## [Unreleased]

## [6.51.0] - 2026-05-20

Bulk skills-marketplace expansion: 40 marketing skills from the canonical
`coreyhaines31/marketingskills` repo (29.6k★ upstream, MIT). Active
`skills_pins` count jumps `23 → 61` — the largest single skills shipment
since `v6.44.0`.

### Added

- **38 new marketing skills** mirrored from
[`coreyhaines31/marketingskills`](https://github.com/coreyhaines31/marketingskills)
at upstream commit `114587831efbe7ac5c0a86afcb69e9cca6f728ce`:
`ab-testing`, `ad-creative`, `ads`, `ai-seo`, `analytics`, `aso`,
`churn-prevention`, `co-marketing`, `cold-email`, `community-marketing`,
`competitor-profiling`, `competitors`, `content-strategy`, `copy-editing`,
`cro`, `customer-research`, `directory-submissions`, `emails`,
`free-tools`, `image`, `launch`, `lead-magnets`, `marketing-ideas`,
`marketing-psychology`, `onboarding`, `paywalls`, `popups`, `pricing`,
`product-marketing`, `programmatic-seo`, `referrals`, `revops`,
`sales-enablement`, `schema`, `signup`, `site-architecture`, `social`,
`video`.
- Each skill mirror includes its full `references/*.md` + `evals/evals.json`
layout (not just `SKILL.md`).
- 38 new entries in `manifest.json:skills_pins` (sha256-pinned with
reproducible `scripts/lib/skill-checksum.sh` hashing).
- 38 new entries in `files.skills_marketplace` so the skills install via
`init-claude.sh` / `update-claude.sh`.

### Migrated

- **`copywriting` skill** — upstream source migrated from the
`mysticaltech/marketingskills` downstream fork (246★) to the canonical
`coreyhaines31/marketingskills` upstream (29.6k★). Mirror content
refreshed; sha256 updated.
- **`seo-audit` skill** — same migration as above. The two repos diverged
in content over time; this release re-anchors on the canonical source.

The existing `ab-test-setup` and `analytics-tracking` pins keep their
`mysticaltech/marketingskills` source — the corresponding `coreyhaines31`
skills are pinned under different names (`ab-testing`, `analytics`)
because mysticaltech renamed them during its fork. Both variants coexist
intentionally.

### Why

- `coreyhaines31/marketingskills` is the canonical upstream (29.6k★, MIT,
active development). The `mysticaltech` fork was used during v6.44.0
because its README advertised "pre-built `.skill` files for easy
installation"; subsequent inspection showed that no `.skill` packaging
benefit applies inside the toolkit's mirror model (we ship the raw
`SKILL.md` + `references/*` tree). Re-anchoring on the upstream gives:
- direct drift tracking against the source of truth
- access to upstream's full skill catalog (40 vs mysticaltech's 25)
- first-class compatibility with future `references/` schema changes
- The 38 new skills fill major gaps in the toolkit's solo-developer
marketing surface: CRO (popups, paywalls, signup, onboarding), content
(content-strategy, programmatic-seo, ai-seo, schema), acquisition
(ads, cold-email, directory-submissions, free-tools), monetization
(pricing, paywalls), retention (churn-prevention, emails, referrals),
research (customer-research, competitor-profiling, competitors,
marketing-psychology).

### Files changed

- New: 38 mirror dirs under `templates/skills-marketplace/<skill>/` plus
refreshed `copywriting/` and `seo-audit/` (157 total files across the
40 skill dirs).
- Updated: `manifest.json` — version `6.50.0` → `6.51.0`, 38 new
`skills_pins` entries, 2 migrated `skills_pins` entries
(`copywriting`, `seo-audit`), 40 new `files.skills_marketplace`
entries, `skills_pins_note` count `22 → 61 active`.
- Updated: 9 installer scripts — `TK_TOOLKIT_REF` bumped to `v6.51.0`.
- Regenerated: `templates/skills-catalog.json` (`23 → 61` entries).

### Upgrade path

- End users: `/update-toolkit` pulls all 38 new skill mirrors + the
refreshed `copywriting` + `seo-audit` content. Skills appear in
Claude's skills discovery surface immediately.
- The mirror size grows by ~5 MB (skills-marketplace was ~1.5 MB, now
~6.7 MB). Update time may be ~2x longer than usual on slow networks.

### Compatibility

- **No breaking changes** on the manifest schema or the
`skills_marketplace` install path.
- **Soft breaking on content** for users who depended on the exact
prior `copywriting` or `seo-audit` text — the canonical-upstream
content differs from the mysticaltech version. Behavior remains
semantically equivalent (both fork lineages share the same
`coreyhaines31` ancestor).
