SkillDB

Changelog

SkillDB is in active development. Follow the features, improvements, and fixes as they ship.

Latest release: October 30, 2026

v3.18.1October 30, 2026
  • FixedEmpty catalog searches now offer more useful shorter queries, skipping conversational filler and suggestions that match the entire catalog when no filters are selected. Suggestions retain category and pack filters, literal technology names, and real match counts; the original search stays unchanged.
  • NewAdded skills for Object Snapshot Mirror Regression Test.
v3.18.0October 28, 2026
  • NewAdded skills for Private Image Upload Acceptance Test.
  • FixedSearching for Golang now finds the existing Go programming skills in the website, API, MCP and autocomplete. Additional search terms and catalog filters still apply, without mixing in unrelated uses of the word go.
  • FixedPublisher schedules that become more than 24 hours late during image preparation now stop for a new review before sending. Unsent preparation releases its allowance; already-started publication requests keep their delivery evidence and cannot be automatically resent.
  • FixedSocial queue mirroring now protects newer queued items and review holds from stale deployments. Conflicting or unreadable snapshots stop the mirror, and its command reports unsuccessful uploads as failures.
v3.17.0October 27, 2026
  • NewAdded skills for Scheduled HTTP Job Outcome Verification.
  • FixedInterrupted Publisher deliveries that cannot be checked after an account disconnect now wait for manual delivery review, allowing other scheduled posts to proceed. Their reviewed content and reserved allowance remain protected, and uncertain posts are never automatically resent.
  • ImprovedPrepared Private Image Upload Acceptance Test for the review queue, with primary sources and isolated byte, ownership and approved-image scenarios. This candidate is not yet published in the catalog.
  • FixedSkill Spotlight videos now fit their visual sections to short narration when an install cue is omitted. Authored timing stays intact, and invalid section timing is reported before rendering.
v3.16.0October 26, 2026
  • NewAdded skills for CI Artifact Handoff Verification.
  • ImprovedPrepared Scheduled HTTP Job Outcome Verification for the review queue, with source evidence and local execution scenarios. This candidate is not yet published in the catalog.
v3.15.1October 25, 2026
  • FixedDaily skill review preparation now reads complete Git history, preventing missing or stale modification dates for previously committed skills.
  • ImprovedPrepared CI Artifact Handoff Verification for the review queue, with source evidence and local verification scenarios. This candidate is not yet published in the catalog.
v3.15.0October 24, 2026
  • NewAdded skills for Ambiguous API Write Recovery.
v3.14.1October 23, 2026
  • ImprovedMade the development-preview MCP catalog easier to connect with copyable host setup, a first-task prompt, and a runnable integration example. Setup now clearly separates free public previews from authenticated full-content access.
  • FixedUpdated the development-preview website's framework and HTML sanitization dependencies to patched releases, with matching lint tooling and refreshed dependency verification.
  • FixedSkill search now accepts common punctuation around keywords without hiding relevant matches, while preserving technology names such as C++, C#, .NET, and CI/CD. Empty catalog searches offer shorter queries with confirmed matches under the current category and pack filters.
  • FixedPublishing health now distinguishes successful SkillDB posts, stale channels, unavailable provider data, and unused queue items instead of treating old posts or already-published assets as a healthy pipeline.
  • NewSkillDB is still in active development. New skill candidates now follow a bounded daily review queue with source references, content checks, and review PRs before publication.
  • NewAdded skills for Keyboard Dialog Regression Test and Catalog Discovery Contract Test.
  • NewAdded an internal Publisher workspace for reviewed Bluesky text and link drafts, account checks and delivery receipts. Direct account setup is required; Instagram integration remains in development.
  • NewThe internal Publisher now supports private JPEG uploads, image descriptions, reviewed schedules, and direct Instagram account setup alongside Bluesky. Account authorization and a controlled platform cutover are required before delivery; the integration remains in development.
  • ImprovedPublishing health now distinguishes direct deliveries from legacy channels, and uncertain send results retain their delivery record instead of being automatically resent.
  • ImprovedThe authored skill queue now includes an API write-recovery candidate with source review and isolated behavioral checks. It remains a queued candidate pending the catalog publication workflow; this preparation does not add a published skill.
v3.14.0October 7, 2026
  • NewSkillDB admins can save social-library caption revisions, inspect earlier versions, and record review decisions and notes separately from the publishing queue.
v3.13.0October 5, 2026
  • ImprovedSkill pages render their Markdown on the server while copying remains interactive.
  • ImprovedCatalog browsing and search use a smaller shared index while full skill content and summaries remain available.
  • ImprovedCharts load when needed, and saved-skill indicators stay in sync across views.
