[2.5.2] - 2025-12-31

🔧 Package Configuration Improvement

This patch release improves the packaging configuration by switching from manual package listing to automatic package discovery, preventing similar issues in the future.

Changed

• Package Discovery: Switched from manual package listing to automatic discovery in pyproject.toml (#227)
  • Before: Manually listed 5 packages (error-prone when adding new modules)
  • After: Automatic discovery using [tool.setuptools.packages.find]
  • Benefits: Future-proof, prevents missing module bugs, follows Python packaging best practices
  • Impact: No functional changes, same packages included
  • Credit: Thanks to @iamKhan79690 for the improvement!

Package Structure

No changes to package contents - all modules from v2.5.1 are still included:

• ✅ skill_seekers (core)
• ✅ skill_seekers.cli (CLI tools)
• ✅ skill_seekers.cli.adaptors (platform adaptors)
• ✅ skill_seekers.mcp (MCP server)
• ✅ skill_seekers.mcp.tools (MCP tools)

Related Issues

• Closes #226 - MCP server package_skill tool fails (already fixed in v2.5.1, improved by this release)
• Merges #227 - Update setuptools configuration to include adaptors module

Contributors

• @iamKhan79690 - Automatic package discovery implementation

[2.5.1] - 2025-12-30

🐛 Critical Bug Fix - PyPI Package Broken

This patch release fixes a critical packaging bug that made v2.5.0 completely unusable for PyPI users.

Fixed

• CRITICAL: Added missing skill_seekers.cli.adaptors module to packages list in pyproject.toml (#221)
  • Issue: v2.5.0 on PyPI throws ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'skill_seekers.cli.adaptors'
  • Impact: Broke 100% of multi-platform features (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Markdown)
  • Cause: The adaptors module was missing from the explicit packages list
  • Fix: Added skill_seekers.cli.adaptors to packages in pyproject.toml
  • Credit: Thanks to @MiaoDX for finding and fixing this issue!

Package Structure

The skill_seekers.cli.adaptors module contains the platform adaptor architecture:

• base.py - Abstract base class for all adaptors
• claude.py - Claude AI platform implementation
• gemini.py - Google Gemini platform implementation
• openai.py - OpenAI ChatGPT platform implementation
• markdown.py - Generic markdown export

Note: v2.5.0 is broken on PyPI. All users should upgrade to v2.5.1 immediately.

fetch_config(config_name="react")

# New in v2.2.0 (optional)
add_config_source(name="team", git_url="...")
fetch_config(source="team", config_name="react-custom")

Known Limitations
