March 2026: Delivered reliability improvements and new skill distribution capabilities for tobi/qmd. Key outcomes include a critical bug fix to resolve symlinked global launcher paths so global installations locate the actual package directory, and a new Packaged QMD Skill Installation and Discovery feature with CLI commands to show and install packaged skills and to handle symlinks for global installations. These changes reduce installation failures, simplify skill distribution, and improve the developer and user experience when managing QMD skills.
