Brewdoc:Publish

brewdoc:publish

Publish content to brewpage.app — free instant hosting for HTML pages, JSON documents, files, and multi-file sites. No sign-up required.

Workflow

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Extract from $ARGUMENTS:

• --ttl N → TTL in days (default: 15)
• --entry <filename> → entry file for SITE uploads (default: auto-detect)
• Remaining text → content_arg

Step 2: Detect Content Type

Stats per type — SITE (dir): HTML count, total size, entry file. SITE (ZIP): file size, entry override. FILE: size + MIME via file --mime-type -b. TEXT/JSON: char count.

Step 3: Show Pre-Publish Stats

For HTML/JSON/FILE:

Content:  <type description> · <size> · <api endpoint>
TTL:      <N> days

For SITE: detect entry file using priority: 1) --entry flag, 2) index.html exists, 3) first .html alphabetically. If no .html in dir → fail with explicit error, do not guess.

Content:  site · <N> files · <total_size> · POST /api/sites
Entry:    <entry_file>
TTL:      <N> days

Step 4: Ask Namespace

Use AskUserQuestion:

Namespace sets the URL prefix, gallery visibility, and search-engine indexing on brewpage.app.
By default publishing is PRIVATE (unlisted): not in the public gallery and not indexed by search engines. The link is not secret, though — anyone who has it can open it (use a password to restrict access).
Choose `public` to make the page discoverable — listed in the gallery and indexed by search engines (e.g. a real site you want people to find).

Options:
1) public — listed in gallery + indexed by search engines
2) {auto-suggested 6-8 char slug} — private, link-only (default)
3) Enter custom namespace
4) Skip → use suggested slug (private)

Reply with a number or your custom namespace (alphanumeric, 3-32 chars).

Auto-suggest: generate a meaningful short slug (3-16 chars, lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens) from content context:

• File → topic/purpose (e.g. api-docs, login-page, report-q2)
• Text/HTML → main subject or title (e.g. pricing, team-intro, changelog)
• JSON → data type or schema name (e.g. user-config, metrics)
• Fallback → project name or directory name

Never use random strings or truncated filenames — slug must be human-readable.

Resolution: 2, 4, or empty → suggested slug | 1 → public | 3 or any other string → use as-is.

Step 5: Ask Password

Use AskUserQuestion:

Password protection (if set, page is hidden from gallery):

Options:
1) No password (default)
2) Random: {generated 6-char password, e.g. "kx7p2m"}
3) Enter custom password (min 4 chars)
4) Skip → no password

Reply with a number or your custom password.

Generate random password EXECUTE using Bash tool:

LC_ALL=C tr -dc 'a-z0-9' < /dev/urandom | head -c6 2>/dev/null

Resolution: 1, 4, or empty → no password | 2 → use generated random password | 3 or custom text → use as-is.

Step 6: Publish and Save Token (secure)

SECURITY: The ownerToken MUST NEVER appear in conversation output. Bash blocks handle curl + token parsing + history save atomically; LLM sees only the URL. Each block sets PASS_H first (empty when no password) and uses "${PASS_H[@]}" quoted.

History file init (used in all blocks below):

HISTORY_FILE=".claude/brewpage-history.md"
if [ ! -f "$HISTORY_FILE" ]; then
  mkdir -p "$(dirname "$HISTORY_FILE")"
  cat > "$HISTORY_FILE" <<'HEADER'

> Owner tokens allow delete and in-place republish (html/json/kv/sites all support PUT). Keep this file private.

Step 7: Output Result

Success (bash printed OK {url}):

Published: {url from bash output}
Owner token saved to .claude/brewpage-history.md

Success for SITE (bash printed OK {url} | Files: {count}):

Published site: {url from bash output}
Entry: {entry_file} | Files: {count}
Owner token saved to .claude/brewpage-history.md

⚠ Share the URL exactly as printed — DO NOT append a trailing slash.
  brewpage.app routes "/public/<id>/" to its own landing page, and the
  redirect that saves the no-slash form does not fire for the slash-dir form.

For a private (non-public) namespace, append one short line after the link (skip if reply must stay ultra-brief): Unlisted link — anyone who has it can open it, but it's not in the gallery or search. Want it discoverable? Publish to `public`.

