As far as I understand, you want to create a Web Deploy package of your application and a custom Web PI feed that will include this package into Web PI.

Here is a reference on how to build a Web Application package. You will be able to automate this step using Web Deploy command line:

One more reference is to a blog that has a sample feed that will include your application to Web PI through a cusotm feed. You will be able to automate this step by creating a custom feed and then just replacing the hash in the feed whenever a new package becomes available:
