# Publishing DevClaw to npm
## Package Details
- **Name:** `@laurentenhoor/devclaw`
- **npm Profile:** https://www.npmjs.com/settings/laurentenhoor/packages
- **Package URL:** https://www.npmjs.com/package/@laurentenhoor/devclaw
## Prerequisites
1. **NPM Access Token** is configured as `NPM_ACCESS_TOKEN` secret in GitHub repository settings
2. **npm account:** laurentenhoor
3. **Node.js 20+** installed locally for testing
## Publishing Methods
### Method 1: Automated (Recommended)
Publishing happens automatically via GitHub Actions when a release is created:
1. **Create a new release** on GitHub:
```bash
# Tag format: v{version} (e.g., v0.1.0)
git tag v0.1.0
git push origin v0.1.0
```
2. **Create GitHub Release:**
- Go to: https://github.com/laurentenhoor/devclaw/releases/new
- Choose the tag you just pushed
- Write release notes
- Click "Publish release"
3. **Monitor the workflow:**
- GitHub Actions will automatically build and publish to npm
- Check: https://github.com/laurentenhoor/devclaw/actions
### Method 2: Manual Workflow Trigger
Trigger the workflow manually from GitHub Actions:
1. Go to: https://github.com/laurentenhoor/devclaw/actions/workflows/npm-publish.yml
2. Click "Run workflow"
3. Enter the tag name (e.g., `v0.1.0`)
4. Click "Run workflow"
### Method 3: Local Publishing (Not Recommended)
For testing or emergencies only:
1. **Login to npm:**
```bash
npm login
# Username: laurentenhoor
# Password: <your-password>
# Email: <your-email>
```
2. **Test the package:**
```bash
npm install
npm run build
npm pack --dry-run
```
3. **Publish:**
```bash
npm publish --provenance --access public
```
## Testing Before Publishing
### Dry Run Test
```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the package
npm run build
# Check what will be included
npm pack --dry-run
# This will show:
# - Package size
# - Files that will be included
# - Tarball contents
```
### Verify Package Contents
```bash
# Create a tarball locally
npm pack
# Extract and inspect
tar -xzf openclaw-devclaw-0.1.0.tgz
ls -la package/
```
### Expected Package Contents
The published package should include:
- `dist/` - Compiled JavaScript files
- `roles/` - Default role templates
- `docs/` - Documentation files
- `package.json` - Package metadata
- `README.md` - Package documentation
- `.npmignore` - Publish exclusions
The package should **NOT** include:
- `*.ts` source files (except `.d.ts`)
- `node_modules/`
- `.git/`
- `tsconfig.json`
- Development files
## Version Management
### Bumping Version
Before creating a release, update the version in `package.json`:
```bash
# Patch release (0.1.0 -> 0.1.1)
npm version patch
# Minor release (0.1.0 -> 0.2.0)
npm version minor
# Major release (0.1.0 -> 1.0.0)
npm version major
```
This automatically:
- Updates `package.json`
- Creates a git commit
- Creates a git tag
Then push:
```bash
git push && git push --tags
```
## Verifying Publication
After publishing, verify:
1. **Package appears on npm:**
- https://www.npmjs.com/package/@laurentenhoor/devclaw
2. **Test installation:**
```bash
# In a temporary directory
mkdir test-install && cd test-install
npm install @laurentenhoor/devclaw
```
3. **Check package contents:**
```bash
ls -la node_modules/@laurentenhoor/devclaw/
```
## Troubleshooting
### Build Fails
```bash
# Clean and rebuild
rm -rf dist/ node_modules/
npm install
npm run build
```
### Publish Fails - Already Published
If the version already exists on npm, you need to bump the version:
```bash
npm version patch # or minor/major
git push && git push --tags
```
### Publish Fails - Authentication
Check that `NPM_ACCESS_TOKEN` secret is correctly set in GitHub:
- Go to: https://github.com/laurentenhoor/devclaw/settings/secrets/actions
- Verify `NPM_ACCESS_TOKEN` exists and is valid
Generate a new token if needed:
- https://www.npmjs.com/settings/laurentenhoor/tokens
- Token type: "Automation" (for CI/CD)
- Copy token and update GitHub secret
### Provenance Fails
If `--provenance` fails:
- Ensure `id-token: write` permission is set in workflow
- Check that GitHub Actions is enabled
- Verify repository settings allow provenance
## Post-Publishing Checklist
- [ ] Verify package appears on npm
- [ ] Test installation in a fresh project
- [ ] Update CHANGELOG.md with release notes
- [ ] Announce release in project channels
- [ ] Close related issues/PRs
- [ ] Update documentation if needed
