+# GitHub Packages - First Time Setup
+
+Follow these steps ONE TIME to enable publishing to GitHub Packages.
+
+## Step 1: Create GitHub Personal Access Token
+
+1. **Open GitHub Settings:**
+   - Go to: https://github.com/settings/tokens
+   - Or: GitHub → Settings (top right) → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic)
+
+2. **Generate New Token:**
+   - Click **"Generate new token"** button
+   - Select **"Generate new token (classic)"**
+
+3. **Configure Token:**
+   - **Note:** `Publish agentic-kit to GitHub Packages`
+   - **Expiration:** Select `90 days` (or your preference)
+   - **Select scopes:** ✅ Check these boxes:
+     - ✅ `write:packages` - Upload packages to GitHub Package Registry
+     - ✅ `read:packages` - Download packages from GitHub Package Registry
+     - ✅ `delete:packages` - Delete packages (optional, but recommended)
+
+4. **Generate and Copy:**
+   - Click **"Generate token"** at the bottom
+   - **IMPORTANT:** Copy the token immediately (starts with `ghp_`)
+   - You won't be able to see it again!
+
+## Step 2: Set Environment Variable
+
+Add the token to your shell environment:
+
+### On Linux/macOS:
+
+**Temporary (current session only):**
+```bash
+export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
+```
+
+**Permanent (add to shell config):**
+```bash
+# For bash users (add to ~/.bashrc)
+echo 'export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE' >> ~/.bashrc
+source ~/.bashrc
+
+# For zsh users (add to ~/.zshrc)
+echo 'export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE' >> ~/.zshrc
+source ~/.zshrc
+```
+
+### On Windows:
+
+**Command Prompt:**
+```cmd
+set GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
+```
+
+**PowerShell:**
+```powershell
+$env:GITHUB_TOKEN="ghp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
+```
+
+**Permanent (Windows):**
+1. Search for "Environment Variables" in Start Menu
+2. Click "Edit the system environment variables"
+3. Click "Environment Variables" button
+4. Under "User variables", click "New"
+5. Variable name: `GITHUB_TOKEN`
+6. Variable value: `ghp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE`
+7. Click OK to save
+
+## Step 3: Verify Setup
+
+Check that the token is set correctly:
+
+```bash
+# Linux/macOS
+echo $GITHUB_TOKEN
+
+# Windows CMD
+echo %GITHUB_TOKEN%
+
+# Windows PowerShell
+echo $env:GITHUB_TOKEN
+```
+
+You should see your token starting with `ghp_`
+
+## Step 4: Test Publishing
+
+Now you're ready! Try publishing:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/hamr/PycharmProjects/agentflow
+
+# Publish to both registries
+npm run publish:both
+
+# Or just GitHub Packages
+npm run publish:github
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+After publishing to GitHub Packages:
+
+1. Go to: https://github.com/amrhas82/agentflow
+2. Look for **"Packages"** on the right sidebar
+3. You should see `agentflow` listed
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Error: 401 Unauthorized
+
+**Cause:** Token not set or incorrect
+
+**Fix:**
+```bash
+# Verify token is set
+echo $GITHUB_TOKEN
+
+# If empty, set it again
+export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
+```
+
+### Error: 403 Forbidden
+
+**Cause:** Token doesn't have correct permissions
+
+**Fix:**
+1. Go back to https://github.com/settings/tokens
+2. Find your token and click it
+3. Ensure `write:packages` is checked
+4. If not, create a new token with correct permissions
+
+### Error: 404 Not Found
+
+**Cause:** Repository doesn't exist or name mismatch
+
+**Fix:**
+- Verify repository exists: https://github.com/amrhas82/agentflow
+- Check package.json has correct name: `agentflow`
+
+### Token Expired
+
+**When:** After 90 days (or your chosen expiration)
+
+**Fix:**
+1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
+2. Generate a new token (same process as Step 1)
+3. Update your environment variable with new token
+
+---
+
+**That's it!** Once set up, you can publish to both registries with one command:
+
+```bash
+npm run publish:both
+```
