This release introduces the Intent-Driven Development (IDD) framework into the core workflow, significantly enhancing architectural context and knowledge traversal. It also implements automated cross-document wikilinks for better Obsidian graphing and knowledge management.
- New Skill:
/idd: Transform fuzzy ideas into structured IDD artifacts (Product, Intention, Expectation, Boundaries) and seed Beads with explicit context. - IDD-Enhanced Planning: Implementation plans now include explicit "Intention," "Expectations," and "Boundaries" sections to ground technical strategy.
- Chain of Knowledge: All Obsidian artifacts are now automatically threaded with wikilinks, creating a verifiable record from idea to implementation.
- Workflow Refinement: Streamlined the refinement command to
/iddand standardized the "References" section across all skill templates.
This release introduces significant enhancements to the refinement workflow, specialized sub-agents, and a new 'pr-comments' skill for automated PR management.
- Refinement Constraints: Mandatory LLM-driven Obsidian records and restricted PM sub-agent behavior.
- New Skill: Added 'pr-comments' skill for efficient PR handling.
- Specialized Agents: Introduced a suite of pro and reviewer sub-agents across multiple languages.
- Reliability: Critical fixes for project hooks (path traversal, JSON injection, latency).
This patch release refines the ticket tracking workflow by migrating to the dedicated bd close command and the "closed" status across all core documentation and skill-based workflows.
- Workflow Refinement: Migrated from the legacy
bd update --status donecommand to the specializedbd closecommand for cleaner task completion. - Status Consistency: Replaced all references to 'done' status with 'closed' terminology to align with the latest Beads CLI patterns.
- Project Mandates: Updated
GEMINI.mdand bothbugfixandimplementskills to reflect the new closure requirements.
This patch release refactors the extension's hook configuration to use a structured, event-based hierarchy and introduces ${extensionPath} resolution for reliable script execution across environments.
- Structured Hooks: Migrated
hooks.jsonto a more scalable schema organized by lifecycle events (BeforeTool,SessionStart,SessionEnd). - Dynamic Path Resolution: Implemented
${extensionPath}for hook commands to ensure guardrail scripts are correctly resolved regardless of the installation context.
This release introduces the plan-review skill for cross-platform plan refinement and standardizes task tracking and research methodologies across the agent fleet. It also enhances workflow documentation with additional guardrail hooks and renames the code-review skill to review for better consistency.
- Plan Review Skill: Added the
/plan-reviewcommand to refine implementation plans across multiple sessions. - Methodology Standardization: Standardized agent research and task tracking methodologies to ensure consistency.
- Skill Refinement: Renamed
code-reviewtoreviewand resolved minor typos in thecompoundskill.
- Workflow Guardrails: Enhanced workflow documentation and defined new guardrail hooks to prevent process errors.
This release significantly enhances the refinement and knowledge management workflows. It consolidates the /epic and /story commands into a single /refine command, introduces the /adr command for Architectural Decision Records, and strictly enforces that all planning and analysis artifacts be stored in Obsidian. It also improves the /compound skill with a multi-stage retrospective to better capture lessons learned.
- Consolidated Refinement: Replaced
/epicand/storywith a unified/refinecommand. - Architectural Decision Records: Added the
/adrcommand andadr-writerskill to capture key technical decisions. - Obsidian-Only Artifacts: Enforced a strict guardrail requiring all planning and analysis reports to be stored in the Obsidian vault.
- Enhanced Retrospectives: Improved the
/compoundskill with a multi-stage review process (Requirements vs Strategy vs Execution). - Command Rename: Renamed
/code-reviewto/reviewto avoid conflicts with other extensions.
- Agent File Operations: Agents are now permitted to write and edit files as part of their standard operations, adhering to project-specific guardrails.
This release standardizes artifact storage paths across all core skills, providing a consistent and predictable directory structure for project-specific working files (reports, summaries, logs).
- Standardized Artifact Paths: Introduced consistent path logic for
bugfix,code-review,implement, andrefactorskills.
This release introduces automated version management and enhances the commit workflow with interactive staging for mixed changes. It also significantly hardens the workflow documentation with new guardrails for branching and merging, ensuring a more robust and standardized process.
- Automated Version Bumping: The release skill now automates version bumping across project files.
- Interactive Staging: The commit skill now enforces interactive staging when dealing with mixed changes to ensure precision.
- Workflow Guardrails: Implemented 'merge before close' and trunk branch protections to prevent process errors.
- Standardization: Enforced YAML frontmatter for knowledge artifacts and standardized the Obsidian vault directory structure.
- Consistency Fixes: Resolved various inconsistencies and numbering gaps across skill instructions.
This release focuses on workflow flexibility and streamlining the branching strategy. It improves the branching logic and removes rigid constraints on release authoring.
- Smart Branching Strategy: Implemented an improved strategy for branch management to better handle concurrent workstreams.
- Flexible Release Workflow: Removed the mandatory branch creation requirement for the
releaseskill, allowing for more direct execution on the current branch.
