+# Search: Recommended Projects
+
+## Summary
+
+Adds `search +recommend`, which lists the platform's recommended / featured
+projects. This wraps `GET /api/projects/recommend`, a discovery endpoint that
+previously had no shortcut coverage.
+
+## Command
+
+| Command | Purpose | Endpoint |
+|---------|---------|----------|
+| `gitlink-cli search +recommend` | List recommended/featured projects | `GET /projects/recommend` |
+
+Each item includes `id`, `identifier`, `name`, `visits`, `author`
+(`name`/`login`/`image_url`) and `category`.
+
+## Behaviour
+
+- Takes no arguments. Honors the global `--format` (json/table/yaml).
+- The endpoint returns a bare JSON array; the command normalizes it into
+  structured data so the output is clean (not an escaped JSON string).
+
+## Tests
+
+Unit tests cover the endpoint path, the bare-array normalization, and HTTP
+error handling.
+
+## 中文说明
+
+### 变更内容
+
+- 新增 `search +recommend`，列出平台推荐/精选项目，封装此前无 shortcut 的
+  `GET /api/projects/recommend`。
+- 无需参数，遵循全局 `--format`；对该接口返回的裸 JSON 数组做结构化归一，输出整洁。
+
+### 价值
+
+为项目发现提供入口（科研选题/技术调研时可快速看到平台精选项目），补全 Raw API 封装。
