Changelog

Notable changes to the Rainbrand Skill and Agent Plugin. This project follows Semantic Versioning.

[Unreleased]

[1.1.13] - 2026-10-17

Changed

• Add a dedicated Claude submission folder so Anthropic scans the installable plugin instead of cross-platform release artifacts and test infrastructure.

[1.1.12] - 2026-10-17

Changed

• Make the repository root directly usable by Anthropic's plugin directory and focus the Claude listing on shared brand context rather than media generation.

[1.1.11] - 2026-10-16

Changed

• Refocus the Codex store listing on shared brand context, onboarding, and updates, without presenting media generation as the plugin's definition.
• Shorten the Codex capability labels so the directory displays them clearly.

Fixed

• Allow the repository's social preview image in source validation without adding it to provider packages.

[1.1.10] - 2026-10-15

Changed

• Package bloom.skill.zip from an independent canonical source so Rainbrand guidance can evolve without rewriting the compatibility Skill.
• Removed the unrelated REST snapshot instruction from both installable Skills.

[1.1.9] - 2026-10-14

Added

• Add provider-native Codex/OpenAI and Cursor plugin archives alongside the Claude-native archive. All three copy the canonical Rainbrand Skill and use the same hosted MCP endpoint.
• Include the current OpenAI listing, review, and publication metadata in the Codex manifest for directory submission.

Changed

• Align Claude and Cursor manifests with their current native plugin contracts and streamline installation guidance around the archive for each client.
• Generate provider manifests and MCP configurations from canonical Skill metadata, shared plugin copy, and one MCP endpoint constant so package files cannot drift.
• Validate exact provider archive members, manifest contracts, MCP parity, source bytes, release assets, and reproducible output.

Removed

• Retire the root plugin.json manifest and rainbrand.plugin.zip portable distribution.

[1.1.8] - 2026-10-13

Added

• Restore bloom.skill.zip as a Bloom compatibility standalone Skill archive, generated from the canonical Skill with identity and domain substitutions. Both standalone variants carry the same current guidance and version.
• Package and validate both standalone archives as required release assets.
• Add rainbrand.claude-plugin.zip as a separate Claude-native distribution, with .claude-plugin/plugin.json, root .mcp.json, and the hosted Rainbrand MCP endpoint using transport http.
• Include the Rainbrand image in the native archive and reference it through the manifest's top-level icon. This fixes a non-behavioral presentation defect in the first native candidate.
• Add deterministic native packaging and validation for closed manifest fields, malformed MCP configs, exact archive members, Skill and image byte parity, and reproducible builds.

Changed

• Clarify provider-specific installation: Claude-native plugin, ChatGPT Plugins Directory when listed, direct MCP for other clients or accounts without plugin support, and standalone Skill as an optional advanced fallback.
• Reserve portable/OpenAI ZIP upload/import for publishers, testers, and eligible workspace admins. Document the Desktop-only restriction for imported MCP plugins and the separate account authorization step after plugin installation.
• Preserve the portable Agent Plugins 1.0 layout and standalone Skill archive. All three distributions copy the single canonical Skill.
• Bump Skill metadata to 1.1.8 to maintain package version invariants; Skill guidance is unchanged.

[1.1.7] - 2026-10-13

Changed

• Search the connected Rainbrand tool catalog again when the task changes or a needed tool is not loaded. A loaded subset does not represent the full connection; public docs remain reference material.
• Route brand creation and onboarding from websites, Instagram, or files to onboard_brand.
• Keep the packaged Skill account-neutral: stable product context, connected discovery, and universal brand workflows. The live tools, descriptions, and schemas own available capabilities and their execution instructions.
• Keep plugin descriptions capability-neutral. Packaging does not infer the consuming account or encode account-specific generation workflows.
• Remove internal review, submission, and cross-repository release instructions from the public and bundled README.
• Generate both distribution archives from the canonical Skill and validate exact Skill-byte agreement between the source and both archives.

Validation

• Package validation passes. Controlled live-client verification remains pending; package checks do not establish client behavior.

[1.1.3] - 2026-10-13

Changed

• Replace the temporary logo with the final Rainbrand icon.
• Update repository and download links to trybloomai/rainbrand-skills.
• Document direct ChatGPT workspace ZIP upload and manual updates, separately from optional public-directory publication.
• Rebuild both distribution archives.

[1.1.2] - 2026-10-08

Changed

• Add the Rainbrand icon and review walkthrough.

[1.1.1] - 2026-10-07

Changed

• Remove the placeholder asset README and allow the assets directory to remain absent until approved artwork is added, retaining validation for assets/rainbrand-logo.png.
• Restore the Skill's original documentation links and contract guidance with Rainbrand domains.
• Rebuild both distribution archives.

[1.1.0] - 2026-10-07

Changed

• Migrate the distribution identity from the preceding 1.0.6 release to Rainbrand: the plugin, MCP server, canonical Skill, install commands, and distribution archives now use rainbrand.
• Connect to https://mcp.rainbrand.com/mcp and use Rainbrand website, support, and legal URLs. Preserve the Skill's existing workflow guidance.
• Align review cases with live MCP tool names and document the account setup and conversation sequence needed to supply their IDs.
• Make both archives reproducible across time zones and umasks, with shared validation of source contents and metadata.
• Separate draft package validation from submission readiness. Approved artwork and a new walkthrough are still required before OpenAI submission.
• Support staged rollout with local install and archive paths, omitting optional repository metadata and unpublished download links. A later repository rename is optional housekeeping, not a submission gate.
• Document provider testing and Claude's native plugin compatibility limits.

Removed

• Retire the preceding distribution's visual assets from the new package. Approved Rainbrand artwork is pending; no substitute icon is bundled.
