Release v2.4.2

- Check for @pytest.mark.integration marker
- Check if test file is in integration/ directory
- This prevents conftest from overriding real API keys with 'test-key'

+  --conversation-url postgresql://localhost:5432/praisonai \
+  --state-url redis://localhost:6379
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Instead of CLI flags, you can use environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export PRAISON_CONVERSATION_URL=postgresql://localhost:5432/praisonai
+export PRAISON_STATE_URL=redis://localhost:6379
+export PRAISON_KNOWLEDGE_URL=http://localhost:6333
+
+# Then run without URL flags
+praisonai persistence doctor
+praisonai persistence status
+```
+
+## Docker Setup
+
+```bash
+# Start all services
+docker run -d --name praison-postgres \
+  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=praison123 \
+  -e POSTGRES_DB=praisonai \
+  -p 5432:5432 postgres:16
+
+docker run -d --name praison-redis \
+  -p 6379:6379 redis:7
+
+docker run -d --name praison-qdrant \
+  -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 qdrant/qdrant
+
+# Verify
+docker ps
+```
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+```bash
+# 1. Start services
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# 2. Check connectivity
+praisonai persistence doctor
+
+# 3. Run agent
+praisonai persistence run --session-id demo-session
+
+# 4. Export for backup
+praisonai persistence export --session-id demo-session --output backup.jsonl
+
+# 5. Import to another environment
+praisonai persistence import --file backup.jsonl

+# PraisonAI Persistence CLI - End-to-End Guide
+
+This guide demonstrates the CLI commands for database persistence.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+```bash
+pip install "praisonai[tools]"
+
+# Start Docker containers
+docker run -d --name praison-postgres -p 5432:5432 \
+    -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=praison123 \
+    -e POSTGRES_DB=praisonai \
+    postgres:16
+
+docker run -d --name praison-qdrant -p 6333:6333 qdrant/qdrant
+docker run -d --name praison-redis -p 6379:6379 redis:7
+```
+
+## 1. Doctor Command - Validate Connectivity
+
+```bash
+# Check all stores
+praisonai persistence doctor \
+    --conversation-url "postgresql://postgres:praison123@localhost:5432/praisonai" \
+    --knowledge-url "http://localhost:6333" \
+    --state-url "redis://localhost:6379"
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+==================================================
+PraisonAI Persistence Doctor
+==================================================
+
+[Conversation Store] Testing: postgresql://postgres:****@localhost:5432/praisonai
+  ✅ Connected (postgres)
+
+[Knowledge Store] Testing: http://localhost:6333
+  ✅ Connected (qdrant)
+
+[State Store] Testing: redis://localhost:6379
+  ✅ Connected (redis)
+
+==================================================
+Results: 3/3 stores connected successfully
+==================================================
+```
+
+## 2. Run Command - Execute Agent with Persistence
+
+```bash
+# Run agent with persistence (dry-run first)
+praisonai persistence run \
+    --session-id "cli-demo-001" \
+    --conversation-url "postgresql://postgres:praison123@localhost:5432/praisonai" \
+    --dry-run \
+    "Hello, my name is Bob"
+
+# Actually run it
+praisonai persistence run \
+    --session-id "cli-demo-001" \
+    --conversation-url "postgresql://postgres:praison123@localhost:5432/praisonai" \
+    "Hello, my name is Bob"
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+[Session: cli-demo-001]
+Agent: Hello Bob! Nice to meet you. How can I help you today?
+```
+
+## 3. Resume Command - Continue a Session
+
+```bash
+# Show history
+praisonai persistence resume \
+    --session-id "cli-demo-001" \
+    --conversation-url "postgresql://postgres:praison123@localhost:5432/praisonai" \
+    --show-history
+
+# Continue conversation
+praisonai persistence resume \
+    --session-id "cli-demo-001" \
+    --conversation-url "postgresql://postgres:praison123@localhost:5432/praisonai" \
+    --continue "What's my name?"
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+[Session: cli-demo-001]
+Messages in history: 2
+
+--- Conversation History ---
+[USER] Hello, my name is Bob
+[ASSISTANT] Hello Bob! Nice to meet you...
+--- End History ---
+
+Agent: Your name is Bob!
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Instead of passing URLs on command line, use environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export PRAISON_CONVERSATION_URL="postgresql://postgres:praison123@localhost:5432/praisonai"
+export PRAISON_KNOWLEDGE_URL="http://localhost:6333"
+export PRAISON_STATE_URL="redis://localhost:6379"
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"
+
+# Now commands are simpler
+praisonai persistence doctor --all
+praisonai persistence run --session-id "my-session" "Hello!"
+```

+This skill enables thorough code review with focus on:
+- Code quality and readability
+- Potential bugs and edge cases
+- Performance considerations
+- Security vulnerabilities
+- Best practices adherence
+
+## Instructions
+
+When reviewing code:
+
+1. **Read the code carefully** - Understand the purpose and flow
+2. **Check for bugs** - Look for null checks, edge cases, error handling
+3. **Evaluate readability** - Variable names, comments, structure
+4. **Consider performance** - Time/space complexity, unnecessary operations
+5. **Security review** - Input validation, injection risks, data exposure
+6. **Suggest improvements** - Provide actionable recommendations
+
+## Output Format
+
+Structure your review as:
+- Summary: Brief overview of the code
+- Issues: List of problems found (severity: high/medium/low)
+- Suggestions: Recommended improvements
+- Positive aspects: What's done well

+# PDF Processing Skill
+
+## Overview
+
+This skill enables agents to process PDF documents, extract text content, and analyze the information within them.
+
+## When to Use
+
+Activate this skill when:
+- User asks to read or analyze a PDF file
+- User needs to extract text from a PDF
+- User wants to summarize a PDF document
+- User needs to search for information within a PDF
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. First, verify the PDF file exists at the specified path
+2. Use appropriate tools to read the PDF content
+3. Extract text while preserving structure where possible
+4. For large PDFs, process in chunks to manage context
+5. Summarize or analyze based on user's specific request
+
+## Best Practices
+
+- Always confirm the file path before processing
+- Handle encrypted PDFs gracefully with appropriate error messages
+- For scanned PDFs, note that OCR may be required
+- Preserve important formatting like tables and lists

+PraisonAI Agents - Comprehensive Performance Benchmark
+======================================================================
+
+This benchmark measures:
+  1. Agent instantiation time (how fast an agent object is created)
+  2. Memory footprint (how much memory an agent uses)
+
+Methodology:
+  - 10 warmup runs (not measured)
+  - 1000 measured iterations
+  - tracemalloc for memory measurement
+  - Baseline subtraction for accuracy
+
+Frameworks available:
+  - PraisonAI: ✅
+  - Agno: ✅
+  - PydanticAI: ✅
+  - OpenAI Agents SDK: ✅
+  - LangGraph: ✅
+  - CrewAI: ✅

+Checkpoints Module for PraisonAI Agents.
+
+Provides file-level checkpointing using a shadow git repository to track
+and restore file changes made by agents. This enables:
+
+- Automatic checkpointing before file modifications
+- Rewind to any previous checkpoint
+- Diff between checkpoints
+- Restore files and conversation state together
+
+Zero Performance Impact:
+- All imports are lazy loaded via __getattr__
+- Checkpoints only created when enabled
+- No overhead when checkpoints are disabled
+
+Usage:

+    # Create checkpoint service
+    service = CheckpointService(
+        workspace_dir="/path/to/project",
