New Features

Search Experience

• Skill preview modal — clicking a search result card or table row now opens a preview modal that renders the remote SKILL.md so you can read the full content before installing. The Install button has moved inside the modal

  skillshare ui              # open Search, click any result

  Backed by a new GET /api/preview?source=owner/repo/path endpoint that fetches SKILL.md from the GitHub Contents API with a Git Tree fallback for hub sources, plus a 5-minute in-memory cache. If the fetch fails but hub metadata exists, the modal falls back to showing the description and tags instead of an error. Refs: #141

• Higher-quality search results — the scoring formula that ranked search hits was dominated by name matches (45%) while stars — the strongest quality signal — only contributed 5%, so zero-star personal experiments often outranked well-known skill repos. Weights are now rebalanced (name 28%, description 18%, stars 24%, source 12%, repository 18%), with a better star-count curve in the 5–50 range where most useful skills live

• Popular repo boost — a new repository-match score means searching a repo name (e.g. superpowers) surfaces the well-known hub (obra/superpowers) above lower-signal personal copies that happen to share the skill name

• Broader skill discovery — search now also queries GitHub's repository search and walks each repo's git tree for SKILL.md files, so skills living in popular repos that code search misses still appear in results

• Low-quality result filtering — search now filters out 0-star non-preferred repos, results with very short descriptions, and known spam orgs, and boosts preferred hubs like anthropics/skills and vercel-labs/skills. Results are also deduplicated when the same skill appears from multiple sources

• Repo-scoped search queries — you can now search inside a specific repo (or subdirectory) using owner/repo or owner/repo/subdir patterns

• Frontmatter validation — search results without valid SKILL.md frontmatter are filtered out, so non-skill .md files no longer appear in results

• One-line frontmatter support — SKILL.md files written as a single line (--- name: X description: Y ---) are now parsed correctly and surface with the right name and description

Skill Detail Editor

• Editable source URL on skill detail page — the skill editor now exposes a Source URL field so you can correct or reassign the upstream URL without touching disk

  skillshare ui              # open any skill's detail page → edit Source URL

  For tracked repos, updating one skill's source URL updates every sibling skill from the same repo and rewrites the git remote origin to match. Saving source-URL-only changes skips the diff review dialog
• Backed by a new PATCH /api/resources/{name}/source endpoint

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a skill lookup collision when a standalone skill and a tracked-repo skill shared the same base name — detail-page requests now prefer an exact FlatName match before falling back to the base name, so the correct skill is always returned
• Fixed spurious frontmatter diffs when only the body or source URL changed — the YAML serializer now preserves the original formatting (quote style, line wrapping) unless a field's value actually changed
• Fixed IntersectionObserver on the Search page not reconnecting after "load more", so infinite scrolling now continues to fire as you reach the bottom of the list
• Fixed background page scrolling when a modal was open — DialogShell now locks body scroll for all modal dialogs

Improvements

• Keyboard-accessible search results — search result cards and table rows now have role="button" with tabIndex=0 and respond to Enter/Space, so the preview modal can be opened without a mouse
• Bounded preview cache — the preview cache is now capped at 200 entries with TTL purge plus a full reset on overflow to prevent unbounded memory growth on long-running UI sessions
• Shared input components in the frontmatter editor — the editor now uses the same Input / Textarea primitives as the rest of the UI (with a new size="sm" variant) for visual consistency, and the editor header now uses the shared KindBadge / SourceBadge components