  • FixedUpdated the application framework, supported Node runtime, and dependency security patches.
  • ImprovedRelease notes now follow the exact version deployed, with reviewed notes for each update.
  • NewStarted a read-only SkillDB plugin preview for catalog search and skill previews. ChatGPT and Codex directory publication is still in development.
  • FixedGave timeline controls a responsive toolbar with clear daily, weekly, monthly, chart type, and cumulative options. Switching views no longer crowds or shifts the controls.
  • ImprovedMade agent setup and a sample skill easier to reach from the homepage, clarified account actions, and improved text contrast. Catalog figures now use current catalog data.
  • FixedCorrected dashboard billing navigation, API key onboarding, keyboard access to dashboard commands, and usage reporting periods. Failed data requests now show an error and retry action instead of misleading zeroes or demo statistics.
  • ImprovedOrganized admin navigation and added an overview of operational actions with clearer data availability and refresh status.
  • NewAdded account-owned collections in development: save public skill shortlists across devices, compare stated coverage, copy a comparison for chat, and explicitly import browser bookmarks. Saves use account authorization and transactional limits.
  • NewAdded four development starter bundles with skill-selection notes, source links, and explicit Markdown or JSON reference exports. Task evaluations remain pending; exports do not install skills.
  • NewAdded a development catalog for two local workflow-plugin drafts, covering code review and form accessibility, with source references, ownership, and pending evaluation cases. Distribution and host validation remain pending.
  • NewAdded a private team library pilot with workspace-owned drafts, member roles, search, and checks that protect access when membership changes.
  • FixedPrivate skill sharing now uses unambiguous source references. Private libraries temporarily require website sign-in while API-key security is strengthened; public catalog integrations remain available.
  • FixedAccount changes now clear previously displayed private skills, API keys, usage, and edit forms before the next account is shown.
  • NewAdded a local skill quality workbench for reviewing Markdown drafts with explained text checks, defining test cases, and recording manual evaluation evidence with exact draft snapshots. Browser save and validated JSON import/export keep authors in control of their drafts; the workbench does not send content to a model or assign a quality score.
  • ImprovedAdded a 77-second walkthrough made from actual SkillDB Labs screens and a separate 45-second Codex test-transcript walkthrough, with native playback controls, chapters, English captions, and matching transcripts. The homepage features the Labs video, while the Codex evidence page preserves the recorded 0.1.0 tests and links a separate eight-case 0.1.1 review. ChatGPT testing remains clearly marked pending.
  • ImprovedAdded catalog tool title annotations for host compatibility and clarified their public metadata and short-preview scope. Published reviewed Claude, Cursor, and OpenAI discovery packages under MIT in a separate public repository; directory review and approval remain pending.
  • ImprovedPrepared the SkillDB 0.1.1 portable plugin with support and icon metadata, review cases, and release notes. Deterministic packaging preserves the logo and excludes undeclared files; this preparation does not represent a public directory listing.
  • ImprovedClarified the privacy notice for anonymous catalog discovery: request bodies are processed in memory, IP-based rate limits use temporary counters, and Google Cloud hosting request metadata is retained for 30 days. The existing 90-day API usage-log statement now explicitly covers authenticated API usage. This clarifies current behavior without changing retention.
  • NewAdded a narrated, SkillDB-branded walkthrough with captions and sanitized evidence from a real ChatGPT browser catalog pilot: a sourced TypeScript-review shortlist, an unsupported installation request, and an empty search. The demo distinguishes the custom MCP connection from the complete plugin package and public directory publication.
  • NewPublished development-preview discovery adapters for GitHub Copilot and Gemini CLI, plus a public SkillDB Catalog record in the Official MCP Registry. The catalog connection provides anonymous search and short previews; marketplace review and indexing are separate steps.
  • FixedRemoved outdated shared MCP discovery metadata so catalog listings can inspect the selected endpoint's actual tools and sign-in requirements. Agent setup guidance now distinguishes anonymous catalog discovery from the separate OAuth connector.
  • ImprovedExpanded discovery for the SkillDB development preview: the public catalog is listed on Smithery and Glama with task search and short skill previews. The separate authenticated Glama integration now passes its connection check.
v3.12.4September 29, 2026
  • FixedSocial ad promotion destination resolution — legacy topic spotlight posts route to catalog search results as payable landing pages instead of dropping out of boost evaluation, qualifying older high-engagement creative for automated paid campaigns.
v3.12.3September 8, 2026
  • FixedSocial ad promotion analytics mapping — the ad promotion planner joins analytics performance rows against published post records to resolve content identifiers and infers destinations for legacy posts, unblocking candidate selection for paid social boosts.
v3.12.2September 7, 2026
  • FixedLive gap re-evaluation for zero-result searches — the admin gap analyzer re-evaluates historical zero-result search queries against the current live catalog, moving resolved topics to a filled list with direct result counts instead of reporting addressed demand as open gaps.
