Homebrew Formula Updater
Overview
This skill automates updating Homebrew formula files with the latest release information from GitHub repositories. It fetches the newest release tag, downloads release assets to compute SHA256 checksums, and updates the formula file with new URLs and hashes.
When to Use
- Updating a Homebrew formula after a new release is published
- Refreshing SHA256 checksums for release assets
- Bumping version numbers in formula files
- Syncing a homebrew-tap repository with upstream releases
When NOT to Use
- Formulas that build from source (no prebuilt release assets)
- Formulas with non-standard asset naming conventions (not
<repo>-<tag>-<platform>.tar.gz) - Releases hosted outside GitHub (e.g., GitLab, self-hosted)
- Formulas requiring manual patching or complex post-download processing

Use when user wants deep understanding, not surface familiarity.
33superplan
Use when starting significant features, epics, or complex tasks. Creates multi-phase implementation plans with parallelizable phases, poker estimates, TDD-first acceptance criteria, and quality gates. Detects tech stack from CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md (bypassing internet research if complete) or via codebase scan.
16superbuild
Use when executing implementation plans phase-by-phase with strict enforcement of quality gates, tests, and Definition of Done. Triggers on "build this plan", "execute plan", "implement phases", or when user provides a plan document to execute.
13bash-script-generator
Generate Bash 3.2-compatible scripts with a standardized check_requirements guardrail, friendly validation errors, and optional shfmt formatting. Use when writing or updating bash scripts that need consistent argument validation, dependency checks, and portability.
13release-readiness-checklist
Interactive release readiness checklist with semantic versioning guidance. Use when preparing a software release, cutting a version, deploying to production, or when user asks about release preparation.
