[8.2.0] - 2026-03-18 - "Community Skill Expansion and Plugin Repair"
Added six community skills, repaired Claude marketplace metadata, and closed the 2026-03-18 maintainer sweep with refreshed release docs
This release captures the maintainer pass completed after v8.1.0. It adds six new community skills for Astro, Hono, SvelteKit, PydanticAI, blockchain data access, and GitHub repository cleanup; fixes malformed markdown in browser-extension-builder; repairs missing metadata labels in legacy skills; credits an additional upstream skills source; and corrects the Claude Code marketplace plugin manifest so installs remain schema-valid.

- hono — Hono web framework patterns for APIs, middleware, validation, and edge/server runtimes (PR #336)

- Skill content repair: Removed malformed nested code fences from
skills/browser-extension-builder/SKILL.md, resolving the accepted fix path for issue#335and the follow-up report in issue#339(PR #338). - Metadata hygiene: Restored missing required frontmatter labels in
skills/skill-anatomy/SKILL.md,skills/adapter-patterns/SKILL.md, andskills/devcontainer-setup/SKILL.md(PRs #333 and #343). - Claude plugin stability: Corrected