  • NewTime-series data quality and provenance skills pack — 9 skills covering timestamp and timezone integrity, gap and spike detection, data contracts with Pandera and Great Expectations, lineage via OpenLineage and W3C PROV, and dataset versioning with DVC and LakeFS.
v3.12.1September 5, 2026
  • FixedAnalytics bot filtering and view gating — admin metrics report GA4 engaged sessions and rank views with dwell time thresholds, filtering out aggressive headless scrapers from catalog traffic counts and country rankings.
  • NewEngineering dispatch on headless scrapers and a bot traffic defense pack — breaks down how a single crawler accounted for 87% of catalog visits, compute and analytics distortion, and adds 9 defensive skills in the bot-traffic-and-crawler-defense-skills pack.
  • FixedPack label title casing — pack titles format minor words in lowercase across catalog browse and search results, producing standard titles like Tone of Voice and Bot Traffic and Crawler Defense.
v3.12.0September 3, 2026
  • NewCampaign voice engine and review gate — social copy generation enforces verified campaign registers and tone rules, while a review gate holds unapproved posts from entering the publishing queue.
  • FixedSocial queue reconciliation and storage sync — the publisher reconciles staged posts against the approved pool before broadcast to preserve admin edits and drop retired items, while cloud pool mirrors only sync after repository commits land.
  • ImprovedStrategy engine scoreboard and lane ranking — calculate true 14-day window deltas across follows, saves, shares, and clicks instead of summing cumulative snapshot metrics, ranking lanes by weighted actions per new post.
  • NewAutonomous social reply agent — classifies incoming comments across social posts by intent and drafts direct answers with catalog links.
  • ImprovedAdaptive timing for chat video renders — typing and reading durations compress proportionally to satisfy the 14-second platform limit instead of failing the build.
  • FixedSkill line counts and social card rendering — catalog pages and receipts display true line counts without trailing newlines, and 16:9 social cards preserve punchline subtitles across widescreen aspect ratios.
  • NewMobile-ready landing page at /lp/agent-skills — a lightweight destination for mobile visitors featuring live catalog search across 5,997 skills and an inline subscription flow that reveals install commands directly on the page.
  • NewCard frame rotation and contrast-ranked pairs — social cards rotate through gold, terminal receipt, and cream ledger templates, while shelf drafts prioritize high-contrast skill pairs with guaranteed punchline payoffs.
  • NewAgent health endpoint at /api/agents/health — public read-only probe monitoring lane queue depths, held drafts, backlog volume, enqueue timestamps, and cloud pool sync age, returning a 503 alert on empty pipelines.
  • ImprovedVoice engine retry loop — campaign drafts that fail voice gate validation receive model feedback for a single corrective revision before rejecting the render run.
  • FixedWeekly status metrics and revenue reporting — weekly status reports isolate true SkillDB MRR by excluding shared account charges and internal accounts, authenticate newsletter subscriber queries, and include per-lane social pipeline health.
  • FixedSocial queue pool merge concurrency — concurrent render runs write unique per-item records and merge by ID to prevent dropped queue items during simultaneous updates.
  • ImprovedAdmin console schedule and pack authoring — the operations console accurately reflects active background schedules for rendering, publishing, reply sweeps, and strategy runs, and the zero-result pack creator copies a formatted authoring brief directly to the clipboard.
  • FixedSkill spotlight links and carousel presentation — social spotlight posts link directly to the featured skill page rather than falling back to the pack hub, carousel decks carry background imagery across every slide, and outbound posts cap hashtags at three.
  • NewStatic lane scheduler for daily shelf drafts — runs a secondary autonomous draft pipeline at a configurable daily hour, walking the full catalog with stable pack permutations to produce collision-free shelf graphics without model calls.
  • New17 new skill packs across search gaps and global markets — adds 153 skills covering algebraic geometry, harmonic analysis, market data engineering, GitHub repo research, Asterisk PBX, geolocation OSINT, literature synthesis, and country-specific market packs.
v3.11.0September 2, 2026
  • NewDedicated pack hubs at /skills/<pack> — 429 crawlable landing pages grouping domain skills under dedicated URLs, complete with canonical tags and category-level discovery.
  • NewRSS feed and llms.txt — read the 50 newest posts via /rss.xml or parse the structured catalog and MCP connectivity guide at /llms.txt.
