# Publish Guard

> Public release-audit skill that reviews a repo, README, SKILL.md, and launch copy before GitHub or ClawHub publish.

## Summary
Publish Guard is a small public OpenClaw skill for pre-release audits. It scans a repo for obvious leak patterns, checks whether README and SKILL copy are actually public-facing, scores launch copy near the top of the repo, and renders one concise audit that answers publish now or fix first.

## Key Features
- Scans for obvious leak patterns such as token-shaped strings, localhost URLs, websocket endpoints, and absolute paths
- Checks README, SKILL.md, and public metadata for audience mismatch, buried quick starts, and operator-heavy wording
- Scores the landing-page copy so the repo intro can be reviewed like a product surface instead of a private note
- Renders one markdown audit that is easy to use before GitHub release or ClawHub publish
