What files does this skill create in my repository?

It creates two files: .github/workflows/release.yml for production releases and .github/workflows/publish-testpypi.yml for testing on the TestPyPI server.

Does this skill handle PyPI credentials or tokens?

The skill sets up workflows to use Trusted Publishing (OIDC), which is the modern security standard. It avoids the need for manual API tokens by authorizing your GitHub repository directly through PyPI.

Can I use this for projects that don't use pyproject.toml?

The skill primarily looks for pyproject.toml to extract package metadata, but it also verifies the presence of setup.py to ensure the directory is a valid Python package.

Do I need to configure anything in GitHub settings manually?

Yes. After running the skill, you must create environments named 'pypi' and 'testpypi' in your GitHub repository settings and link them to your PyPI account as a trusted publisher.
