## 🚀 Publishing Steps

1. **Review all files** - Make sure everything is polished
2. **Test one more time** - Fresh installation test
3. **Version bump if needed** - Update SKILL.md, metadata.json, CHANGELOG.md
4. **Git commit** - Clean commit message
5. **Submit to ClawdHub** - Follow ClawdHub submission process
6. **Monitor feedback** - Be ready to address issues

## 📝 Current Status

**Ready for publication:** ✅ YES

**Confidence level:** High

**Known limitations:**
- Requires a running SearXNG instance (clearly documented)
- SSL verification disabled for self-signed certs (by design)
- No authentication support yet (acceptable for v1.0.0)

**Recommended for:** Users who:
- Value privacy
- Run their own SearXNG instance
- Want to avoid commercial search APIs
- Need local/offline search capability

## 🎯 Next Steps

1. **Publish to ClawdHub** - Skill is ready!
2. **Gather user feedback** - Real-world usage
3. **Plan v1.1.0** - Authentication support, more features
4. **Community contributions** - Accept PRs for improvements

**Assessment:** This skill is publication-ready! 🎉

All critical requirements are met, documentation is excellent, and the code works reliably.
