crewAI 1.15.33 adds a skill search command, lets crewai run pass inputs to Python flows, and adds a --zip option to deploy create. The release also includes a set of bug fixes, including token usage reporting for LiteLLM tool-call and structured-output calls.

The release adds crewai skill search, which lists an organization's skills. crewai run now accepts --inputs for Python flows, and deploy create gained a --zip option that builds a zip from a commit and prints that commit.

Several fixes target LiteLLM, which now has its token usage reported for tool-call and structured-output calls. Other fixes let JSON crews load in crewai chat and against an older crewai-core, and keep deeply nested JSON as text in the run TUI on Python 3.12.

Login and CLI behavior also changed. Login now waits the full device-code lifetime and exits with status 1 on timeout, and crewai+ commands exit 1 when a login is required. Checkpoint callbacks that cannot be restored are now saved as null instead of breaking restore.

## Why it matters if you build agents

Teams that deploy flows from CI can use the new zip option instead of packaging code themselves. Anyone running LiteLLM-backed tools or JSON crews should check token counts and checkpoint restores after upgrading. Scripts that depend on crewai login exit codes should handle the new exit 1 on timeout.
