 All notable changes to UKit are documented here.
 
+## 2.0.0 - 2026-08-10
+
+### Added
+
+- **`skill-quality` skill** (maintainer-only) — adversarial pressure-testing process for template skills/agents before shipping changes, with `pressure-scenario-template.md`, `rationalization-table-template.md`, and `trigger-accuracy-template.md` companion files, plus `scripts/skill/audit-skill.mjs` (`yarn skill:audit`) for scaffolding scenario files and recording results. Not a `ukit` CLI command — a maintainer dev-tool, same tier as `yarn bug:triage`.
+- **`executing-plans` Preflight checklist + Blocker Classifier** — structured pre-execution checks and a formal blocker taxonomy, replacing an unstructured "When to Stop" bullet list.
+- **`handoff-planner` Scope Explosion Detector + Right-Sizing rule** — flags oversized multi-subsystem handoff requests and enforces task-granularity limits, on top of the existing wave-dependency logic.
+- **`RULES.md` / task template Interfaces block** — `Consumes`/`Produces` fields for explicit task-to-task data contracts in handoff cycles.
+- **`code-reviewer` agent generalized** with a `REVIEW_TARGET_TYPE` branch (`code` / `spec`), so it can review non-diff artifacts (e.g. specs) in addition to code diffs.
+- **`skillProfile.js` + `ukit doctor --skills`** — word-count budget report for every `templates/.claude/skills/*/SKILL.md`, flagging files over a 500-word default threshold.
+- **Project Pattern Learning** — schema + `ukit memory list --pending` / `approve` / `reject` CLI surface for proposing and confirming project-local conventions, gated on human approval (never auto-applied, project-local scope only).
+- **`project-learning` skill** — guides proposing/confirming project conventions through the new pattern-learning CLI.
+- Wired the previously dead `runHygiene()` (decision-superseding + session consolidation) into the live memory flow instead of leaving it uncalled.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Trimmed `templates/.claude/skills/**/SKILL.md` word count 31,227 → 25,900 words (17%) via companion-file extraction and in-place deduplication, with zero behavior loss (content relocated to companion `.md` files, never deleted, except one verbatim-duplicate line removed from `duraone`). See `docs/WORKLOG.md` Task 13 entry for the full per-skill breakdown.
+- Deleted 3 orphaned barrel `index.js` re-export files (`src/core/router/index.js`, `src/core/validation/index.js`, `src/core/memory/index.js`) with zero importers anywhere in the repo.
+- Raised the packed-artifact size budget in `tests/integration/packageArtifact.test.js` (`1,680,000` → `1,684,000` bytes packed, `5,283,000` → `5,291,000` bytes unpacked) — the artifact is dominated by binary assets (canvas fonts, OOXML XSD schemas) that skill-text trimming can't reduce.
