What's New

Security Audit on add-skill

The add-skill command now runs a security audit before installing a skill, giving developers a chance to review potential issues before the skill is added to their project.

PR: #616

New laravel-best-practices Skill

A new skill is available that encodes Laravel best practices guidance, which Claude can draw on when helping with Laravel projects.

Ignore Skills Update Command

A new ignore option for the skills update command lets you skip updates for specific skills, giving more control over which skills get updated when running the update command.
