Fix convert.mjs to resolve canvas from .export-runtime via createRequire

Replace the charCount * fontSize * 0.55 text sizing heuristic with canvas-based

Update element format reference with sizing rules, label guidelines, and arrow routing
conventions. Add verification step to SKILL.md workflow.

* feat(commands): add /compound-engineering-setup for configurable agents
Adds a new setup command that allows users to configure which review
agents to use instead of hardcoding them in workflows. This enables:
- Multi-step onboarding with AskUserQuestion for easy setup
- Auto-detection of project type (Rails, Python, TypeScript, etc.)
- Three setup modes: Quick (smart defaults), Advanced, and Minimal
- Configuration stored in .claude/compound-engineering.json
- Support for both global (~/.claude/) and project-specific config
Updated workflows to read from config:
- /workflows:review - reads reviewAgents from config
- /plan_review - reads planReviewAgents from config
- /workflows:work - references config for reviewer agents
- /workflows:compound - references config for specialized agents

* feat: auto-trigger setup when no config exists
Workflows now detect missing config and offer inline quick setup:
- "Quick Setup" - auto-detect project type, create config, continue
- "Full Setup" - run /compound-engineering-setup for customization
- "Skip" - use defaults just this once
This ensures users get onboarded automatically when running any
workflow for the first time, without needing to know about the
setup command beforehand.

In git worktrees, .git is a regular file containing a gitdir: pointer

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.
- Move plans from `plans/` to `docs/plans/` for consistency with other artifacts
- Add date prefix (YYYY-MM-DD) to both plans and brainstorms for chronological sorting
- Add self-documenting suffixes: `-plan` and `-brainstorm` to identify artifact type
- Update filename derivation to extract title from content, not filename
- Clarify deepened plan naming: append `-deepened` after `-plan` suffix
New conventions:
- Brainstorms: `docs/brainstorms/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-brainstorm.md`
- Plans: `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>-<name>-plan.md`
- Deepened: `docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>-<name>-plan-deepened.md`
* feat(workflows:plan): Add smart research decision logic
Previously, /workflows:plan always ran all 3 research agents (repo-research,
best-practices, framework-docs) regardless of task complexity. This wasted
tokens and time for simple tasks like UI tweaks or bug fixes with clear causes.
Now the workflow:
- Always runs repo research first (fast, local)
- Makes an informed decision about external research based on:
- Signals gathered during idea refinement (familiarity, intent, risk)
- Repo research findings (existing patterns, CLAUDE.md guidance)
- High-risk topics (security, payments, external APIs) always trigger research
- Strong local context allows skipping external research
- Announces the decision and proceeds, user can redirect if needed
This makes the planning workflow smarter about when web research adds value.
* feat: Add /workflows:brainstorm command and skill
Add brainstorming workflow to explore requirements and approaches
before planning implementation:
- New `/workflows:brainstorm` command for collaborative dialogue
- New `brainstorming` skill with process knowledge and techniques
- Update `/workflows:plan` to detect brainstorm output and skip
idea refinement when relevant brainstorm exists
- Add brainstorm to README workflow commands table
The brainstorm → plan flow enables:
- Phase 0: Assess requirement clarity
- Phase 1: Understand the idea via repo research + dialogue
- Phase 2: Explore 2-3 approaches with trade-offs
- Phase 3: Capture design to docs/brainstorms/
- Phase 4: Handoff to /workflows:plan
- Update "current year is 2025" to 2026 in 4 research agents
- Update year ranges to 2024-2026 for content searches in deepen-plan
and create-agent-skills workflows
- Change "currency" to "recency" for clarity in domain expertise skill
- Remove quotes from the routing table's Response column
- Add blank line after <routing> tag to allow markdown parsing
GitHub treats custom XML tags as HTML, requiring a blank line
before markdown content to render correctly.

- 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

- No MCP server required
- Simpler Bash-based workflow
- Same ref-based element selection
- Better for quick automation tasks

- 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.

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.
