🎨 skillshare v0.16.5 Release Notes

Release date: 2026-02-28

TL;DR

v0.16.5 is a Web UI and quality-of-life release:

1. Dark theme — toggle light/dark in the Web UI; auto-detects system preference
2. Update page — dedicated batch-update page with select-all, per-item progress, and result summary
3. Security overview card — dashboard shows risk level badge and severity breakdown at a glance
4. Sync mode selector — change merge/symlink mode per target directly from the Targets page
5. Custom target validation fix — check and doctor no longer false-flag user-defined targets
6. upgrade version transition — Homebrew and direct upgrades now show clear v0.x → v0.y output
7. 2 new targets — oh-my-pi (omp) and Lingma (lingma)

What's New

1) Web UI: Dark Theme

The Web UI now supports dark mode with a sun/moon toggle button. The theme:

• Persists to localStorage across sessions
• Auto-detects prefers-color-scheme on first visit
• Uses warm brown backgrounds and gold accents aligned with the website color palette
• All components (cards, code editor, modals) are theme-aware

2) Web UI: Dedicated Update Page

Previously, updating tracked skills was only available from the Sync page. v0.16.5 adds a dedicated Update page with:

• Checkbox list of all tracked repos with available updates
• Select-all toggle for batch operations
• Per-item progress tracking with staggered animations
• Result summary panel showing success/failure counts

Navigate to it from the sidebar under "Update".

3) Web UI: Security Overview Card

The Dashboard's security section now shows:

• A risk-level badge (clean/low/medium/high/critical)
• Color-coded severity breakdown (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW/INFO)
• Accent card highlight when CRITICAL findings exist
• Green "All Clear" message when no findings

4) Web UI: Sync Mode Selector

The Targets page now has a dropdown per target to switch between merge and symlink sync modes directly in the UI. Each mode includes a description explaining its behavior.

5) Custom Target Validation Fix

check and doctor previously only recognized built-in targets from targets.yaml, causing false "unknown target" warnings for user-configured custom targets.

Both commands now include user-defined target names from global and project config in the known set. Fixes #57.

6) upgrade Version Transition

skillshare upgrade now displays clear version transitions:

Upgraded  v0.16.3 → v0.16.5

This works for all upgrade paths:

• Homebrew: brew upgrade skillshare → shows transition or "Already up to date ✓"
• Direct download: binary self-update with version display
• Skill install: "Installed v0.16.5" (new) or "Upgraded v0.1.0 → v0.16.5"

7) New Targets

omp has the alias oh-my-pi. Both names work in all commands.

Web UI Accessibility Improvements

• aria-labels on interactive elements
• htmlFor linking labels to form inputs
• Focus trap for modals (Tab key stays within modal)
• ErrorBoundary wrapping the app for graceful error recovery

Bug Fixes

• Modal scroll-away — clicking checkboxes in the skill picker no longer causes content to disappear (replaced overflow-hidden with overflow-clip on Card)
• Subdir URL discovery — install form now correctly handles git URLs with subdirectory paths, showing the skill picker for multi-skill subdirectories #56
