A Codex skill for preparing a repository before making it public. It treats open-sourcing as a security, documentation, licensing, and product-readiness task rather than a last-minute README polish pass.
- Read-only pre-release audits.
- Sensitive-content and repository-hygiene checks.
- License, README, CONTRIBUTING, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, issue template, PR template, and
.gitignorerecommendations. - Clean-publication strategy when history may contain secrets or private assets.
- Practical release-readiness reporting.
git clone https://github.com/Leochens/skill-pre-open-source.git ~/.codex/skills/pre-open-sourceThen ask Codex:
Use $pre-open-source to prepare this repository for open sourcing.
This skill starts read-only for audits and requires explicit confirmation before destructive or public actions such as deleting files, rewriting history, pushing, publishing, or exposing suspected secrets.
The checklist in references/checklist.md covers project basics, README quality, licensing, sensitive content, .gitignore, contribution docs, issue/PR templates, tests, demos, quality, release readiness, and final publication.
