 ### Added
 
+- Added `creative/bg_remover`, an offline background removal skill powered by rembg.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **`creative/bg_remover`**: Hardened the skill with cached rembg sessions, improved input and path validation, automatic output directory creation, and input size limits.
+
+- **Documentation**: README Stats section and live PyPI download badges (pepy / PyPI Stats dashboards, header `DLs ↓` total).
+
+### Added
+
 - **Tests**: `tests/test_registry_docs.py` — CI doc-drift guards that verify skill catalog, examples index, and agent-loops reference matrix stay in sync with the registry (#183).
 - **Documentation**: Cross-linked `tests/test_registry_docs.py` in `ai_native_workflow.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md` so contributors know doc-drift guards run in CI; added explicit PR checklist reminder in `CONTRIBUTING.md` (#193).
