 Reusable building blocks for Rust `xtask` crates.
 
 This crate is deliberately **not** a framework for defining one universal `xtask`
 CLI. Each repository should keep its own `clap` command tree and product-specific
-build flow. `xtask` provides the small, reusable primitives that tend to be copied
+build flow. `xtask-kit` provides the small, reusable primitives that tend to be copied
 between repositories: repository paths, file checks, process helpers, artifact
 hashing, Apple signing, DMG packaging, Sparkle appcasts, and GitHub Actions outputs.

 ## Publishing
 
-The package name `xtask` is intentionally short. Before publishing, run:
+Publish both package names for each release:
+
+- `xtask` keeps existing users compatible.
+- `xtask-kit` is the preferred non-colliding package name for repositories that
+  already have their own `xtask` package.
+
+For each package name, run:
 
 ```sh
 cargo publish --dry-run --all-features
+cargo publish --all-features
 ```
 
-Then publish with a crates.io token from an account that should own the crate.
+Keep the version number identical for both packages. The repository normally
+tracks the `xtask-kit` package metadata; publish the compatibility `xtask`
+package from a temporary clean checkout or release branch by changing only
+`package.name` and docs.rs metadata for that publish.
