Publishing the data-pipeline-tools Plugin

Background

You're a developer at Acme working on the data-pipeline-tools Tessl plugin. The plugin bundles several data pipeline authoring skills, but two of the three skills (validate-schema and transform-csv) were originally written by a colleague, Jordan, who has since moved to another team. You've been handed ownership and are now preparing the plugin for a wider release.

The plugin started as an internal tool (private: true) and version 0.1.0, but the team has decided it should be shared publicly across the organization and beyond. This is the plugin's second release — you've added improvements to write-pipeline since the first version.

The plugin directory is at my-plugin/. The plugin manifest is at my-plugin/.tessl-plugin/plugin.json.

Your Task

Produce a file called publish-checklist.md in the current directory. The checklist should walk through every step a developer needs to complete to safely and correctly publish this plugin — from pre-publish checks through to the actual publish command.

The checklist should reflect the full context: the plugin is moving from private to public, it includes skills you didn't write yourself, and this is not the first release. Write it as an actionable, numbered list that a developer could follow step by step.

Also include a short note at the bottom of publish-checklist.md about what to do if, after publishing, the team decides they want to take the plugin down or prevent new installs.
