v1.8.0 February 15, 2026

Breaking Changes

  • Removed agent template type — skills and agents are distinct; agent scaffolding belongs in .claude/agents/
  • Removed --memory and --model scaffold flags (agent-only fields)
  • Removed 5 agent-only validators — validation checks reduced from 25 to 20

Features

  • New --license <text> scaffold flag for agentskills.io spec compliance
  • New --compatibility <text> scaffold flag for compatibility requirements
  • New --metadata <key=value> repeatable scaffold flag for custom metadata
  • Interactive mode now prompts for license, compatibility, and metadata entries

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed compatibility validation inconsistency with whitespace trimming
  • Fixed metadata comma parsing — replaced comma-separated input with multi-entry loop

Improvements

  • Field length corrections: compatibility max increased to 500 chars, argument-hint max increased to 200 chars
  • 100 new end-to-end tests, type guard unit tests for all 15 exported functions
