[2.8.0] - 2026-02-01

🚀 Major Feature Release - Enhanced Code Analysis & Documentation

This release brings powerful new code analysis features, performance optimizations, and international API support. Special thanks to all our contributors who made this release possible!

Added

C3.9: Project Documentation Extraction

  • Markdown Documentation Extraction: Automatically extracts and categorizes all .md files from projects
    • Smart categorization by folder/filename (overview, architecture, guides, workflows, features, etc.)
    • Processing depth control: surface (raw copy), deep (parse+summarize), full (AI-enhanced)
    • AI enhancement (level 2+) adds topic extraction and cross-references
    • New "📖 Project Documentation" section in SKILL.md
    • Output to references/documentation/ organized by category
    • Default ON, use --skip-docs to disable
    • 15 new tests for documentation extraction features

Granular AI Enhancement Control

  • --enhance-level Flag: Fine-grained control over AI enhancement (0-3)
    • Level 0: No AI enhancement (default)
    • Level 1: SKILL.md enhancement only (fast, high value)
    • Level 2: SKILL.md + Architecture + Config + Documentation
    • Level 3: Full enhancement (patterns, tests, config, architecture, docs)
  • Config Integration: default_enhance_level setting in ~/.config/skill-seekers/config.json
  • MCP Support: All MCP tools updated with enhance_level parameter
  • Independent from --comprehensive: Enhancement level is separate from feature depth

C# Language Support

  • C# Test Example Extraction: Full support for C# test frameworks
    • Language alias mapping (C# → csharp, C++ → cpp)
    • NUnit, xUnit, MSTest test framework patterns
    • Mock pattern support (NSubstitute, Moq)
    • Zenject dependency injection patterns
    • Setup/teardown method extraction
    • 2 new tests for C# extraction features

Performance Optimizations

  • Parallel LOCAL Mode AI Enhancement: 6-12x faster with ThreadPoolExecutor
    • Concurrent workers: 3 (configurable via local_parallel_workers)
    • Batch processing: 20 patterns per Claude CLI call (configurable via local_batch_size)
    • Significant speedup for large codebases
  • Config Settings: New ai_enhancement section in config
    • local_batch_size: Patterns per CLI call (default: 20)
    • local_parallel_workers: Concurrent workers (default: 3)

UX Improvements

  • Auto-Enhancement: SKILL.md automatically enhanced when using --enhance or --comprehensive

    • No need for separate skill-seekers enhance command
    • Seamless one-command workflow
    • 10-minute timeout for large codebases
    • Graceful fallback with retry instructions on failure
  • LOCAL Mode Fallback: All AI enhancements now fall back to LOCAL mode when no API key is set

    • Applies to: pattern enhancement (C3.1), test examples (C3.2), architecture (C3.7)
    • Uses Claude Code CLI instead of failing silently
    • Better UX: "Using LOCAL mode (Claude Code CLI)" instead of "AI disabled"
  • Support for custom Claude-compatible API endpoints via ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL environment variable

  • Compatibility with GLM-4.7 and other Claude-compatible APIs across all AI enhancement features

Changed

  • All AI enhancement modules now respect ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL for custom endpoints
  • Updated documentation with GLM-4.7 configuration examples
  • Rewritten LOCAL mode in config_enhancer.py to use Claude CLI properly with explicit output file paths
  • Updated MCP scrape_codebase_tool with skip_docs and enhance_level parameters
  • Updated CLAUDE.md with C3.9 documentation extraction feature and --enhance-level flag
  • Increased default batch size from 5 to 20 patterns for LOCAL mode

Fixed

  • C# Test Extraction: Fixed "Language C# not supported" error with language alias mapping
  • Config Type Field Mismatch: Fixed KeyError in config_enhancer.py by supporting both "type" and "config_type" fields
  • LocalSkillEnhancer Import: Fixed incorrect import and method call in main.py (SkillEnhancer → LocalSkillEnhancer)
  • Code Quality: Fixed 4 critical linter errors (unused imports, variables, arguments, import sorting)

Removed

  • Removed client-specific documentation files from repository

[2.7.4] - 2026-01-22

This patch release fixes the broken Chinese language selector link that appeared on PyPI and other non-GitHub platforms.

Fixed

  • Broken Language Selector Links on PyPI
    • Issue: Chinese language link used relative URL (README.zh-CN.md) which only worked on GitHub
    • Impact: Users on PyPI clicking "简体中文" got 404 errors
    • Solution: Changed to absolute GitHub URL (https://github.com/yusufkaraaslan/Skill_Seekers/blob/main/README.zh-CN.md)
    • Result: Language selector now works on PyPI, GitHub, and all platforms
    • Files Fixed: README.md, README.zh-CN.md

Technical Details

Why This Happened:

  • PyPI displays README.md but doesn't include README.zh-CN.md in the package
  • Relative links break when README is rendered outside GitHub repository context
  • Absolute GitHub URLs work universally across all platforms

Impact:

  • Chinese language link now accessible from PyPI
  • Consistent experience across all platforms
  • Better user experience for Chinese developers

[2.7.3] - 2026-01-21

🌏 International i18n Release

This documentation release adds comprehensive Chinese language support, making Skill Seekers accessible to the world's largest developer community.