Error (bash printed FAILED: ...):

Publish failed.

Notes

• Use jq -n --arg c "$CONTENT" '{content: $c}' to safely encode text content. `format` is a query param, not a body field — /api/html ignores any format key inside the JSON body and reads only ?format= from the URL. Wrong location = server applies default html and stores markdown as raw text.
• TTL default: 15 days. Namespace must be alphanumeric (3-32 chars).
• To delete a published page, find the owner token in .claude/brewpage-history.md and use the delete command shown in that file's header.
• To update a published site, PUT the new bundle to the same site URL (PUT /api/sites/{ns}/{id}) with your X-Owner-Token — the uploaded bundle fully replaces the file set (adds new files, removes absent ones, overwrites matching) and the link never changes. No DELETE-then-POST needed.
• Entry file detection: --entry override > index.html > first .html alphabetically.
• SITE URL — NO trailing slash. API returns .link = "https://brewpage.app/public/<id>" without trailing /. Appending / routes to brewpage.app's own landing page; the JS redirect that rescues the no-slash form does NOT fire for the slash-dir form → site becomes inaccessible.
• SITE verification cannot be done via `curl`. The no-slash URL serves the BrewPage landing HTML with an inline JS redirect that only executes in a real browser. To verify: use Playwright / browser_navigate, or fetch <url>/index.html explicitly.

Publish (Brewpage)

Publish text, markdown, JSON, files, or multi-file sites to brewpage.app and get a shareable public URL instantly. No sign-up required. Content is auto-deleted after the TTL expires (default 15 days).

Quick Start

/brewdoc:publish "Your content here"

The skill will ask for a namespace (URL slug) and optional password, then return a public URL.

What You Can Publish

All content types support --ttl N to set expiration in days. Site uploads also support --entry <filename> to specify the entry point.

Examples

Good Usage

# Publish markdown text (default 15-day TTL)
/brewdoc:publish "# Meeting Notes\n\n- Action item 1\n- Action item 2"

# Publish a local file
/brewdoc:publish /path/to/diagram.png

# Publish JSON data
/brewdoc:publish '{"users": [{"name": "Alice"}, {"name": "Bob"}]}'

# Publish with a 1-day TTL
/brewdoc:publish changelog.md --ttl 1

# Publish with a 30-day TTL for longer retention
/brewdoc:publish architecture.html --ttl 30

# Publish a directory as a multi-file site
/brewdoc:publish docs/mockups/v1/

# Publish a directory with custom entry point
/brewdoc:publish docs/mockups/v1/ --entry hub.html

# Publish a ZIP archive as a site
/brewdoc:publish site-bundle.zip --entry index.html

Common Mistakes

# Avoid publishing sensitive data -- pages are publicly accessible
/brewdoc:publish .env                    # credentials exposed!

# Avoid very large binary files -- brewpage is for lightweight content
/brewdoc:publish database-dump.sql.gz    # not the right tool

# Do not assume the URL is permanent -- content expires after TTL
/brewdoc:publish important-doc.md        # gone after 15 days by default

Output

On success, the skill returns:

Published!
URL:         https://brewpage.app/{namespace}/{id}
Owner token: {ownerToken}

• URL -- shareable link to the published content.
• Owner token -- saved automatically to .claude/brewpage-history.md (or ~/.claude/brewpage-history.md if the project has no .claude/ directory). Use it to delete the page later.

Deleting a Published Page

curl -X DELETE "https://brewpage.app/api/{ns}/{id}" -H "X-Owner-Token: {ownerToken}"

Find your owner tokens in .claude/brewpage-history.md.

Tips

• TTL planning -- default is 15 days. Use --ttl 30 for content you need longer, or --ttl 1 for quick one-off shares.
• Namespace controls the URL -- choosing public places the page in the gallery. Pick a custom namespace (3-32 alphanumeric chars) for a cleaner URL or to avoid gallery listing.
• Password protection -- when you set a password, the page is hidden from the gallery and requires the password to view.
• Each publish creates a new page -- there is no "update" operation. Publish again and share the new URL. Delete the old page using the saved owner token if needed.
