## Release status

The package is prepared locally and has not been published.
The [ClawHub format](https://github.com/openclaw/clawhub/blob/main/docs/skill-format.md#license) requires MIT-0 for published skills.
The skill package `skills/fax-for-agents` is licensed MIT-0 since 2026-11-04, so it may be published unchanged.
The repository as a whole stays MIT.

Runtime requirements are declared under `metadata.openclaw`.
`FAXFORAGENTS_API_KEY` is required for REST and stdio, while hosted OAuth uses client authentication.
Tool scopes and network permissions appear in the skill body.
Portable trigger phrases remain under `metadata.triggers`.

## B01 commands

These are preparation and future publication commands, not a record of execution.
Run them from this repository.

```bash
skills-ref validate skills/fax-for-agents
npm pack --dry-run
npm i -g clawhub
clawhub login
clawhub whoami
clawhub skill publish ./skills/fax-for-agents --slug fax-for-agents --name "Fax for Agents" --categories communication --topics fax,api --dry-run
clawhub skill publish ./skills/fax-for-agents --slug fax-for-agents --name "Fax for Agents" --categories communication --topics fax,api
```

Add `--owner faxforagents` only after Ben confirms authority over that ClawHub owner.
Wait until security checks finish and the release becomes installable.
See the [publishing quickstart](https://docs.openclaw.ai/clawhub/quickstart).

## npm distribution

Install the official Python validator on `PATH` before using skillpm.
The [skillpm guide](https://skillpm.dev/creating-skills/) documents this isolated installation:

```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install 'git+https://github.com/agentskills/agentskills.git#subdirectory=skills-ref'
skills-ref validate skills/fax-for-agents
```

Keep `.venv/` out of version control.
Sign in as the authorized npm publisher before running B01's publication command.

```bash
npm login
skillpm publish --access public
pi install npm:@faxforagents/fax-for-agents
```

The npm package retains MIT.
Check Pi and skillpm discovery after publication.

## Ben's checklist

- [ ] Resolve ClawHub's MIT-0 requirement before publishing any ClawHub artifact.
- [ ] Sign in with `clawhub login` and confirm identity with `clawhub whoami`.
- [ ] Choose the publisher owner and confirm organization authority.
- [ ] Sign in to npm and confirm scope ownership and authentication requirements.
- [ ] Supply a sandbox key and complete the documented smoke test.
- [ ] Review the dry run before authorizing publication.
- [ ] Wait for ClawHub security checks and verify installation.
- [ ] Confirm Pi and skillpm discovery after npm publication.

## Later directory submission

The [awesome OpenClaw list](https://github.com/VoltAgent/awesome-openclaw-skills/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) requires publication and real community usage.
Do not submit a new skill immediately after publication.
Require passing ClawHub tests and clean security status first.
