[GitHub release](https://github.com/outfitter-dev/skillset/releases/tag/v0.17.0) · [Package changelog](https://github.com/outfitter-dev/skillset/blob/24800e02ed4e7150ea1bc7130c35603c98ea9da2/apps/skillset/CHANGELOG.md)

## Publication

Published skillset@0.17.0 to npm with dist-tag `latest`.

## Changes

### Minor Changes

- ecef9d2: Consolidate source diagnostics, generated-output verification, and CI readiness under `skillset check`, with explicit local write, narrow output, and CI modes. Remove the former top-level `lint`, `verify`, and `ci` commands without compatibility aliases.
- dd6dda7: Replace `doctor` with read-only workspace `status`, move feature capability inspection to `lookup features [id]`, and remove the former top-level commands without aliases.
- acb2b3e: Remove maintainer-only provider evidence maintenance from the shipped CLI and expose it only through repository-owned `providers:check`, `providers:diff`, and `providers:update` scripts.
- cd673c3: Complete the pre-1.0 CLI hard cut across runtime flags, hooks, active documentation, fixtures, and generated Skillset guidance. Bare `dev` now watches in preview mode and `dev --write` enables continuous writes; retired commands, flags, and environment vocabulary are guarded from maintained surfaces.
- 9a2b2f0: Emit versioned structured results for plan-first and mutating CLI routes, with explicit planned versus written state and actual write paths without changing confirmation authority.
- ab72e72: Replace `suggest-source` with a two-direction `reconcile` workflow that previews managed conflicts and applies an explicit source-wins or output-wins plan with one confirmation.
- 208480e: Add validated JSONL event streams for `skillset dev` and align retained runtime-test events with the same versioned event contract.
- 05f49cd: Unify setup and adoption behind `skillset init`, and remove the `create`, `adopt`, and `create-skillset` public entrypoints before 1.0.
- 685ddf8: Unify declared and ad hoc provider runs under `skillset test`, move retained ad hoc evidence beneath `.skillset/cache/tests/ad-hoc`, rename runtime overrides to `SKILLSET_TEST_*`, and remove top-level `try` without aliases.

### Patch Changes

- a279660: Add versioned finite-result and event schemas plus the CLI entrypoint kernel for structured automation failures.
- ae124e9: Return versioned structured results from finite read-only CLI routes when `--json` is selected.
- f810217: Clarify that `skillset update` owns only registered source-preserving provider-format migrations and refuses ordinary source-driven drift.
