 # Changelog
 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- **S3/Object storage support**: Connect to LanceDB on S3, GCS, Azure Blob, or HDFS via `lancedb.uri` and `storage_options` config. Supports S3-compatible stores (MinIO, Tigris) with custom endpoints.
+- **Remote skill generation**: `create-skill` now supports remote databases — omit `--db` and provide `--config-file` to generate skills that connect to object storage at runtime instead of bundling the database.

-Authentication is handled through standard cloud provider credentials (AWS CLI, Azure CLI, gcloud, etc.) or by setting `api_key` for LanceDB Cloud.
+- **LanceDB Cloud** (`db://`): Requires `api_key` and `region`. Table optimization and indexing are managed server-side.
+- **Object storage** (`s3://`, `gs://`, `az://`, `hdfs://`): Uses `storage_options` for credentials and endpoint configuration. Authentication can also be provided via environment variables (`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, etc.) or cloud provider SDK defaults (AWS CLI, Azure CLI, gcloud).
+- **S3-compatible stores** (MinIO, Tigris, etc.): Set `endpoint` in `storage_options`. When using `http://` endpoints, also set `allow_http: "true"`.
 
-**Note:** Table optimization is automatically handled by LanceDB Cloud (`db://` URIs) and is disabled for better performance. For object storage backends (S3, Azure, GCS), optimization is still performed locally.
+The `storage_options` keys are case-insensitive and passed directly to the underlying object store library. Available keys depend on the backend — see the [LanceDB storage docs](https://lancedb.com/docs/storage/) for details.
