skillmds 1.0.17 → 1.0.18

 All notable changes to `skillmds` are documented here. Versions follow [semver](https://semver.org).
 
+## 1.0.18
+
+- **Cleaner tool output for agents.** `skillmd_search`, `skillmd_trending`, and `skillmd_recommend` no longer echo site-oriented fields (`avg_rating`, `rating_count`, `install_count`, `save_count`, `verified`, `type`, `owner_avatar`, `category_slug`, and the internal `confident` ranker flag). Results now carry just what an agent needs to pick a skill: slug, title, description, category, agents, repo stars, and the install snippet.
+- **Quality score no longer punishes ordinary skills.** The security flags (`reads_secrets`, `network_calls`, `executes_scripts`) are pattern matches against prose and code samples, not proof of anything unsafe — they now cost 2/1/5 points respectively (was 25/8/15), so a skill that merely documents an env var or a URL keeps its high score. Verified skills are floored at 85 (unless the content fails to parse). `skillmd_lint` passes a skill's verified status through to the score.
+
 ## 1.0.16
 
 - **Installs are no longer gated on verification.** Any skill installs directly — verified or not — with no flag, no prompt, and no second step, from both the CLI (`skillmd add`) and the MCP `skillmd_install` tool. Security flags (network_calls, executes_scripts, reads_secrets, docs_only) are still shown on the result as information, but never block. `--deny <flag>` remains available as an opt-in for anyone who wants to exclude a flag; `--allow-unverified` is now a no-op kept for backward compatibility.
