Publishing to PRPM

Learn how to publish your AI tool configurations to the PRPM registry.

Prerequisites

PRPM CLI installed: npm install -g prpm
GitHub account: Required for authentication
Valid prpm.json: Package manifest in your repository

Authentication

prpm login

Check authentication status:

prpm whoami

Publishing Your First Package

1. Create prpm.json

Let AI help you create prpm.json! Install the prpm-json package for expert guidance:

# For Claude Code
prpm install @prpm/prpm-json-best-practices-skill

# For Cursor
prpm install @prpm/prpm-json-best-practices

The AI will then help you structure your manifest with proper fields, tags, and examples.

Create a manifest file in your project root:

{
  "name": "my-@username/typescript-rules",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "My TypeScript coding standards and best practices",
  "author": "Your Name <you@example.com>",
  "license": "MIT",
  "repository": "https://github.com/username/repo",
  "format": "cursor",
  "subtype": "rule",
  "tags": ["typescript", "best-practices"],
  "files": [".cursor/rules/typescript.mdc"]
}

2. Validate

Test your manifest before publishing:

prpm publish --dry-run

This checks:

✓ prpm.json syntax is valid
✓ All required fields are present
✓ All files exist
✓ Tags are properly formatted
✓ Version follows semver

3. Publish

Publish your package:

prpm publish

That’s it! Your package is now available on the PRPM registry.

Publishing Multiple Packages

For repositories containing multiple packages, use the packages array:

{
  "name": "my-prompts-repo",
  "author": "Your Name",
  "license": "MIT",
  "packages": [
    {
      "name": "typescript-cursor-rules",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "description": "TypeScript rules for Cursor",
      "format": "cursor",
      "subtype": "rule",
      "tags": ["typescript"],
      "files": [".cursor/rules/typescript.mdc"]
    },
    {
      "name": "python-claude-skill",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "description": "Python best practices for Claude",
      "format": "claude",
      "subtype": "skill",
      "tags": ["python"],
      "files": [".claude/skills/python-expert/SKILL.md"]
    }
  ]
}

Publish all packages:

prpm publish

Or publish only a specific package:

prpm publish --package typescript-cursor-rules
