 - **feat(combo):** add an option to **disable session stickiness**, per-combo or globally — round-robin / random combos can rotate to a different connection on every request instead of pinning a whole conversation to one connection by its first-message hash. Resolution precedence per-combo `config.disableSessionStickiness` → global `settings.disableSessionStickiness` → default `false` (preserves the #3825 prompt-cache/504 fix); gates **both** stickiness call sites in `open-sse/services/combo.ts`. Exposed as a global toggle (Combo Defaults) and a per-combo Inherit/on/off control. ([#6168](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6168)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/combo-disable-session-stickiness.test.ts`. (thanks @RCrushMe)
 - **feat(docker):** add the `OMNIROUTE_NO_SUDO` env flag for root-less / user-namespaced deployments — the MITM cert-trust command path (`resolveSudoSpawn` in `src/mitm/systemCommands.ts`) now strips the leading `sudo` when the flag is truthy, in addition to the existing root / sudo-missing cases, so the Proxy Agent runs without `sudo` (the operator trusts the CA manually, e.g. via `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`). Argv-array `spawn` preserved — no shell interpolation (Hard Rule #13). ([#6122](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6122)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/mitm-systemCommands-no-sudo.test.ts`. (thanks @powellnorma)
 - **feat(providers):** add **Requesty** as an OpenAI-compatible gateway provider (BYOK, base `https://router.requesty.ai/v1`, ~200 free requests/day) — wired through the shared OpenAI-compatible registry with full model passthrough (`open-sse/config/providers/registry/requesty/`, `src/shared/constants/providers/apikey/gateways.ts`). ([#6120](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/issues/6120)) Regression guard: `tests/unit/requesty-provider.test.ts`. (thanks @chirag127)
+- **feat(skills):** add a **GitHub skill-discovery** subsystem — search/score/scan/import agent skills from public GitHub repos that ship `SKILL.md` / `CLAUDE.md` / `.cursorrules` files, exposed as MCP tools (`omniroute_github_skills_search`/`scan`/`install`, gated behind `read:skills`/`write:skills` scopes) and a `GET/POST /api/github-skills` route (host-pinned to `api.github.com`, `encodeURIComponent`-escaped, error bodies sanitized). Registers `omni-github-skills` in the agent-skills catalog. Regression guards: `tests/unit/github-collector.test.ts` + the agent-skills catalog/routes/generator/mcp count suites. ([#6186](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/6186) — thanks @Moseyuh333)
