Use $ARGUMENTS as the learning text if provided.
Outcome
A learning from the current project is published to the configured groovebook repo as a pull request, stripped of any project-specific context, ready for community review.
Acceptance Criteria
- Learning is published as a PR to
<groovebook>repo - PR uses the groovebook PR template format (Summary, Context, Learning, Groove skill area)
- File is written at
learned/<topic>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.mdin the groovebook repo - PR URL is printed to the user
Steps
- Read
groovebook:from.groove/index.md; if absent, exit with:groovebook is not configured. Add 'groovebook: <owner>/<repo>' to.groove/index.md to enable. - Check
gh auth status; if not authenticated, exit with:Not authenticated with GitHub. Run: gh auth login - Verify the groovebook repo is accessible:
gh repo view <groovebook>; if it fails, exit with a clear message. - Get the learning text:
- If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as a starting point - Otherwise: ask "What's the learning you'd like to publish? (paste it or describe briefly)" - Ask for a one-sentence summary (used as PR title and filename slug)
- Show a preview of the learning text and ask:
Does this contain any repo-specific context to redact? (file paths, internal names, product names)
- If yes: help the user redact it — replace specific names with generic descriptions - If no: proceed
- Ask for topic (e.g.
patterns,tools,anti-patterns,workflow) and skill area (e.g.compound,plan,review,daily) - Generate slug: lowercase the summary, replace spaces with hyphens, strip special characters, truncate to 40 chars. Construct:
- Branch name: learning/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug> - File path: learned/<topic>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md
- Fork the groovebook repo if not already forked:
gh repo fork <groovebook> --clone=false
- If fork already exists, skip silently
- Create the branch and file:
- gh api repos/<user-fork>/git/refs to check if branch exists; if so, append a short unique suffix - Write the file content (see format below) and commit via gh api - Or: use git operations against the fork URL if gh api approach is too complex — prefer the simpler path
- Open the PR:
gh pr create --repo <groovebook> \ --title "<one-sentence summary>" \ --body "<formatted body>" \ --head "<fork-user>:<branch-name>" - Print the PR URL

*Published via groove-groovebook-publish*Constraints
- Never publish learning text that contains project-specific names, file paths, or internal identifiers without explicit user confirmation that it's intentional
- If the fork step fails due to permissions: suggest the user fork manually and set their fork as the
groovebook:value - Slug must be safe for use as a filename: lowercase, hyphens only, no path separators or special characters
- If branch already exists: append
-2,-3, etc. until a free name is found
