This release focuses on repository reliability rather than new skill volume. It merges the Windows validation and activation hardening from PR #457, adds stronger smoke coverage for the batch activation path, and finishes a broad ## When to Use cleanup so the repository stays within the current quality bar without carrying contributor-side generated drift.
New Skills
- None in this release -
9.7.0is a reliability and documentation-hardening release.
Improvements
- Windows activation reliability - makes
scripts/activate-skills.batsafer around helper discovery, Python probing, archive-prefix overrides, and fallback activation behavior. - Cross-platform validation consistency - normalizes path handling in registry and validation utilities so Windows path separators no longer create false negatives in tooling and tests.
- Windows smoke coverage - adds dedicated batch-script smoke coverage, including the missing-helper fallback path, and refreshes supporting installer and plugin tests.
- Skill guidance cleanup - adds explicit
## When to Usesections across a large set ofSKILL.mdfiles so trigger intent is clearer and warning-budget checks stay green. - Release hygiene - keeps contributor PRs source-only while letting
mainown the generated catalog sync after merge.
Who should care
- Windows users get a more reliable activation path and fewer path-related validation surprises.
- Maintainers get cleaner contributor PR handling, better smoke coverage, and a release path aligned with the current generated-artifact contract.
- Anyone browsing skills directly gets clearer
When to Useguidance across a much larger portion of the library.
