Kiyo release history

This page mirrors the framework changelog and should be updated whenever the repository changelog changes.

Maintenance note

When the repository CHANGELOG.md is updated, this page should be updated too so the web experience stays in sync with the framework release notes.

0.27.0

Added kiyo-skill-router

2026-07-03

New auto skill that scans the 15-command Manual mission catalog for a match before generic freeform work starts, and asks for confirmation before committing to that mission's Safety Mode.

  • Recommends the closest matching /kiyo-<name> command and its default Safety Mode
  • Asks an explicit choice when two or more commands fit equally well
  • Never auto-executes a Manual skill's mission without confirmation

0.26.0

Host smoke tests, website sync checker, and release checklist

2026-07-03

Added structural smoke tests for all three host packages and a website-sync checker that compares this site's content against the framework's current skill catalog.

  • Corrected stale command references left over from the v0.23.0 consolidation across eight docs
  • Added a release checklist covering version, catalog, host, docs, and website steps
  • Re-confirmed OpenCode CLI compatibility remains portable Markdown guidance, not a shipped package

0.25.0

Command router, per-host install guides, compatibility matrix, and examples

2026-07-03

Added a command-decision guide, step-by-step install guides for each host, an honest compatibility matrix, and golden example outputs.

  • docs/command-router.md helps pick the right command by intent
  • Dedicated install guides for Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot
  • Example /kiyo-init and /kiyo-change-impact-analyzer outputs for a fictional project

0.24.0

Host discipline drift fixed across Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot

2026-07-03

Fixed the Mandatory Priority Order section in the Claude Code and GitHub Copilot entry files, which had been overwritten with the command list instead of the actual priority order.

  • Restored the correct priority order and host priority order in both files
  • Added two missing commands back into the invocation sections
  • Replaced stale "two hosts" wording with "three hosts" across all host files

0.23.0

Skill catalog consolidation

2026-07-02

Consolidated overlapping skills into stronger intent-based workflows such as /kiyo-bug-fix, /kiyo-refactor-surgeon, /kiyo-audit-specialist, /kiyo-change-impact-analyzer, and /kiyo-new-requirement.

  • Reduced overlapping skills from 36 to 30
  • Made the catalog easier to choose by intent rather than by implementation layer
  • Kept Claude Code native-first while aligning Codex and GitHub Copilot mirrors

0.22.0

Added kiyo-compact-response

2026-07-02

Added an auto skill that keeps ordinary responses compact and professional without removing evidence, risk, unknown, or verification details.

  • Introduced Compactness Mode with standard, compact, and ultra modes
  • Kept Response Mode separate from compactness styling
  • Made compactness the default for ordinary project replies

0.21.0

Added /kiyo-handover-document-generator

2026-07-02

Added a read-only skill for generating handover guides for maintainers, support, testers, PM/SA, and future AI agents.

  • Writes a structured guide to .kiyo/project/handover/handover-guide.md
  • Avoids recording secrets or unverified deployment details
  • Supports onboarding and transfer workflows

0.20.0

Added /kiyo-change-impact-analyzer

2026-07-02

Added a read-only change impact analysis workflow that helps teams understand the likely scope before implementation.

  • Identifies affected layers, files, APIs, and tests
  • Breaks work into AI-ready implementation tasks
  • Calls out risk, approval gates, and evidence gaps

0.19.0

Added onboarding overview output

2026-07-02

/kiyo-init now writes an onboarding-oriented codebase overview alongside the core Project Memory files.

  • Creates .kiyo/project/onboarding/codebase-overview.md
  • Uses evidence-first wording and marks unknowns explicitly
  • Supports faster future onboarding and AI handoff

0.18.0

Added /kiyo-dependency-security-auditor

2026-07-02

Added a read-only dependency security audit skill for .NET and Node-based projects.

  • Inspects dependency manifests and available audit tooling
  • Avoids changing manifests or lockfiles
  • Produces a structured report for remediation planning

0.17.0

Added /kiyo-new-requirement

2026-06-23

Added a requirement implementation workflow that reads Project Memory and guides implementation across frontend and backend surfaces.

  • Supports cross-layer requirement work
  • Keeps the implementation path grounded in project evidence
  • Lets the user confirm before implementation proceeds

0.16.0

Project Memory path harmonization and test suite

2026-06-16

Aligned Project Memory file names and added metadata and parity tests to keep the framework surfaces in sync.

  • Fixed phantom Project Memory reads in the specialist skills
  • Added metadata-docs and parity regression tests
  • Closed the missing mirror for kiyo-ui-ux-design

0.15.0

Added a UI/UX design bridge auto skill

2026-06-09

Added a bridge skill that routes visual-design requests to ui-ux-pro-max when that capability is available.

  • Supports palette, typography, layout, and visual component guidance
  • Avoids inventing design details without project evidence
  • Leaves architecture and implementation decisions to the existing project patterns

0.14.0

Added five discipline auto skills

2026-06-03

Wrapped ambiguity handling, simplicity, surgical change, existing-pattern-following, and runtime verification into always-on auto skills.

  • Asks the user before coding ambiguous requests
  • Keeps edits narrow and scoped
  • Requires runtime evidence before claiming success

0.13.0

Added an automated test suite and CI

2026-06-03

Introduced a zero-dependency Node test suite and CI workflow to keep hooks, manifests, and host parity under guard.

  • Added tests for hooks, manifest integrity, parity, and naming
  • Added a GitHub Actions workflow for npm test
  • Reduced drift risk across the three hosts

0.12.0

Project Memory file-name harmonization

2026-06-03

Fixed loader and SessionStart hook behavior so they point to the Project Memory files that /kiyo-init actually generates.

  • Canonicalized Project Memory reads to project-profile.md and project-structure.md
  • Kept Claude, Codex, and Copilot behavior aligned
  • Added a stop hook advisory for missing verification status

Added a Codex-compatible package that mirrors the same discipline, hooks, and skills.

  • Added AGENTS.md and a Codex hook
  • Ported the core skills into Codex format
  • Maintained a shared framework source of truth
