What is publish-pypi?

A release command for publishing a Python package to PyPI, the main public service for sharing Python packages. It takes a version number and runs the release checks, version update, Git steps, and publication.

Use it to test or publish a new Python package version, or to run the release checks without publishing. It can publish to Test PyPI, a separate testing service, before the real release.

It gathers the repetitive release work into one documented process and checks for common problems such as an invalid version, uncommitted changes, or an existing release.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.05446
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.02723

Security

Grade D, and why

publish-pypi scanned grade D with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- Set proper file permissions: `chmod 600 ~/.pypirc`

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

PyPI Release Command - kicad-sch-api

Usage

/publish-pypi <version> [--test-only] [--check-only]

⚠️ CRITICAL: Version number is MANDATORY - command will fail if not provided!

Description

Complete PyPI release pipeline - from testing to tagging to publishing. This command handles version management, git operations, comprehensive testing, and PyPI publication.

Parameters

version - REQUIRED Version number (e.g., "0.4.1", "1.0.0", "0.5.0-beta.1")
--test-only: Publish to Test PyPI only (for validation)
--check-only: Run all checks without publishing

What This Command Does

This command automates the complete release process:

1. Pre-Release Validation

Check branch status - Ensure we're on main branch
Validate version format - Semantic versioning check
Check for uncommitted changes - Ensure clean working directory
Sync with remote - Fetch latest changes from origin
Version conflict check - Ensure version doesn't already exist on PyPI or git tags

2. Version Management

Update pyproject.toml - Set new version number
Commit version changes - Clean commit for version bump
Show version comparison - Display current vs new version

3. Testing and Validation

Run full test suite - All tests must pass
Code quality checks - Black, isort, mypy, flake8
Format preservation tests - Critical for KiCAD compatibility
Build package - Create wheel and sdist
Test installation - Verify package installs correctly
Import validation - Ensure package imports work

4. Git Operations

Create release tag - Tag commit with version number
Push release tag - Push tag to origin
Create GitHub release - Generate release notes and publish

5. PyPI Publication

Build distributions - Create wheel and sdist
Upload to PyPI - Publish to registry
Verify upload - Check package is available

6. Post-Release Verification

Test installation from PyPI - Verify package works
Display release summary - Show URLs and next steps

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
