Does this skill automatically make my repository public?

No, the skill is programmed to never change repository visibility or post announcements without your explicit, manual confirmation.

What happens if the skill finds an API key or secret?

The workflow stops immediately if secrets are detected by gitleaks, allowing you to clean your git history before proceeding with publication.

Which licenses does the Open Source Publisher support?

It currently supports MIT and Apache-2.0 licenses, automatically fetching templates and filling in your name and the current year.

What external tools are required for this skill?

For full functionality, it uses gitleaks for secrets, typos for spell checking, lychee for link checking, and the GitHub CLI (gh) for repository management.
