Open-Source Pipeline Skill

Safely open-source any project through a 3-stage pipeline: Fork (strip secrets) → Sanitize (verify clean) → Package (CLAUDE.md + setup.sh + README).

When to Activate

• User says "open source this project" or "make this public"
• User wants to prepare a private repo for public release
• User needs to strip secrets before pushing to GitHub
• User invokes /opensource fork, /opensource verify, or /opensource package

Commands

Command	Action
/opensource fork PROJECT	Full pipeline: fork + sanitize + package
/opensource verify PROJECT	Run sanitizer on existing repo
/opensource package PROJECT	Generate CLAUDE.md + setup.sh + README
/opensource list	Show all staged projects
/opensource status PROJECT	Show reports for a staged project

Protocol

/opensource fork PROJECT

Full pipeline — the main workflow.

Step 1: Gather Parameters

Resolve the project path. If PROJECT contains /, treat as a path (absolute or relative). Otherwise check: current working directory, $HOME/PROJECT, then ask the user.

SOURCE_PATH="<resolved absolute path>"
STAGING_PATH="$HOME/opensource-staging/${PROJECT_NAME}"

Ask the user:

1. "Which project?" (if not found)
2. "License? (MIT / Apache-2.0 / GPL-3.0 / BSD-3-Clause)"
3. "GitHub org or username?" (default: detect via gh api user -q .login)
4. "GitHub repo name?" (default: project name)
5. "Description for README?" (analyze project for suggestion)

Step 2: Create Staging Directory

mkdir -p $HOME/opensource-staging/

Step 3: Run Forker Agent

Spawn the opensource-forker agent:

Agent(
  description="Fork {PROJECT} for open-source",
  subagent_type="opensource-forker",
  prompt="""
Fork project for open-source release.

Source: {SOURCE_PATH}
Target: {STAGING_PATH}
License: {chosen_license}

Follow the full forking protocol:
1. Copy files (exclude .git, node_modules, __pycache__, .venv)
2. Strip all secrets and credentials
3. Replace internal references with placeholders
4. Generate .env.example
5. Clean git history
6. Generate FORK_REPORT.md in {STAGING_PATH}/FORK_REPORT.md
