What is mate-artifact-publish?

A process for publishing archived OpenSpec changes, which are stored records of completed proposed work. It lets the user select pending items, runs the repository's finish command, synchronizes changes, and creates a dated revert tag.

It helps find unpublished archives, choose which ones to release, run the finish pipeline, push repository changes, and record a tag for reverting them.

Archiving work locally does not publish it, and publishing the wrong item can create unwanted commits or tags. This process separates discovery, selection, confirmation, and publication.

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	$0.00046	$0.01757
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.00879
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00351
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00176

Security

Grade A, and why

mate-artifact-publish scanned grade A with 0 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 today.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Publish archived work deliberately: discover what is pending, let the user select it, confirm the side effects once, then run the deterministic publish pipeline for each selected change.

Workflow

Archiving a change is a local OpenSpec operation and never publishes anything. Publication is this skill: an explicit selection followed by one mate artifact publish call per selected change. That CLI owns archiving, capability sync, the scoped commit, remote synchronization, the dated tag, the push, and conflict handoff — this skill only discovers, selects, confirms, sequences, and reports.

Steps

Discover pending changes.
```
mate artifact pending --json
```
Run it from the companion repository. It returns every dated archive under openspec/changes/archive/ whose own files are still uncommitted in the companion working tree — the archive directory itself, or the active change directory archiving deleted. An archive whose own files are already committed is not pending, whatever tags exist:
```
{
  "type": "openspec",
  "companionPath": "/path/to/companion",
  "count": 1,
  "pending": [
    {
      "name": "acme",
      "anchor": "2026-09-07-acme",
      "path": "openspec/changes/archive/2026-09-07-acme",
      "tag": "openspec/2026-09-07-acme",
      "uncommittedPaths": ["openspec/changes/archive/2026-09-07-acme/"],
      "uncommittedSpecs": ["openspec/specs/widget-api/spec.md"],
      "state": "uncommitted"
    }
  ],
  "unattributedSpecs": ["openspec/specs/other-api/spec.md"]
}
```
uncommittedSpecs are the canonical specs that change's deltas applied to which are themselves uncommitted — the rest of its publication scope. unattributedSpecs are uncommitted canonical specs no pending change accounts for; they belong to work that is not archived yet, and publishing cannot pick them up.

Use these fields verbatim. Do not ls the archive, run git status yourself, parse openspec list, read tags by hand, or recompute names, dates, anchors, or tags.

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.
