platform-build-release

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams package, build, and release a local-first HIPAA-grade desktop app with native ML components (whisper.cpp, OCR, local LLM), with reproducible builds, model integrity verification, and an update strategy. It is intended for use when implementing CI, packaging, and deployment for environments with strict data privacy and offline capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Build strategy: Produce reproducible builds for Windows/macOS/Linux. Vendor native dependencies with pinned versions.
• Model management: Define a local model registry: model name, version, hash, size, license metadata; verify hashes before loading; support offline import of models.
• CI and tests: Run unit tests for validators and schema mapping; Run integration tests on sample docs/audio; Provide smoke test that processes one sample end-to-end.
• Release artifacts: Signed installers if possible; Clear separation of app binaries vs PHI data directories.
• Deliverables: build_matrix.md; model_registry_spec.md; release_checklist.md.

Quick Start

Use the platform-build-release skill to set up a CI/CD pipeline and packaging flow that produces reproducible installers for targeted platforms; ensure model registry and verified hashes are configured.
