The plugin had hardcoded references to 'CORA' (Every's internal project)
throughout the documentation workflow, making it project-specific rather
than generic. This affected users trying to use the plugin on non-CORA
projects.
Changes:
- Replace 'cora-critical-patterns.md' with 'critical-patterns.md'
- Replace 'Which CORA module' with 'Which module or component'
- Replace 'CORA-Specific Resources' with 'Project-Specific Resources'
- Replace 'CORA-MODULES.md' with 'modules documentation'
- Replace 'CORA system' with 'System-wide' in templates
- Update cora-test-reviewer description to be generic
Files modified:
- learnings-researcher.md: Fixed critical patterns file reference
- compound-docs/SKILL.md: Removed module and filename hardcoding
- compound-docs/assets/*.md: Generalized template references
- workflows/compound.md: Changed 'CORA schema' to 'solution schema'
- workflows/work.md: Made test reviewer description generic
This makes the plugin truly project-agnostic as advertised.
* fix(compound-docs): correct severity enum in validation example
The example error message referenced [critical, moderate, minor] but
the yaml-schema.md defines severity as [critical, high, medium, low].
* refactor(agents): standardize search tool recommendations
- Update repo-research-analyst to recommend built-in Grep tool instead
of CLI rg (Grep uses ripgrep under the hood)
- Add TypeScript example for ast-grep alongside Ruby
- Update pattern-recognition-specialist to use built-in Grep tool
- Keep ast-grep for AST-based structural matching (language-specific)
* feat(agents): add learnings-researcher for institutional knowledge
Add new research agent that efficiently searches docs/solutions/ for
relevant past solutions before implementing features or fixing bugs.
Key features:
- Grep-first filtering strategy for efficiency with 100+ files
- Category-based narrowing to reduce search scope
- Parallel Grep calls with synonym support (OR patterns)
- Frontmatter-only reads before full document reads
- Always checks critical patterns file
- Uses haiku model for speed (structured task, recipe-based)
Integrates with /workflows:plan to run in parallel with
repo-research-analyst during local research phase.
Closes the loop on compound engineering: solutions documented via
/workflows:compound are now discoverable during planning.
Add deprecation/sunset checks to research agents before they recommend
external APIs, OAuth flows, or third-party services.
Changes:
- framework-docs-researcher: Added step 2 "Deprecation/Sunset Check"
and updated Quality Standards
- best-practices-researcher: Added Phase 1.5 "MANDATORY Deprecation Check"
This prevents wasted development time on deprecated APIs. For example,
Google Photos Library API scopes were deprecated in March 2025, and
without validation, developers can spend hours debugging OAuth errors
on dead APIs.

- Remove Playwright MCP server from plugin
- Add new agent-browser skill for CLI-based browser automation
- Rename /playwright-test to /test-browser command
- Update all commands and agents to use agent-browser CLI
- Update README and plugin.json
agent-browser is Vercel's headless browser CLI designed for AI agents.
It uses ref-based selection (@e1, @e2) from accessibility snapshots
and provides a simpler CLI interface compared to MCP tools.
Key benefits:
- No MCP server required
- Simpler Bash-based workflow
- Same ref-based element selection
- Better for quick automation tasks

All 26 agents now use `model: inherit` so they match whatever model
the user has configured in their main conversation.
Only `lint` keeps `model: haiku` since it's a simple task.

* [2.17.0] Expand agent-native skill with mobile app learnings
Major expansion of agent-native-architecture skill based on real-world
learnings from building the Every Reader iOS app.
New reference documents:
- dynamic-context-injection.md: Runtime app state in system prompts
- action-parity-discipline.md: Ensuring agents can do what users can
- shared-workspace-architecture.md: Agents and users in same data space
- agent-native-testing.md: Testing patterns for agent-native apps
- mobile-patterns.md: Background execution, permissions, cost awareness
Updated references:
- architecture-patterns.md: Added Unified Agent Architecture, Agent-to-UI
Communication, and Model Tier Selection patterns
Enhanced agent-native-reviewer with comprehensive review process covering
all new patterns, including mobile-specific verification.
Key insight: "The agent should be able to do anything the user can do,
through tools that mirror UI capabilities, with full context about the
app state."

* [2.18.0] Add Dynamic Capability Discovery and iCloud sync patterns
New patterns in agent-native-architecture skill:
- **Dynamic Capability Discovery** - For agent-native apps integrating with
external APIs (HealthKit, HomeKit, GraphQL), use a discovery tool (list_*)
plus a generic access tool instead of individual tools per endpoint.
(Note: Static mapping is fine for constrained agents with limited scope.)
- **CRUD Completeness** - Every entity needs create, read, update, AND delete.
- **iCloud File Storage** - Use iCloud Documents for shared workspace to get
free, automatic multi-device sync without building a sync layer.
- **Architecture Review Checklist** - Pushes reviewer findings earlier into
design phase. Covers tool design, action parity, UI integration, context.

New review agents for validating database migrations and risky data deployments:
- data-migration-expert: Validates ID mappings match production reality, checks
for swapped values, verifies rollback safety, provides SQL verification snippets
- deployment-verification-agent: Produces Go/No-Go deployment checklists with
pre/post-deploy SQL queries, data invariants, rollback procedures, monitoring
Updated /workflows:review to conditionally run these agents when PRs contain
database migrations (db/migrate/*.rb), data backfills, or ID/enum mappings.
