​
Publishing Your First Package

​
1. Initialize a Package

Use the interactive init command to scaffold a new package: 
prpm init
This will prompt you for:
  • Package name (format: @username/typescript-rules)
  • Description
  • Format (cursor, claude, windsurf, etc.)
  • Subtype (rule, agent, skill, etc.)
  • Author information
  • License
  • Tags
It creates:
  • prpm.json - Package manifest
  • README.md - Documentation template
  • Example files based on your selected format

​
2. Add Your Content

Edit the generated files with your rules, prompts, or skills: 
# For Cursor rules
vim .cursorrules

# For Claude skills
vim .claude/skills/my-skill/SKILL.md

# Update the README
vim README.md

​
3. Login to PRPM

Authenticate with the registry: 
prpm login

​
4. Publish

Test your package first (optional but recommended): 
prpm publish --dry-run
Then publish for real: 
prpm publish

​
5. Update Your Package

When you make changes, increment the version in prpm.json: 
{
  "version": "1.1.0"  // Was 1.0.0
}
Then publish again: 
prpm publish
