+# Platform Support Update - Changelog
+
+## v2.0.0 - Multi-Platform Support (2026-02-05)
+
+### 🎉 Major Features
+
+#### Automatic Platform Detection
+- **Auto-detect** current AI platform (Cursor, Codex, CodeBuddy, Claude, Anthropic)
+- **Smart fallback** to `~/.skills` when platform cannot be determined
+- **Environment variable detection** for reliable platform identification
+
+#### Simplified Installation
+- `targetDir` parameter is now **optional** (was required)
+- Just provide skill name: `{ "name": "@official/skill" }`
+- System automatically handles directory creation and placement
+
+#### Multi-Platform Support
+- **5 built-in platforms**: Cursor, Codex, CodeBuddy, Claude, Anthropic
+- **Platform-specific defaults**:
+  - Cursor: `~/.cursor/skills`
+  - Codex: `~/.codex/skills`
+  - CodeBuddy: `~/.codebuddy/skills`
+  - Claude: `~/.claude/skills`
+  - Anthropic: `~/.anthropic/skills`
+- **Generic fallback**: `~/.skills`
+
+#### Automatic Directory Creation
+- All directories created automatically if they don't exist
+- Nested subdirectories supported (scripts/, references/, etc.)
+- Proper permissions handling
+
+### 📝 API Changes
+
+#### `skills_install` Tool
+
+**Before:**
+```typescript
+{
+  name: string;      // Required
+  targetDir: string; // Required
+  version?: string;  // Optional
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```typescript
+{
+  name: string;       // Required
+  targetDir?: string; // Optional (auto-detected)
+  platform?: string;  // Optional (auto-detected)
+  version?: string;   // Optional
+}
+```
+
+#### New Parameters
+
+- **`platform`** (optional): Explicitly specify target platform
+  - Valid values: `"cursor"`, `"codex"`, `"codebuddy"`, `"claude"`, `"anthropic"`
+  - Auto-detected if omitted
+
+#### Modified Parameters
+
+- **`targetDir`** (optional): Custom installation directory
+  - Was: Required parameter
+  - Now: Optional, auto-detected if omitted
+  - Still accepts custom paths when specified
+
+### 🔄 Migration Guide
+
+#### No Breaking Changes
+
+Existing code continues to work:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Old code - still works
+await skills_install({
+  name: "@official/skill",
+  targetDir: "/custom/path"
+});
+
+// ✅ New code - simpler
+await skills_install({
+  name: "@official/skill"
+});
+```
+
+#### Recommended Updates
+
+For cleaner code, you can remove explicit `targetDir`:
+
+```typescript
+// Before
+{
+  "name": "@official/pdf-parser",
+  "targetDir": "/Users/george/.cursor/skills"
+}
+
+// After
+{
+  "name": "@official/pdf-parser"
+}
+```
+
+### 📖 Documentation Updates
+
+#### New Documents
+- ✨ `PLATFORM-SUPPORT.md` - Comprehensive platform support guide
+- 📚 Updated `README.md` - Reflects new auto-detection features
+- 📘 Updated `EXAMPLES.md` - Shows simplified usage patterns
+
+#### Updated Sections
+- Tool descriptions - Clarified optional parameters
+- Usage examples - Added auto-detection examples
+- Troubleshooting - Added platform-specific guidance
+- Best practices - Emphasized auto-detection
+
+### 🛠️ Technical Implementation
+
+#### New Functions
+```typescript
+detectPlatform(): string
+  - Detects current platform from environment
+  - Returns platform name or 'unknown'
+
+getDefaultSkillsDir(platform?: string): string
+  - Returns default directory for platform
+  - Handles ~ expansion and path resolution
+```
+
+#### New Constants
+```typescript
+PLATFORM_SKILLS_DIRS: Record<string, string>
+  - Maps platform names to default directories
+  - Used for auto-detection and resolution
+```
+
+#### Modified Functions
+```typescript
+handleInstall(storage, args)
+  - Now accepts optional targetDir
+  - Auto-detects platform when not specified
+  - Creates directories automatically
+  - Enhanced response with detection info
+```
+
+### 🎯 User Experience Improvements
+
+#### For AI Agents
+- ✅ Simpler tool calls - just provide skill name
+- ✅ No need to ask users for installation directory
+- ✅ Automatic platform detection reduces errors
+- ✅ Clear feedback about where skills were installed
+
+#### For End Users
+- ✅ Skills installed in correct platform location automatically
+- ✅ No manual directory creation needed
+- ✅ Clear indication of auto-detected platform
+- ✅ Works out-of-the-box on all supported platforms
+
+### 🧪 Testing Recommendations
+
+When testing this update:
+
+1. **Test auto-detection**:
+   ```json
+   { "name": "@official/test-skill" }
+   ```
+
+2. **Test platform override**:
+   ```json
+   { "name": "@official/test-skill", "platform": "cursor" }
+   ```
+
+3. **Test custom directory** (backward compatibility):
+   ```json
+   { "name": "@official/test-skill", "targetDir": "/custom/path" }
+   ```
+
+4. **Test with non-existent directories**:
+   - Verify automatic creation
+   - Check permissions
+
+5. **Test on multiple platforms**:
+   - Cursor, Codex, CodeBuddy, etc.
+   - Verify correct directory used
+
+### 📊 Impact Analysis
+
+#### Code Changes
+- **Modified files**: 3
+  - `src/index.ts` - Core implementation
+  - `README.md` - Documentation
+  - `EXAMPLES.md` - Usage examples

+### 🔮 Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements for future releases:
+
+1. **More platforms**:
+   - VSCode with Continue.dev
+   - JetBrains AI Assistant
+   - Aider
+   - Cody (Sourcegraph)
+
+2. **Smart detection**:
+   - Read platform config files
+   - Detect based on running processes
+   - User preference storage
+
+3. **Advanced features**:
+   - Multi-platform symlinks
+   - Skill migration between platforms
+   - Per-project skill directories
+   - Platform-specific skill variants
+
+### 🙏 Acknowledgments
+
+This feature was inspired by the need to support multiple AI agent platforms with different directory conventions, making skill installation seamless regardless of which platform users prefer.
+
+### 📞 Support
+
+If you encounter issues with platform detection:
+
+1. Check platform-specific troubleshooting in `PLATFORM-SUPPORT.md`
+2. Explicitly specify platform: `{ "platform": "cursor" }`
+3. Use custom directory: `{ "targetDir": "/custom/path" }`
+4. Report issues with platform details
