# Publishing and distributing Skills

> Use eval evidence, review, approval, publish, and distribution preview before installing generated Skills.

Publishing turns a generated draft into a distributable Skill package. It is gated by evidence.

## Readiness checks

A draft must have passing eval evidence tied to the current draft hash, completed authoring lanes, no unresolved blockers, and review/approval records before publishing.

## Commands

```bash theme={null}
comet creator status <name> --project . --json
comet creator next <name> --project . --json
comet publish review <name> --project .
comet publish approve <name> --project .
comet publish run <name> --project .
comet publish distribute <name> --preview --project .
comet publish distribute <name> --project .
```

## Preview first

Distribution preview shows the files and platform targets before anything is installed. Treat it as the final release review.
