Homebrew Tap Manager
Manages Homebrew taps for automated distribution of CLI tools and macOS applications.
This skill empowers Claude to create and maintain custom Homebrew repositories (taps) for distributing software to macOS and Linux users. It provides standardized templates and logic for generating Ruby-based Formulas for command-line utilities and Casks for desktop applications. It automates the complex aspects of software distribution, including platform-specific URL mapping for ARM and Intel architectures, SHA256 checksum generation, dependency management, and release update workflows, making it an essential tool for developers managing their own software packages.
