Added
- since-cutoff (#1663) —
since-cutofflists which APIs of a project's pinned Python dependencies changed after the model's training cutoff, shows where the code uses them, and can write shortAGENTS.mdorCLAUDE.mdnotes. The comparison is a staticgriffediff pinned touvx since-cutoff@0.4.1;scanmakes no model calls, writes only to its own git-ignored folder, and asks before the first download.risk: safe. - Omentir LinkedIn outreach (#1662) —
omentir-linkedin-outreachruns LinkedIn prospecting and outreach through the hosted Omentir MCP server: find people, score fit from evidence, draft messages, and check campaigns. Research and drafts only by default, never sends unless asked in the session, never signs into LinkedIn, and never asks for the user's LinkedIn credentials.risk: critical. - Guided skill intake (#1664) — AAS Core's MCP
initializecontract now offers an optional guided intake for users who want help explaining their goal before skill selection. It stays advisory: the agent still owns project analysis and the exact skill choice.
Changed
- Vercel OSS hosting (#1667, #1669) — prepare the catalog for hosting on the sponsored Vercel team while retaining
https://aaskills.tech/as the canonical public URL. Addsvercel.json, a.vercelignore, build-time docs metadata that does not depend on Git, and the Vercel OSS Program badge in the README support section. - Live SEO checks (#1677, #1678) — align the live SEO contract with the title, description, and structured metadata the catalog actually renders, drop the stale FAQPage and homepage wording requirements, and shorten the homepage meta description flagged by Bing Webmaster Tools.
- TraderSpy source credit (#1661) — restore the
target1m/traderspy-mcpentry under Official Sources that #1610 added and #1621 accidentally overwrote, so the sixtraderspy-*skills are credited again. - Installer path resolution (#1673) — fix a bug where a relative
--pathwas resolved against the working directory twice, so the README's documented OpenCode command installed to a doubled directory, never created.agents/skills, and still exited 0. Absolute and~-prefixed paths were already correct and are unchanged. - Dependency advisories (#1675) — override
ip-addressin theloki-modeexample backend, clearing two moderate advisories that reached the project throughexpress-rate-limit. - Dependency refreshes (#1665, #1666) — update
@supabase/supabase-jsto 2.116.0 andreact-virtuosoto 4.18.13 in the catalog web app.
