# Homebrew Tap Update Report - mcp-skillset v0.2.0
**Date**: 2025-11-24T14:51:00Z
**Task**: Update Homebrew tap formula for mcp-skillset v0.2.0
**Status**: ⚠️ INFRASTRUCTURE NOT FOUND (NON-BLOCKING)
**PyPI Status**: ✅ PUBLISHED AND VERIFIED
**Phase**: 5.5 (NON-BLOCKING per PM instructions)
---
## Executive Summary
The Homebrew tap update task cannot be completed because **no Homebrew tap infrastructure exists** for mcp-skillset. This is a **NON-BLOCKING** issue per PM instructions (Phase 5.5). The PyPI release (v0.2.0) is successful and the package is fully functional via pip installation.

## Investigation Results
### 1. Homebrew Tap Infrastructure Findings
**Status**: ❌ NOT FOUND
**Searched Locations**:
- ✅ `/Users/masa/Projects/mcp-skillset/scripts/` - No `update_homebrew_tap.sh` found
- ✅ `/Users/masa/Projects/mcp-skillset/Makefile` - No `update-homebrew-tap` target found
- ✅ `/Users/masa/Projects/mcp-skillset/.makefiles/release.mk` - No Homebrew automation
- ✅ GitHub (`bobmatnyc/homebrew-mcp-skillset`) - Repository does not exist
- ✅ Local Projects directory - No local homebrew-mcp-skillset clone
**Files Present**:
- `/Users/masa/Projects/mcp-skillset/scripts/generate_completions.sh` (unrelated)
**Reference Infrastructure Found**:
- ✅ `/Users/masa/Projects/claude-mpm/scripts/update_homebrew_tap.sh` - Working automation script (565 lines)
- ✅ `/Users/masa/Projects/homebrew-claude-mpm/` - Example tap repository
- ✅ `/Users/masa/Projects/homebrew-mcp-vector-search/` - Example tap repository
- ✅ `/Users/masa/Projects/homebrew-mcp-ticketer/` - Example tap repository
### 2. PyPI Package Verification
**Status**: ✅ VERIFIED
```bash
PyPI URL: https://pypi.org/project/mcp-skillset/0.2.0/
Version: 0.2.0
Package Available: yes
SHA256: 6275140f322e7aa5af7fc92c7320a0962051b991f031c58e08e9440572943951
Package Type: sdist (source distribution)
```
**Installation Test** (Current Method):
```bash
pip install mcp-skillset==0.2.0
# ✅ Installation successful via PyPI
```
### 3. Homebrew Tap Pattern Analysis
Based on existing taps, the standard infrastructure should include:
**Repository**: `bobmatnyc/homebrew-mcp-skillset`
```
homebrew-mcp-skillset/
├── Formula/
│ └── mcp-skillset.rb
├── README.md
└── scripts/ (optional)
└── generate_resources.py
```
**Automation Script**: `scripts/update_homebrew_tap.sh` in main repo
- Waits for PyPI package availability (with retry logic)
- Fetches SHA256 checksum from PyPI
- Updates Formula/mcp-skillset.rb
- Runs formula tests (brew audit)
- Commits with conventional commit message
- Pushes to tap repository
**Makefile Target**: In main project Makefile
```makefile
.PHONY: update-homebrew-tap
update-homebrew-tap: ## Update Homebrew tap formula
@./scripts/update_homebrew_tap.sh $(VERSION)
```
---
## PM Instructions Compliance
Per PM instructions (Phase 5.5):
> **5.5. Update Homebrew Tap Formula (NON-BLOCKING)**
> - Homebrew tap update should be automated
> - Failures should NOT block the release
> - Manual fallback instructions should be provided
**Compliance Status**:
- ✅ **NON-BLOCKING**: This report documents the situation without blocking release
- ⚠️ **AUTOMATION**: Not implemented (infrastructure doesn't exist yet)
- ✅ **MANUAL FALLBACK**: Detailed instructions provided in HOMEBREW_TAP_STATUS.md
- ✅ **EVIDENCE**: Complete investigation results documented
---
## Recommendations
### Immediate Action
**None Required** - The PyPI release is complete and functional. Users can install via:
```bash
pip install mcp-skillset==0.2.0
```
### Future Enhancement (Optional)
Create Homebrew tap infrastructure for improved macOS user experience:
1. **Create Repository**: `gh repo create bobmatnyc/homebrew-mcp-skillset`
2. **Create Formula**: Initial `Formula/mcp-skillset.rb` for v0.2.0
3. **Copy Automation**: Adapt `claude-mpm/scripts/update_homebrew_tap.sh`
4. **Add Makefile Target**: Add `update-homebrew-tap` to main project
5. **Test Installation**: Verify `brew install bobmatnyc/mcp-skillset/mcp-skillset`
**Estimated Effort**: 30-45 minutes
**Benefits**: Homebrew convenience for macOS users
**Priority**: LOW (PyPI installation works well)

## Manual Homebrew Tap Creation (If Needed)
Detailed step-by-step instructions are available in:
- `/Users/masa/Projects/mcp-skillset/HOMEBREW_TAP_STATUS.md`
**Quick Start**:
```bash
# 1. Create repository
gh repo create bobmatnyc/homebrew-mcp-skillset --public
# 2. Create formula with SHA256
curl -s https://pypi.org/pypi/mcp-skillset/0.2.0/json | \
python3 -c "import sys, json; data = json.load(sys.stdin); \
[print('SHA256:', u['digests']['sha256']) for u in data['urls'] if u['packagetype'] == 'sdist']"
# SHA256: 6275140f322e7aa5af7fc92c7320a0962051b991f031c58e08e9440572943951
# 3. Copy automation script
cp /Users/masa/Projects/claude-mpm/scripts/update_homebrew_tap.sh \
/Users/masa/Projects/mcp-skillset/scripts/
# 4. Update configuration in script
# - TAP_REPO="https://github.com/bobmatnyc/homebrew-mcp-skillset.git"
# - PYPI_PACKAGE="mcp-skillset"
# - FORMULA_FILE="Formula/mcp-skillset.rb"
```

# Output: 0.2.0
# Get SHA256
curl -s https://pypi.org/pypi/mcp-skillset/0.2.0/json | \
python3 -c "import sys, json; data = json.load(sys.stdin); \
[print(u['digests']['sha256']) for u in data['urls'] if u['packagetype'] == 'sdist']"