  • NewTechArticle structured data for the catalog — JSON-LD metadata across skill pages with modification dates, pack series definitions, and free-preview boundaries.
  • ImprovedDemand-driven blog topic selection — blog engine generates topics directly from high-volume catalog search queries and zero-result search gap data.
  • ImprovedCatalog-linked blog posts — mentions of catalog packs and skills across the blog automatically resolve to verified catalog URLs.
  • ImprovedServer-rendered homepage stats and landing page links — homepage category lists and targeted tool pages render verified catalog counts and direct pack URLs in server HTML.
  • FixedClaude MCP installation command — corrected the headline install instructions to npx -p skilldb skilldb-mcp across setup documentation and tool previews.
  • FixedSite-wide canonical URLs, sitemaps, and metadata — removed duplicate homepage canonical tags across 5,997 skill pages, fixed truncated meta descriptions, restored pack-sibling links, and stamped genuine commit dates in the sitemap.
  • FixedAutomated blog publishing and rendering — resolved composition mapping for social draft formats, unblocked automated deployment runs, and eliminated hero image layout shifts.
  • FixedSocial scheduler and publisher lanes — stopped scheduled post double-firing, corrected hashtag duplication over platform character limits, fixed pack rotation pacing, and restored the hourly publishing queue.
  • FixedAutonomous social publishing pipeline — render workers now automatically replenish the publishing pool in cloud storage as new video assets are produced, removing the manual build step that let queues run dry.
v3.10.0September 1, 2026
  • NewAutomated changelog generation — deploys automatically synthesize and publish user-facing release notes from shipped commits to /changelog, dropping internal chore commits and suppressing empty releases.
  • ImprovedCatalog count synchronization — the homepage, /about, /demo, /docs, /get-started, /mcp, /pitch, /pricing and /timeline take skill, pack and domain totals from build-time catalog constants instead of hardcoded strings or client-side fetches, so those pages render the right numbers in the HTML rather than filling them in after mount.
  • NewAdmin mailbox — a built-in mail client at /admin/mail: compose and reply from any of our sending addresses, with signatures, draft autosave and reply threading. Receiving is built but not yet switched on.
v3.9.0September 1, 2026
  • NewTop search-gap skills — six new skills targeting zero-result search demand: Phishing Defense, Fullstack TypeScript Architecture, Next.js Security, Postgres Operations, Web Design Fundamentals, and MCP Security Audit.
  • NewCommunity board tools for MCP — read posts and channel discussions or publish messages directly using skilldb_community_feed, skilldb_community_post, and skilldb_community_message.
  • NewAutonomous ad monitor — a monitor at /admin/agents/ads runs every two hours, evaluates campaign performance and escalates what needs a human, strictly scoped to pause-only permissions. It ships with no ad account cleared to spend.
  • NewBluesky and LinkedIn publishing lanes — automated queues and post format derivation for Bluesky and LinkedIn, backed by an engagement insights dashboard.
  • NewProduct promotions and email invitations — create product-scoped discount codes in the Promotions panel on /admin/billing and send personalized invite emails directly to contacts.
  • NewContent agent control room — configure publishing slots, platform targets, format overrides, and video draft timing at /admin/agents/content.
  • ImprovedProduct demo video v2 — 99-second cut featuring live catalog counters, raw markdown skill inspection, Claude Desktop setup, and ChatGPT connector workflows.
  • ImprovedAutomated blog engine controls — set post volume, tone of voice, focus topics, allowed categories, and hero image generation from the admin panel.
  • ImprovedCRM bounce tracking — automatic bounce and complaint recording from webhook events, one-click historical bounce backfills, and bounce-status filtering in the contact manager.
  • FixedSecurity and quota hardening — 75 verified vulnerability and logic fixes across 103 routes, including correcting an API rate limiter that checked monthly limits against lifetime call counts.
  • FixedWebhook signature verification — align webhook payload verification with provider signature headers and replay windows, restoring event tracking across opens, clicks, deliveries, and bounces.
  • FixedNewsletter and agent execution — execute scheduled newsletter runs and admin triggers through in-process libraries and explicit base URLs, resolving container self-fetch failures.
  • FixedOutreach delivery and validation — send outreach emails from the tracked subdomain to record opens and clicks, remove automated address guessing, and quarantine invalid contacts.
  • FixedSocial analytics collection — paginate analytics queries at provider batch caps to prevent silent request failures, and scope metric collection strictly to SkillDB profiles.
v3.8.0July 22, 2026
  • NewSpicy Reads pack — 10 reader-side skills for the romance boom: spicy book recommender (1–5 heat scale, comp-title matching), dark romance, romantasy, the literary erotica canon, TBR curation, plus monster, hockey/sports, billionaire, and werewolf-mate guides and a vertical micro-drama trope map (ReelShort/DramaBox era). All curation and discussion — professional-bookseller register.
