v2.6.0

Highlights

• Work with MotherDuck CLI files and reusable business context through dedicated CLI and Guides skills. #50
• Load shorter, more focused instructions: discovery descriptions are 64% shorter, and examples and structured-output contracts are loaded only when needed. #51

Features

• Add motherduck-cli and motherduck-manage-guides, bringing the catalog to 22 skills. #50
• Expand guidance for role-granted Shares, table-level filtering, Dive lifecycle and embedding, and Flight configuration and execution. #50

Bug Fixes

• Fix installation instructions to use npx -y skills without the unavailable global installer, and document the current Node.js 22.20+ requirement. #52

Maintenance

• Reuse established connection and schema context, preserve existing designs during scoped edits, and make validation proportional to the requested work. #51
• Consolidate the README into one installation section and one complete catalog, with detailed operations in the install guide. #52

Tooling and Release

• Add release-note drift auditing and product-contract validation; synchronize version 2.6.0 across the supported plugin and extension packages. #50
• Remove obsolete validator requirements for a fixed skill-routing sequence and the unavailable installer package. #51, #52

Compatibility

• Existing skill names remain available, and explicitly requested structured JSON keeps the same five top-level keys. Shared instructions remain model-neutral. #51
• The Skills CLI installation route requires Node.js 22.20+; native plugin and extension routes use their host requirements. #52

Verification

• The skill refresh passed six Astra use-case evaluations, six TypeScript artifacts, and the MotherDuck-backed examples and dlt/dbt reference pipeline. #51
• The release target passed hosted catalog and package validation; local release checks also passed version consistency, both plugin sync checks, manifest validation, 1,047 snippets, and Gemini archive generation. Main CI
