}Making changes
Updating an existing skill
- Edit the files in the individual skill folder (e.g.
skills/upstash-qstash-js/). - Run
npm run buildto regenerateskills/upstash/. - Commit both the source changes and the regenerated output.
Adding a new skill
- Create a new folder under
skills/(e.g.skills/upstash-redis-js/). - Add a
SKILL.mdwith the standard frontmatter (nameanddescription) and any supporting files. - Run
npm run build— the new skill will be picked up automatically. - Commit everything.
Changing the combined skill header
The frontmatter and introductory text for skills/upstash/SKILL.md comes from scripts/header.md. Edit that file, then run npm run build.
Updating the plugin version
When making a release, bump the version field in .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .cursor-plugin/plugin.json, and .codex-plugin/plugin.json.
Scripts
| Script | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
build | npm run build | Regenerates skills/upstash/ from all individual skills. |
check | npm run check | Runs the build, then fails if there is a git diff — used in CI to ensure the generated output is committed. |
CI
The GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/check.yml) runs npm run check on every push and PR. If you forget to run npm run build before pushing, CI will fail.
