OpenWebUI Skills Manager v0.3.0 Release Notes

This release introduces significant reliability enhancements for the auto-discovery mechanism, enables overwrite by default, and undergoes a major architectural refactor.

New Features

• Enhanced Directory Discovery: Replaced single-directory scan with a deep recursive Git trees search, ensuring SKILL.md files in nested subdirectories are properly discovered.
• Default Overwrite Mode: ALLOW_OVERWRITE_ON_CREATE is now enabled (True) by default. Skills installed or created with the same name will be overwritten instead of throwing an error.

Bug Fixes

• Deep Module Discovery: Fixed an issue where the install_skill auto-discovery function would fail to find nested skills when given a root directory (e.g., when SKILL.md is hidden inside plugins/visual-explainer/ rather than the immediate root). Resolves #58.
• Missing Positional Arguments: Fixed an issue where _emit_status and _emit_notification would crash due to missing valves parameter references after the stateless codebase refactoring.

Enhancements

• Code Refactor: Decoupled all internal helper methods from the Tools class to global scope, making the codebase stateless, cleaner, and strictly enforcing context injection.

Commits

• feat(openwebui-skills-manager): enhance auto-discovery and structural refactoring
• Enable default overwrite installation policy for overlapping skills
• Support deep recursive GitHub trees discovery mechanism to resolve #58

• READMEs and docs synced (v0.3.0)
• fix(copilot-sdk): implement dict-based isolated cache and optimize session config
• Fix model list flapping bug by utilizing dictionary-based '_discovery_cache' keyed by config hash instead of wiping a global list.
