v1.5.0 — README polish + accumulated 1.4.x fixes
This release rolls together the README rewrite (1.5.0) plus the credibility/attribution fixes from 1.4.1 + 1.4.2 that were merged earlier today.
What changed since v1.4.0
1.5.0 — README polish (this release)
- Centered hero w/
for-the-badgestyle, deep-link nav - "30-second pitch" diagram, two-column category cards
- Quick start grouped by agent (Hermes / Claude Code / Cursor / custom)
- Conflicts table promoted to top-level
- New FAQ section (upstream authorship, why aggregator, what the quality score means, commercial use)
- Stats card with 5 useful metrics
- No claims changed; no skill content changed; no tooling changed
1.4.2 — Eliminate residual hyperbole
- Removed "4 industry experts contributing knowledge" + "424K+ combined stars" block from
docs/categories.md - Updated
skills/research/trending-repos-discovery/SKILL.mdso it stops teaching downstream agents to aggregate stars or label upstream authors as contributors CONTRIBUTING.mdnow distinguishes original vs aggregated rules; aggregated PRs requiresource_repo+source_url+source_licensefrontmatter.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.mdadds an attribution checklist incl. "I am not misrepresenting an upstream author as a contributor"
1.4.1 — License + attribution honesty
- LICENSE classifier fixed: GitHub was detecting
Other/NOASSERTION instead of MIT because the file mixed MIT text with an Attribution appendix. Replaced with clean SPDX MIT. - New
NOTICEfile with full third-party source/license table + non-affiliation disclaimer - README rewritten: dropped "curated by industry experts" framing, "424K+ combined stars" borrowed credibility, "production-tested in real projects", self-scored "Quality 86/100" badge, "Features Comparison" table vs unnamed others
