag unchanged, so production installs are unaffected.

How do I test an unreleased cyrus-core version in the hosted Cyrus GUI?▼

Run the release-core-test skill to publish cyrus-core as a -test.N prerelease under the npm test dist-tag, then configure CYHOST to install cyrus-core@test. No real release, git tag, or changelog update is created.

When does claude-runner need to be republished alongside cyrus-core?▼

Republish claude-runner when its local version is not on npm or when its source has uncommitted changes since the last publish. Otherwise cyrus-core's rewritten workspace dependency would fail to resolve for consumers installing cyrus-core@test.

Does this skill create a git tag or GitHub release?▼

No. The skill intentionally skips changelog updates, git tags, GitHub releases, pull requests, and commits. The version bump in package.json is left as an uncommitted local working-tree change.

Why use --no-git-checks when publishing from a feature branch?▼

The --no-git-checks flag allows pnpm publish to run from a feature branch with a dirty working tree. Without it, pnpm would refuse to publish unless the tree is clean and on the expected release branch.
