What it does

This skill should be used when the user asks to "open source this project", "prepare this repository for public release", "make this repo public", "check open-source readiness", "choose a license for this project", or "set up release automation" ahead of a public launch. Provides a release-readiness workflow covering secrets hygiene, licensing, documentation, CI, and language-specific packaging.
