pypi-doppler

pypi-doppler is a skill for Claude Code from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,036 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local-only workflow for publishing Python packages to PyPI, the public package repository for Python, using credentials supplied by Doppler. It includes checks for repository ownership, CI use, and release approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build and publish a Python package from a local machine, manage its PyPI credentials through Doppler, and verify the repository before release.
Why use it?
It keeps package publishing off CI/CD systems and avoids storing PyPI tokens as plain text or in automated build secrets.

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

pypi-doppler scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/publish-to-pypi.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

PyPI Publishing with Doppler (Local-Only)

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Publishing Python packages to PyPI from local machine
  • Setting up Doppler for PyPI token management
  • Creating local publish scripts with CI detection guards
  • Validating repository ownership before release

WORKSPACE-WIDE POLICY: LOCAL-ONLY PUBLISHING

This skill supports LOCAL machine publishing ONLY.

FORBIDDEN

  • Publishing from GitHub Actions
  • Publishing from any CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI)
  • publishCmd in semantic-release configuration
  • Building packages in CI (uv build in prepareCmd)
  • Storing PyPI tokens in GitHub secrets

REQUIRED

  • Use scripts/publish-to-pypi.sh on local machine
  • CI detection guards in publish script
  • Manual approval before each release
  • Doppler credential management (no plaintext tokens)
  • Repository verification (prevents fork abuse)

Rationale

  • Security: No long-lived PyPI tokens in GitHub secrets
  • Speed: 30 seconds locally vs 3-5 minutes in CI
  • Control: Manual approval step before production release
  • Flexibility: Centralized credential management via Doppler

See: ADR-0027, docs/development/PUBLISHING.md


Overview

This skill provides local-only PyPI publishing using Doppler for secure credential management. It integrates with the workspace-wide release workflow where:

  1. GitHub Actions: Automated versioning ONLY (tags, releases, CHANGELOG)
  2. Local Machine: Manual PyPI publishing with Doppler credentials

Bundled Scripts

pypi-doppler is a skill published in the GitHub repository terrylica/cc-skills (72 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 2,036 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-05.
