  • hooks.json path fallback for manual installs

Agent Skills 0.6.3 sharpens code review, adds two new reference checklists and an honest comparison doc, and introduces a set of guardrails that steer new-skill work away from duplication, plus a wave of community fixes and polish.

Highlights
  • Deeper code review. code-review-and-quality gains structural-depth lenses (reduce-don't-relocate, a named Structural Remedies catalog, a file-size gate, and finding prioritization), and its severity labels now line up with the skill's own taxonomy. (#304, #302)
  • Two new reference checklists. An observability checklist (on-call questions, RED/USE metrics, symptom-based alerting) and a project-wide Definition of Done. (#240, #317)
  • How it compares. A new docs/comparison.md puts agent-skills side by side with Superpowers and Matt Pocock's skills, with a link to a controlled head-to-head. (#300)
  • Guardrails against duplicate skills. A CONTRIBUTING pre-flight checklist, a path-scoped .claude/rules/ guardrail, a PR-overlap guideline, and validator/CI upgrades that enforce naming, description triggers, and command-description parity. (#301, #313, #325, #323, #270, #255)

Fixes & polish
  • Use repo-relative script paths (drop the old /mnt/skills/user/ form). (#307, @creazyfrog)
  • Fix the Gemini /ship agent path. (#306, @creazyfrog)
  • Explain the expected "commands/ ignored" plugin warning, and clear the underlying lint without breaking Antigravity. (#305, @creazyfrog; #273, @CollabxConstruct)
  • Antigravity code-simplify reads AGENTS.md. (#288, @Dashsoap)
  • Make helper scripts executable. (#289, #276, @Dashsoap)
  • hooks.json path fallback for manual installs. (#269, @worldfunction4)
  • Move agents/README.md to docs/agents.md to fix a custom-agent frontmatter warning. (#260, @nucliweb)
Docs & CI
  • Document the /webperf command and setup. (#247, @Bortlesboat; #268, @CooperSheroy)
