varg-publish-skill@1.0.1

CAUTION

Publisher claims: "Turn your agent skill into a varg how to listing: reads a skill folder or repo, checks it against the varg media skill standard, fills the one card format every listing on varg how to (varg.ai/how-to) uses — name, one-line summary, use-when triggers, category, install command, a real example of the output — shows it to the person and publishes it for review through the varg MCP publish_skill tool (or the API with a varg key). Use when someone says "publish my skill", "list this skill on varg", "submit my skill to varg how to", "add my skill to the catalog", "how do I get my skill found by agents", or the same in any language. Not for finding a skill (use how-to-make-ai-video), not for writing the skill itself, and not for contributing to the vargHQ/skills repo (that is a pull request)."

  1. Unclaimed publisher≈ +8 on the totalClaim vargai: a verified publisher gets +50 on publisher trust. It is free and usually instant with GitHub sign-in.
  2. Hidden instructions≈ +6 on the totalRemove HTML comments, zero-width characters and white-on-white text that carry instructions. Everything the agent is meant to read should be visible to the person reading the file.
