iblai-api-studio-publish

Every edit in Studio is a draft. Users see a block only once it — or an ancestor — has been published. Publishing is a value of the publish key on the generic block update, applied at any level of the tree. This skill is the last step of a build and the first thing to check when "it's not showing".

Before you start

1. Preflight: node .claude/skills/iblai-api-studio-auth/scripts/studio-login.mjs --check prints two oks; otherwise run /iblai-api-studio-auth first — do not attempt the calls below.
2. First publish of a course — check, in this order: settings done (/iblai-api-studio-settings: real start_date, enrollment_start before it, pacing decided — pacing locks once the course starts), grading policy set, the outline complete and reviewed with the user (GET /xblock/outline/{ROOT}), every unit has content. A published empty or half-built course is what users find in the catalog.
3. The locator of what to publish (a unit, subsection, section, or ROOT).
