How to Publish a Template

Publishing is CLI-first on Claws.supply.

Prerequisites

• You have a Claws.supply account.
• You can run the CLI from your local project directory.
• You have a template package ready to build.

1) Authenticate in the CLI

npx claws-supply@latest auth

2) Build your signed template package

npx claws-supply@latest build

3) Publish from CLI

npx claws-supply@latest publish

The publish command creates a draft template and prints the direct edit URL.

What publish creates

• A draft listing is created under your account.
• The draft is visible to you (and admins), not publicly listed yet.
• The generated page is where you finalize metadata, cover image, and release notes.

Finalize and make it public

From your template page:

1. Review title, category, description, and price.
2. Add a cover image and version notes.
3. Click Publish to make the listing public.

Common issues to check

• Slug already taken.
• Invalid zip type or oversized file.
• Archive signature/manifest mismatch.
• Missing auth or expired upload token.
