Vibe Skills 4.1.0

• Date: 2026-08-29
• Release commit: a8fcf836cd44b0cf5902c8b4641d367dc09a84fd

Highlights

Vibe Skills 4.1.0 brings the strongest Skill-organization and delivery patterns from the SkillsBench work into the existing production workflow.

• Carries user-confirmed Skill inputs, outputs, planning hints, and verification hints from Skill Cards into WorkPlan and ModuleAssignments.
• Adds explicit module dependencies with stable topological ordering, keeping execution and delivery aligned with the approved plan.
• Makes resumed work revision-safe by invalidating stale results when dependencies, verification rules, accepted Skill guidance, or completed artifacts change.
• Produces a concise WorkDossier summary of verified outcomes, artifact locations, checks, and genuine blockers.
• Keeps the existing interactive_governed conversation, TaskCard revision, and user-consensus flow.
• Improves release governance for externalized release history and synchronizes version 4.1.0 across packages, manifests, installation guidance, and bilingual README surfaces.

SkillsBench Results

The public large-scale multi-Skill study evaluates task execution with 195 specialized Skills available in the same environment. Under the published DeepSeekV4Flash-VE and OpenHands setup, the study reports:

• Mean verifier reward: 50.28% to 71.40% (+21.12 percentage points)
• Total token use: -29.6%
• Tool calls: -33.1%
• Full-score tasks: 39 to 57

The README now surfaces the task-outcome and resource-use figures near the top of the project. See the public study, data, and reproduction instructions.

Installation

Download vibe-skills-4.1.0-public.zip, extract it outside the managed Skill directory, and run the wrapper for the target Skill root.

Shared user-level install:

pwsh -NoProfile -File .\install.ps1 -SkillsDir "$HOME\.agents\skills"
pwsh -NoProfile -File .\check.ps1 -SkillsDir "$HOME\.agents\skills"

Codex-only install:

pwsh -NoProfile -File .\install.ps1 -SkillsDir "$HOME\.codex\skills"
pwsh -NoProfile -File .\check.ps1 -SkillsDir "$HOME\.codex\skills"

Validation Notes

• Canonical Python validation: 165 passed
• Distribution build test: 1 passed
• Version consistency gate: 9/9 passed
• Version packaging gate: 9/9 passed
• Release truth consistency gate: passed
• Fresh public-bundle installation and check: passed with zero missing, drifted, or extra files
• Installed freshness: 276 receipt-owned files passed
• Source, extracted bundle, installation, and receipt hashes: 276/276 matched
• GitHub PR checks: host-boundary, python-validation, and CodeRabbit passed
• Release proof workflow: passed

The release-proof workflow independently rebuilt the distribution and public ZIP from the released tag, reran canonical validation, and attached its formal proof bundle to this Release.

Migration Notes

For an existing installation, extract the v4.1.0 package, run update against the current SkillsDir, and then run check. Confirm that receipt-owned missing and drifted file counts are both zero.

This release keeps the existing production mode and task records. It does not introduce a separate benchmark runtime or OpenHands dependency into the installed product.
