Completed skill trigger validation, routing table accuracy audit, and reference documentation for test-master, debugging-wizard, and code-reviewer enhancements. --- ## v0.4.0 - Project Workflow Commands & Cross-Referencing (Released) **Released:** January 18, 2026 | Patches: v0.4.1 (2026-01-19), v0.4.2 (2026-01-29) Introduced 9 project workflow commands spanning discovery, planning, execution, and retrospective phases. Added Atlassian MCP integration for Jira/Confluence operations, epic-driven development lifecycle, and Common Ground assumption-surfacing skill. Established the progressive disclosure architecture with tiered reference loading. --- ## v0.5.0 - Workflow Overhaul **Scope:** Decouple workflow commands from Jira/Confluence, add per-project backend configuration, create a project intake phase, rework discovery for product-centric workflows, integrate feature-forge into the pipeline. See [`docs/v0.5.0-plan.md`](docs/v0.5.0-plan.md) for the consolidated implementation plan. ### Backend Adapter Pattern - [#62](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/62): Generalize workflow commands for multiple ticketing and documentation systems - [#119](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/119): Backend adapter reference files (9 reference files for local, Jira, GitHub Issues, Confluence, GitHub Wiki backends) - Per-project config via `.claude/workflow-config.json` — ticketing (`local` | `jira` | `github-issues`) and documentation (`local` | `confluence` | `github-wiki`) ### Intake Commands (New Phase) - [#120](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/120): Three new commands — `intake:document-codebase`, `intake:capture-behavior`, `intake:create-system-description` - Generates living system documentation, characterization tests, and SOC2-style system description ### Discovery Rework - [#121](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/121): Full rewrite — topic-based input (not Jira epic key), local-first sources, produces epics AND tickets - [#103](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/103): Epic creation gap fix — discovery now creates epics, not just tickets ### Feature-Forge Integration - [#122](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/122): System description context (Step 0), discovery recommendation ("Needs additional discovery" standing option), output boundaries (optional EARS), skill-aware ticket generation ### Namespace & Directory Restructure - [#123](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/123): Drop `project:` prefix — `project:phase:action` becomes `phase:action`; flatten `commands/project/` to `commands/`; remove `complete-sprint` command ### Already Completed (Phase 1-2) - [#124](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/124): YAML workflow definition schema + DAG manifest - [#125](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/125): Narrative document restructure with per-command metadata ### Infrastructure - [#126](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/126): CI portability check — GitHub Action asserting `npx skills` detection matches `version.json` ### Command Count: 11 - 3 new (intake), 7 reworked (backend-agnostic), 1 removed (complete-sprint) --- ## v0.6.0 - Local-First Configuration **Scope:** Global-to-local config migration, per-project skill activation, workflow infrastructure hardening. This release moves configuration from global to per-project, enabling teams to customize skill sets and workflow behavior per repository. Builds on the backend adapter pattern from v0.5.0. ### Configuration Migration - [Discussion #112](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/discussions/112): Global-to-local config migration — `.claude/skills/` local install strategy, meta-skill/project analyzer - Per-project skill activation — select which skills are active for a given repository ### Workflow Infrastructure - [#50](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/50): Context Persistence — auto-store epic workflow state - [#51](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/51): State Validation — prevent commands from running out of order - [#52](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/52): Error Recovery — resume/rollback/retry mechanisms - [#53](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/53): Extract Shared Templates — centralize checkpoint patterns - [#54](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/54): Regression Test Suite — automated execution testing - [#55](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/55): Performance & Security Testing — systematic integration ### Common Ground - [#109](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/109): Common-ground local storage — persist assumptions per project --- ## v0.7.0 - Enhanced Skill Routing **Scope:** Improved skill discovery and routing, common-ground workflow integration. Depends on v0.6.0 local config. ### Skill Routing Improvements - [#65](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/65): Cross-Domain Recommendations — suggest complementary skills from different domains - [#66](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/66): Enhanced Routing Logic — context-aware skill selection - [#68](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/68): Skill Dependency Mapping — represent skill relationships - [#69](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/69): Skill metadata enhancement — structured `metadata` field for richer skill descriptors ### Common Ground Enhancements - [#108](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/108): Common-ground SessionStart hook — automatic assumption surfacing on session start - [#110](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/110): Common-ground progressive disclosure — phased assumption surfacing - [#111](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/111): Common-ground UserPromptSubmit hook — contextual assumption checks ### Feasibility Evaluation - [#64](https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills/issues/64): Smart Skill Discovery — consolidates #70, #71, #72; requires third-party tooling evaluation (vector embeddings, semantic search). Tracked separately pending feasibility assessment. --- ## v1.0.0 - Stable Release **Scope:** Production-ready platform with comprehensive testing and documentation. ### Production Readiness - Comprehensive test coverage - Performance benchmarks established - Security audit completed - Documentation complete for all commands, skills, and configuration - Migration guides for all versions ### Stable Guarantees - Semantic versioning commitment - Backward compatibility within major version - Long-term support model --- ## Beyond v1.0.0 - Future Considerations - Marketplace for community-created skills - Plugin architecture for custom integrations - Team collaboration features - IDE integrations - CI/CD pipeline connectors --- ## Contributing to the Roadmap We welcome community input on the roadmap direction.
