caveman v1.8.2 fixes the curl|bash installer to install all skills without manual intervention. Updates resolve Gemini CLI compatibility issues and standardize the codex_hooks configuration key.

Why it matters: Installer now properly deploys all skills without interactive prompts; fixes Gemini extension compatibility and config key inconsistencies. Standard upgrade recommended.

Full changelog

Fixes

fix(install): curl|bash one-liner now actually installs skills (#370)
Upstream skills CLI rendered its interactive skill-picker TUI under
curl|bash (stdin not a TTY), got no selection, exited 0, and installed
nothing — while our installer cheerfully reported done. Now passes
--yes --all to both the per-provider call and the auto-detect fallback
so every detected agent gets all 7 caveman skills, no prompt required.
fix(gemini): strip stray YAML fences from commands/caveman-init.toml (#372, dup #326)
Gemini CLI's FileCommandLoader rejected the file with Failed to parse TOML
on extension install. Fences gone — extension loads cleanly.
fix(codex): rename codex_hooks → hooks in .codex/config.toml (#350)
Codex source confirms hooks is the canonical key; codex_hooks is a legacy
alias that emits a deprecation log on every session.

Upgrade

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman/main/install.sh | bash

Existing installs: re-run the same one-liner — idempotent, picks up the new flags.
