MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Breaking Changes: None (minor version)

Improvements:
- Merged PR #91: Replace generic "search" skill with enhanced "mem-search" skill
- Improved skill effectiveness from 67% to 100% (Anthropic standards)

- Increased concrete triggers from 44% to 85%
- Added 5+ unique identifiers and explicit exclusion patterns
- Comprehensive documentation reorganization (17 total files)

Technical Changes:
- New mem-search skill with system-specific naming
- Explicit temporal keywords ("previous sessions", "weeks/months ago")
- Technical anchors referencing FTS5 full-text index and typed observations
- Documentation moved from /context/ to /docs/context/
- Detailed technical architecture documentation added
- 12 operation guides + 2 principle directories