Added

    • Language selector badges in both English and Chinese READMEs
    • Machine translation disclaimer with invitation for community improvements
    • GitHub issue #260 created for community review and contributions
    • Impact: Makes Skill Seekers accessible to 1+ billion Chinese speakers
  • 📦 PyPI Metadata Internationalization

    • Updated package description to highlight Chinese documentation availability
    • Added i18n-related keywords: "i18n", "chinese", "international"
    • Added Natural Language classifiers: English and Chinese (Simplified)
    • Added direct link to Chinese README in project URLs
    • Impact: Better discoverability on PyPI for Chinese developers

Why This Matters

  • Market Reach: Addresses existing Chinese traffic and taps into world's largest developer community
  • Discoverability: Better indexing on Chinese search engines (Baidu, Gitee, etc.)
  • User Experience: Native language documentation lowers barrier to entry
  • Community Growth: Opens contribution opportunities from Chinese developers
  • Competitive Edge: Most similar tools don't offer Chinese documentation

Community Engagement

Chinese developers are invited to improve the translation quality:


[2.7.2] - 2026-01-21

🚨 Critical CLI Bug Fixes

This hotfix release resolves 4 critical CLI bugs reported in issues #258 and #259 that prevented core commands from working correctly.

Fixed

  • Issue #258: install --config command fails with unified scraper (#258)

    • Root Cause: unified_scraper.py missing --fresh and --dry-run argument definitions
    • Solution: Added both flags to unified_scraper argument parser and main.py dispatcher
    • Impact: skill-seekers install --config react now works without "unrecognized arguments" error
    • Files Fixed: src/skill_seekers/cli/unified_scraper.py, src/skill_seekers/cli/main.py
  • Issue #259 (Original): scrape command doesn't accept URL and --max-pages (#259)

    • Root Cause: No positional URL argument or --max-pages flag support
    • Solution: Added positional URL argument and --max-pages flag with safety warnings
    • Impact: skill-seekers scrape https://example.com --max-pages 50 now works
    • Safety Warnings:
      • ⚠️ Warning if max-pages > 1000 (may take hours)
      • ⚠️ Warning if max-pages < 10 (incomplete skill)
    • Files Fixed: src/skill_seekers/cli/doc_scraper.py, src/skill_seekers/cli/main.py
  • Issue #259 (Comment A): Version shows 2.7.0 instead of actual version (#259)

    • Root Cause: Hardcoded version string in main.py
    • Solution: Import __version__ from __init__.py dynamically
    • Impact: skill-seekers --version now shows correct version (2.7.2)
    • Files Fixed: src/skill_seekers/cli/main.py
  • Issue #259 (Comment B): PDF command shows empty "Error: " message (#259)

    • Root Cause: Exception handler didn't handle empty exception messages
    • Solution:
      • Improved exception handler to show exception type if message is empty
      • Added proper error handling with context-specific messages
      • Added traceback support in verbose mode
    • Impact: PDF errors now show clear messages like "Error: RuntimeError occurred" instead of just "Error: "
    • Files Fixed: src/skill_seekers/cli/main.py, src/skill_seekers/cli/pdf_scraper.py

Testing

  • Verified skill-seekers install --config react --dry-run works
  • Verified skill-seekers scrape https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation --max-pages 50 works
  • Verified skill-seekers --version shows "2.7.2"
  • Verified PDF errors show proper messages
  • All 202 tests passing

[2.7.1] - 2026-01-18

🚨 Critical Bug Fix - Config Download 404 Errors

This hotfix release resolves a critical bug causing 404 errors when downloading configs from the API.

Fixed

  • Critical: Config download 404 errors - Fixed bug where code was constructing download URLs manually instead of using the download_url field from the API response
    • Root Cause: Code was building f"{API_BASE_URL}/api/download/{config_name}.json" which failed when actual URLs differed (CDN URLs, version-specific paths)
    • Solution: Changed to use config_info.get("download_url") from API response in both MCP server implementations
    • Files Fixed:
      • src/skill_seekers/mcp/tools/source_tools.py (FastMCP server)
      • src/skill_seekers/mcp/server_legacy.py (Legacy server)
    • Impact: Fixes all config downloads from skillseekersweb.com API and private Git repositories
    • Reported By: User testing skill-seekers install --config godot --unlimited
    • Testing: All 15 source tools tests pass, all 8 fetch_config tests pass
