Full skill instructions

Update Changelog

After making significant project changes or decisions, record them in the "Recent Updates & Decisions" section at the bottom of AGENTS.md.


When to Update

Add an entry whenever you:

  • Make a technology or architecture decision
  • Establish or change a coding convention
  • Add, remove, or rename features or commands
  • Perform significant refactoring
  • Bump the project version
  • Change build, test, or deployment procedures
  • Make any decision that future contributors should know about

Entry Format

Each entry starts with a heading containing the date, time, and an optional short label:

### YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM (label)

- Description of change or decision
- Reasoning if non-obvious
- Version bump if applicable

Rules:

  • Use ISO date format: YYYY-MM-DD
  • Always include the time in 24-hour format: HH:MM
  • Add a parenthetical label when the change needs a short identifier (e.g. version number, feature name)
  • Use bullet points for individual items within an entry
  • Keep each bullet concise: what changed and why
  • Mention version bumps inline: Version bump: X.Y.Z to X.Y.Z (TYPE - reason)
  • Newest entries go first (reverse chronological order)

Where to Write

The section must be at the end of AGENTS.md. Look for:

## Recent Updates & Decisions

If the section does not exist, create it by appending the following to the bottom of AGENTS.md:

---

## Recent Updates & Decisions

Then add the new entry below the heading.

Also update the Last updated timestamp near the top of AGENTS.md to today's date.


Example

## Recent Updates & Decisions

### 2026-02-25 14:30 (anyhow migration)

- Migrated error handling from custom Result type alias to anyhow crate
- lib.rs now re-exports pub use anyhow::Result
- Replaced all Err(format!(...).into()) with Err(anyhow!(...))
- Version bump: 9.0.2 to 9.0.3 (PATCH - internal refactor)

### 2026-02-24 09:15 (v9.0.0)

- MAJOR version bump: 8.0.0 to 9.0.0 (V1 removed, V3 template format)
- Removed V1 template engine and all V1 templates
- Introduced V3 template format with shared file groups and includes

Do Not

  • Do not remove or rewrite existing entries
  • Do not move this section away from the bottom of the file
  • Do not use this section for TODO items or planned work
  • Do not duplicate the full commit message — summarize the decision and reasoning
