+# Baseline-to-candidate regression gate
+
+SkillConform can compare a candidate skill tree against a known baseline without executing target scripts.
+
+```bash
+npx skillconform regress ./candidate/skills --baseline ./baseline/skills
+npx skillconform regress ./candidate/skills --baseline ./baseline/skills --fail-on warning
+npx skillconform regress ./candidate/skills --baseline ./baseline/skills --format json -o regression.json
+```
+
+The output contract is `skillconform.regression/v1`.
+
+## What the deterministic gate detects
+
+The first version reports:
+
+- newly introduced conformance or security findings;
+- new network capability;
+- new shell usage;
+- newly bundled executable/source scripts;
+- expansion of `allowed-tools`;
+- newly observed network hosts;
+- added or removed skills;
+- the count of findings resolved by the candidate.
+
+A capability expansion is evidence for review, not proof of malicious behavior. Default `--fail-on error` blocks only new error-level regressions. Teams that want a stricter policy can use `--fail-on warning`.
+
+## Pull-request workflow
+
+A safe workflow can check out the base and head revisions side-by-side and run SkillConform without executing code from either tree:
+
+```yaml
+name: Skill regression
+
+on:
+ pull_request:
+
+permissions:
+ contents: read
+
+jobs:
+ skill-regression:
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+ steps:
+ - name: Checkout baseline
+ uses: actions/checkout@v7
+ with:
+ ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }}
+ path: baseline
+ persist-credentials: false
+
+ - name: Checkout candidate
+ uses: actions/checkout@v7
+ with:
+ ref: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}
+ path: candidate
+ persist-credentials: false
+
+ - name: Compare skills
+ uses: GenRamzi/skillconform@v0.4.0
+ with:
+ mode: regress
+ baseline: baseline/skills
+ path: candidate/skills
+ fail-on: warning
+```
+
+For fork pull requests, keep the workflow on the unprivileged `pull_request` event and do not execute scripts from the candidate tree. SkillConform's static regression gate reads files only.
+
+## Why this is separate from live evaluation
+
+Static regression answers: **what changed in the skill's trust and portability surface?**
+
+Live evaluation answers: **did an agent perform the task better or worse with this skill?**
+
+Keeping these evidence classes separate makes pull-request decisions easier to audit. Future evaluation adapters can attach runtime evidence without weakening the deterministic gate.

+# Release and npm trusted publishing
+
+SkillConform publishes from GitHub Actions using npm Trusted Publishing (OIDC). The release workflow does not require a long-lived npm publish token.
+
+## One-time npm configuration
+
+The npm package owner must configure a Trusted Publisher for the existing `skillconform` package:
+
+1. Open the `skillconform` package on npmjs.com.
+2. Open **Settings → Trusted publishing**.
+3. Add **GitHub Actions** as a trusted publisher.
+4. Configure:
+ - GitHub organization/user: `GenRamzi`
+ - Repository: `skillconform`
+ - Workflow filename: `release.yml`
+ - Allowed action: enable direct `npm publish`
+5. Save the trusted publisher configuration.
+
+The workflow file is `.github/workflows/release.yml`, but npm expects only the filename `release.yml`.
+
+## Workflow security contract
+
+The workflow:
+
+- runs on a GitHub-hosted runner;
+- grants `id-token: write` for OIDC;
+- uses Node.js 24 and npm 11.15+;
+- disables package-manager caching in the release job;
+- validates TypeScript, tests, self-policy tests, self-audit, and package contents before publishing;
+- calls `npm publish` without `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN`;
+- relies on npm to create provenance automatically for trusted publishing;
+- creates the GitHub release only after npm publication succeeds or the version already exists.
+
+## Why token publishing was removed
+
+The previous release workflow used the repository secret `NPM_TOKEN`. It successfully published v0.1.1, but later v0.2.0 and v0.3.0 publish attempts were rejected by npm after all project validation passed. Trusted publishing removes the long-lived write credential and binds publishing to this repository and workflow.
+
+## Recovery
+
+If a release fails with an authentication error:
+
+- verify the npm Trusted Publisher values match `GenRamzi/skillconform` and `release.yml` exactly;
+- verify direct `npm publish` is allowed for that trusted publisher;
+- keep `id-token: write` enabled;
+- do not add a write-capable `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN` back as a workaround.
+
+Once the trusted publisher is configured, re-running the failed release or merging the next version bump will perform a fresh OIDC publish.
