Skills Hub v0.8.0
Added
- Card and list views: My Skills can switch between responsive card and compact list layouts while preserving selection and filtering state.
- Collapsible desktop navigation: The sidebar can collapse to icon-only navigation, giving the workspace more room at smaller window sizes.
- Recognizable tool identities: Built-in AI coding tools use their product icons consistently across tool management, installation, and Skill sync status.
- Custom tool identity and sync modes: Custom tools support avatars and explicit automatic, symbolic link, Windows junction, or copy modes. Legacy configurations default to no avatar and automatic mode.
- Custom tool editing: Existing custom tools can update their name, avatar, global/project directories, and sync mode. Active targets migrate to the new directory or representation.
- Title bar update status: The app checks for updates after startup and shows an actionable icon when a new version is available, reusing the existing release notes and installation flow.
Changed
- Desktop UI redesign: My Skills, Explore, Tags, Tools, Updates, Settings, and installation flows now share a consistent desktop layout, spacing system, scrolling behavior, and responsive rules.
- Installation workflow: Online, Git repository, and local folder installation use a unified structure with visible tag, tool, scope, summary, and action areas.
- Skills Hub branding: Replaced the application logo and generated desktop icons with the new balanced Skills Hub mark for consistent use in the app, installer, and operating system launcher.
- Tool card action hierarchy: Custom tool cards keep enable/disable in the top-right corner and move edit/delete actions into a separate footer.
- GitHub project entry: The open-source project link moved to the GitHub & network settings section and opens in the system default browser.
- Skill card column sizing: Card view keeps a stable column width instead of stretching a single filtered result across the content area.
Fixed
- Startup loading overlay: Initial discovery of importable skills now runs silently in the background instead of briefly showing the “Installing Skills” dialog.
- Safe custom target migration: Directory and sync-mode changes protect shared physical targets and reject invalid configuration when a destination conflicts or migration fails.
- External link permission: Added a Tauri opener permission scoped to the Skills Hub repository, fixing the GitHub project page failing to open.
Windows Note: Windows SmartScreen may show a warning during installation. This is normal for unsigned executables. The application is safe to use.
macOS Note: macOS Gatekeeper workaround (only needed on some macOS versions): xattr -cr "/Applications/Skills Hub.app" (https://v2.tauri.app/distribute/#macos).
