Changelog

This file records material changes to the Jido Work System.

0.6.0 (2026-11-09)

Added

• The public $tutor skill with six approved topics, guided practice, feedback, and explicit handoffs to Jido.
• Release Please automation that creates a checked release pull request and creates the matching tag and GitHub Release after merge.

Changed

• $jido now selects the first unresolved contract from eight internal Katas and continues through repair and verification.
• Detailed work methods are now internal Jido references instead of separate public skills.
• Installation now provides the two public skills jido and tutor.
• Public library links and package metadata now use agentjido/skills.

Removed

• The former public kata-* skill entry points and compatibility wrappers. The v0.5.0 release remains available as the last multi-skill package.

[0.5.0] - 2026-11-05

Added

• The $jido front door for evidence-based work routing.
• Twenty-three active Agent Skills for leadership, understanding, product direction, planning, implementation, verification, delivery, documentation, security, and Elixir work.
• Agent Skills, Claude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, and Pi package metadata.
• Apache-2.0 project licensing, contribution guidance, and a code of conduct.
• kata-tutor for adaptive agentic-leadership teaching through real work.
• kata-scope for bounded, portable work briefs.
• kata-delegate for clear assignments and check, watch, or drive follow-through.
• kata-security for security guidance and source-first security audits.
• A release check that rejects symbolic links in the public skill catalog.
• A changelog-driven, tag-based GitHub Release workflow.
• A shared Jido pull request review that reports conventional commit titles and workflow risks.
• Installation trust guidance.

Changed

• Public naming now uses Agent Jido Kata.
• Kata facet lists now use Agent Skills-compatible string metadata.
• Kata is now positioned for agentic productivity in general, not only for coding agents.
• The README is shorter. The skill list moved to the package guide, and host details moved to a host compatibility reference.
• kata-docs now owns scoped AGENTS.md and entry-point README orientation.
• Technical explainer production moved out of the public pack.
• Public plugin metadata now declares the portable schema, license, homepage, and discovery keywords.
• Public author and copyright references now name Jidoka Labs and licensed contributors.

Removed

• The marketing plan. Marketing material is kept outside this repository.
• The separate kata-orient public package. Its method is in kata-docs.
• The public technical-explainer package.

Known limits

• Native loading through every included host manifest has not been verified. The primary distribution path is npx skills add agentjido/kata.
• Skills directories can cache earlier source versions. Confirm that a listing shows the current packages before relying on it for release discovery.
