Write Homebrew Formula
Write or update Homebrew formulae using current Homebrew guidance and cboone/homebrew-tap conventions.
Type: Skill
Trigger: /write-homebrew-formula
Installation
See the marketplace install instructions.
Requirements
- Homebrew for formula audit, style, install, and test validation.
What It Does
Guides formula authoring for stable release formulae, HEAD-only pre-release formulae, Go source builds, GoReleaser-generated outputs, and shell tools with services or setup caveats. Uses cboone/homebrew-tap as the only cboone-specific pattern source, while treating official Homebrew documentation as the source for generic formula behavior.
Usage
/write-homebrew-formula
The skill gathers project metadata, selects the right formula pattern, writes or updates the Ruby formula, and validates the result with available Homebrew tooling.
Examples
- "write a Homebrew formula for this Go CLI"
- "update this HEAD-only formula to a stable release"
- "review this formula against cboone/homebrew-tap conventions"
- "add caveats and a service block to this shell-tool formula"
