Publish Skill

Share brain pages as beautiful, self-contained HTML documents. Optionally password-protected with client-side AES-256-GCM encryption. No server needed.

This is a code + skill pair: the deterministic code (gbrain publish) does the stripping, encrypting, and HTML generation. This skill tells you when and how to use it. See Thin Harness, Fat Skills for the architecture philosophy.

Contract

• Published HTML is fully self-contained: no external dependencies, no server needed.
• All private metadata (frontmatter, source citations, confirmation numbers, brain cross-links, timeline) is stripped before publishing.
• Password protection uses AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2 key derivation; plaintext never appears in the encrypted HTML file.
• Default is always encrypted unless the user explicitly requests "open", "no password", or "public".
• External URLs (https://...) are preserved; only internal brain paths are stripped.
