SKILL.md Source
Use this skill when the user wants to publish a new Mos release (stable or beta) and needs: - Sparkle `appcast.xml` generated from the notarized `.zip` in `build/` - Two hosted release notes pages (Chinese + English) - Sparkle to show Chinese for all `zh*` locales (Simplified/Traditional/HK/TW), and English for everything else **Inputs** - `--since <commit>`: the previous release commit (exclusive). Used to generate release notes from changes since that commit. - A notarized+zipped app in `build/` named: - `Mos.Versions.<version>-<YYYYMMDD>.<num>.zip` (stable) - `Mos.Versions.<version>-beta-<YYYYMMDD>.<num>.zip` (beta) - Sparkle Ed25519 private key at `sparkle_private_key.txt` (gitignored). - Optional env: - `RELEASE_NOTES_BASE_URL` (default `https://mos.caldis.me/release-notes`) - `RELEASE_NOTES_ZH_FILE` / `RELEASE_NOTES_EN_FILE` to point to pre-written HTML files (otherwise the script writes to `build/release-notes/<tag>.*.html`) **What to do** 1. Run the skill script: - `bash .codex/skills/generate-sparkle-appcast/scripts/generate_appcast.sh --since <commit>` 2. Confirm outputs: - `build/appcast.xml` (generated) - `docs/appcast.xml` (copied for `mos.caldis.me/appcast.xml`) - `build/release-notes/<tag>.zh.html` + `build/release-notes/<tag>.en.html` (generated) - `docs/release-notes/<tag>.zh.html` + `docs/release-notes/<tag>.en.html` (copied for hosting) 3. Ensure the GitHub Release tag and asset name match the URL inside the generated appcast. **Notes** - The script emits two `<sparkle:releaseNotesLink>` entries: `xml:lang="zh"` points to the Chinese page, and the default link points to the English page. - You can pre-create/edit `build/release-notes/<tag>.zh.html` and `build/release-notes/<tag>.en.html` before running the script; the script will reuse them if present, otherwise it generates a default template from git history. - If the zip changes in any way (repacked/re-signed), you must re-run the script to regenerate `sparkle:edSignature`.
