 ### Breaking
 
 ### Fixes
+
 - Security/Skills: escape user-controlled prompt, filename, and output-path values in `openai-image-gen` HTML gallery generation to prevent stored XSS in generated `index.html` output. (#12538) Thanks @CornBrother0x.
 - Security/OTEL: redact sensitive values (API keys, tokens, credential fields) from diagnostics-otel log bodies, log attributes, and error/reason span fields before OTLP export. (#12542) Thanks @brandonwise.
 - Providers/OpenRouter: remove conflicting top-level `reasoning_effort` when injecting nested `reasoning.effort`, preventing OpenRouter 400 payload-validation failures for reasoning models. (#24120) thanks @tenequm.
+- Skills/Python: add CI + pre-commit linting (`ruff`) and pytest discovery coverage for Python scripts/tests under `skills/`, including package test execution from repo root. Thanks @vincentkoc.
