* feat(skills)!: promote Skills Repository out of experimental
The registry-backed Skills Repository (crewai skill create/publish/
install/list, @org/name refs, global cache) is now mainline:
- CLI: `crewai skill ...` is a top-level group; the CREWAI_EXPERIMENTAL
gate and the now-empty `crewai experimental` group are removed.
- Runtime: registry.py, cache.py, and events.py move from
crewai.experimental.skills into crewai.skills next to the loader;
the require_experimental_skills() gate is gone.
crewai.experimental.skills remains as a deprecated re-export shim.
- Docs: concepts/skills now leads with the CLI workflow and documents
the create -> publish -> install lifecycle.
Linear: n/a (requested promotion)

* feat(skills): org-scoped publish only + docs in all languages
Skills are always scoped to the publishing organization, like tools:
drop the --public/--private flags from `crewai skill publish` and
always send is_public=False to the registry. CLI tests assert the flag
is rejected and the API never receives a public publish.
Translate the new CLI-first Quick Start and the create -> publish ->
install lifecycle section into ar, pt-BR, and ko concepts/skills docs.

* fix(skills): address review comments on the promotion PR
- Back-compat shim now aliases the old submodules in sys.modules so
`crewai.experimental.skills.registry/cache/events` imports (and patch
targets) resolve to the real crewai.skills modules, not just the
package-root re-exports.
- `crewai skill publish` actually enforces the git-state check that
--force claims to skip: unsynced repos block publishing (mirroring
tool publish); standalone skill dirs outside any git repo publish
without a check.
- Explicit UTF-8 encoding on SKILL.md and cache-metadata reads/writes.

* fix(skills): fail closed when git state cannot be validated on publish
Follow deploy's pattern: construct git.Repository(fetch=False) and only
treat "not a Git repository" as skippable — any other git error
(fetch/auth/misconfiguration) now blocks publish with a --force escape
hatch instead of silently bypassing the sync check.
Also single-style imports in the shim test (CodeQL) with the dotted
shim import covered via importlib.

* fix(skills): fetch before sync check on publish; bump mcp past advisories
Publish now refreshes remote-tracking refs (repository.fetch()) before
is_synced(), so ahead/behind is judged against the actual remote rather
than stale local refs; a failing fetch blocks publish with the --force
escape hatch. Adds a fail-closed test for fetch errors.
Raise mcp to >=1.28.1,<2 (locks 1.28.1): the ~=1.26.0 pin blocked
GHSA-hvrp-rf83-w775 / GHSA-jpw9-pfvf-9f58 (fixed 1.27.2) and
GHSA-vj7q-gjh5-988w (fixed 1.28.1), which were failing pip-audit on
this PR.

Moves the registry/cache pieces of PR #5867 under crewai.experimental.skills
and the CLI commands under `crewai experimental skill`. The stable local-file
skills feature (loader, parser, validation, models) stays in crewai.skills.
Both entry points now require CREWAI_EXPERIMENTAL=1:
- resolve_registry_ref() calls require_experimental_skills() before resolving
- The `crewai experimental` CLI group raises UsageError when the flag is unset
SkillDownloadStarted/CompletedEvent move out of crewai.events.types.skill_events
into crewai.experimental.skills.events.
* refactor(skills): move 'version' off SkillFrontmatter into metadata
The skill version is now stored as `metadata.version` rather than a
top-level field on `SkillFrontmatter`. A `before` validator lifts any
top-level YAML `version:` into `metadata['version']` so existing SKILL.md
files keep parsing.
* feat: add Skills Repository — registry, cache, CLI, and SDK integration
Adds a Skills Repository feature allowing users to publish, install,
and use skills from the CrewAI registry with @org/skill-name refs.
## What's New
### SDK (lib/crewai/)
- SkillFrontmatter: added optional 'version' field (backward compatible)
- SkillCacheManager: manages ~/.crewai/skills/{org}/{name}/ with
.crewai_meta.json tracking, path-traversal-safe tar extraction
- SkillRegistry: parse @org/skill-name refs, local-first resolution
(./skills/ > cache > download), interactive prompt on first use,
CI-mode guard (CREWAI_NONINTERACTIVE/CI env vars)
- Agent.skills and Crew.skills widened to accept str refs (@org/name)
- set_skills() resolves registry refs with org-prefixed dedup keys
- New events: SkillDownloadStartedEvent, SkillDownloadCompletedEvent
### CLI (lib/cli/)
- crewai skill create <name> — context-aware (project vs standalone)
- crewai skill install @org/name — downloads to ./skills/ or cache
- crewai skill publish — ZIP + upload to org registry
- crewai skill list — show installed skills
### PlusAPI (lib/crewai-core/)
- Added SKILLS_RESOURCE, get_skill(), publish_skill(), list_skills()
### Scaffolding
- crew and flow templates now include skills/ directory
### Tests
- 91 SDK skill tests + 15 CLI skill tests, all passing
* fix: address all CI failures and CodeRabbit review comments
Lint:
- Remove unused imports (click, pytest, json)
- Replace try-except-pass with logging (S110)
- Fix unprotected zipfile.extractall (S202)
Security:
- Path traversal: startswith → is_relative_to for tar extraction
- Add path traversal protection to ZIP extraction via _safe_extract_zip
- Both cache.py and CLI main.py hardened
Type checker:
- Fix import path: crewai.events.event_bus (not crewai_event_bus)
- Remove unused type: ignore comments
- Fix type mismatches in set_skills() variable types
Code quality:
- Fix f-string interpolation in SkillNotCachedError
- Use ValidationError instead of Exception in test
* style: ruff format + autofix remaining lint errors
* refactor: reuse SDK parser and SkillCacheManager in CLI
- _parse_frontmatter() now delegates to crewai.skills.parser.parse_frontmatter
when available, with a minimal fallback for CLI-only installs
- install() global cache path now reuses SkillCacheManager.store() instead
of duplicating metadata writing logic
* refactor: add _print_current_organization to SkillCommand (matches ToolCommand pattern)
* fix: write .crewai_meta.json in fallback install path
CodeRabbit caught that the ImportError fallback in install() didn't write
cache metadata, making skills invisible to 'crewai skill list'.
* fix: tighten @org/name ref validation to prevent path traversal
Reject refs with multiple slashes (@org/a/b), dot segments (@../skill),
or leading dots in org/name. Applied to both CLI install() and SDK
parse_registry_ref() so the contract is enforced consistently.
* fix: update test assertions to match tightened error messages
* fix: align OSS client with AMP API contract
- download_skill(): fetch download_url (presigned URL) instead of
expecting inline base64. Falls back to 'file' field for compat.
- Read 'latest_version' field, fall back to 'version'
- Same fixes applied to CLI install() command
* fix: publish as tar.gz (matches AMP content_type validation) + add zip fallback to SDK cache
CLI publish:
- _build_skill_zip → _build_skill_tarball (tar.gz format)
- Content type: application/x-gzip (matches SkillVersion validation)
SDK cache:
- store() now tries tar.gz first, falls back to zip extraction
- Added _safe_extract_zip for path-traversal-safe zip handling
- Both formats work for download/install regardless of server format