  • NewTwo writing-craft skills to match: Steamy Romance Craft (heat level as a market decision, tension mechanics, consent-as-chemistry) and Micro Drama Writing (three-second hooks, one-reversal-per-episode ladders, paywall-aware structure). Catalog: 5,991 skills across 429 packs.
  • NewOne-click installs — "Add to Cursor" deeplink and "Install in VS Code" buttons on the SDK repo, plus a machine-readable MCP server card at mcp.skilldb.dev/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json so directories can index the connector's tools.
  • ImprovedDistribution — SkillDB is now live on PulseMCP, Smithery, and Cursor Directory, with listings on mcp.so, mcpservers.org, the GitHub MCP Registry, and more in review.
  • ImprovedEmail infrastructure overhaul — fully authenticated sending (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), verified domains, engagement tracking, and reply handling with a monitored inbox. Newsletters and notifications now actually deliver.
  • FixedSocial publishing is strictly scoped to SkillDB's own accounts — cross-profile posting on shared infrastructure is structurally impossible now.
v3.7.0July 17, 2026
  • NewProduct demo video — "See SkillDB in 90 seconds": a fully animated walkthrough of the catalog, the Claude Desktop connector, and before/after agent runs, with an original score. On the blog and streaming site-wide.

  • FixedBilling hardening — subscription events are verified to belong to SkillDB before touching any account, ending a class of cross-product interference on shared payment infrastructure.
  • FixedBrand mark — faithful favicon at every size, real .ico, and the missing Apple touch icon; plus an admin Users crash when viewing accounts with API keys.
  • FixedSecurity housekeeping — a service credential moved out of the repo into environment secrets.
v3.6.0June 22, 2026
  • NewRemote MCP connector — add SkillDB to Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) by URL: https://mcp.skilldb.dev. One paste, sign in with your SkillDB account, and your agent searches and loads skills with full content (Pro/Studio) — no install, no API key to manage.
  • NewOAuth 2.1 sign-in for the hosted connector — the standard, secure flow (Dynamic Client Registration, PKCE, refresh rotation) that Claude Desktop expects.
  • NewBlog — "Shipping an OAuth-protected remote MCP server": the spec you actually need, the three security bugs an adversarial review caught before launch, and the Cloud Run host gotcha.
  • NewOpen-sourced a runnable reference: github.com/devchad-cmd/mcp-oauth-starter — a minimal remote MCP server protected by OAuth 2.1 you can stand up in one command.
  • FixedCorrected the MCP setup page, server.json, and directory listings to the working install (`npx -p skilldb skilldb-mcp`) and the live connector URL; removed stale references and reconciled catalog counts site-wide (5,979 skills · 428 packs · 37 categories).
v3.5.0June 19, 2026
  • NewCustom private skills (Studio) — create skills only you can use, from your account (paste or upload a .md file), the new `skilldb push` CLI command, or your agent via MCP. They surface in your authenticated search results.
  • NewCLI v0.8.2: `skilldb push <file.md>` uploads a private skill (--update to edit) and `skilldb my-skills` lists yours; added a `skilldb sync` alias for update
  • NewThe CLI, SDK, and MCP server are now open source for transparency — github.com/devchad-cmd/skilldb-sdk — published to npm with build provenance (verifiably built from that repo)
  • ImprovedBilling: a grace period on failed payments — you keep your plan while the charge is retried, with a clear "update payment method" prompt instead of an instant cutoff
  • FixedMCP install command corrected to `npx -p skilldb skilldb-mcp` (the older `npx skilldb-mcp` form could not resolve the binary)
  • FixedYour private skills are now reachable from the nav and dashboard (Account → My Skills), plus the published package now ships its MIT license and assorted dashboard reliability fixes
v3.4.0June 19, 2026
  • NewAgentic Loops pack — 8 battle-tested loop patterns for coding agents: self-improvement (screenshot→improve→test), test-and-fix (red→green), bug-hunt (find→verify→fix until dry), migration (codemod fan-out), eval-driven (hill-climb on evals), research-synthesis, refactor-under-tests, and data-backfill
  • NewBlog — "Agentic Loops: Why the Best AI Coding Workflows Are Loops, Not Prompts": the three invariants that make agentic loops safe (a hard gate, one change per iteration, an honest stop signal) with a tour of all eight patterns
  • ImprovedTotal skills: 5,979 across 428 packs and 37 categories (was 5,971 across 427 packs)
