# Publish Plugin to GitHub

Use this workflow when the active project contains a copied plugin folder and the user wants it published as a new public GitHub repository.

## Workflow

1. Read the active plugin inputs. `plugin_context_path` is the copied plugin folder relative to the project working directory.
2. Inspect `open-design.json`, `SKILL.md`, and any compatibility metadata in the copied folder.
3. Call the local daemon endpoint instead of hand-rolling GitHub commands:
   `curl -sS -X POST "$OD_DAEMON_URL/api/projects/$OD_PROJECT_ID/plugins/publish-github" -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"path":"<plugin_context_path>"}'`
4. Read the JSON response. If `ok` is true, report the final repository URL and any useful log/validation summary.
5. If the endpoint fails, report its `message`, `code`, and useful log lines. When authentication is missing, tell the user to run `gh auth login --hostname github.com`.

Prefer the manifest `name` as the repository slug. If that repository already exists, choose the next clear slug and mention the rename.
