Changelog

August 22, 2026

  • Canonical agent directives are ~24% leaner at the source (~21% as shipped in generated plugins): the bounded-repair contract lives once in the global rules, specialist skill catalogs list only verified skills, and the rules delegation roster insert keeps the generated rules file self-contained.
  • Delegated implementation outcomes now complete at a pushed feature branch with an open PR; failed or cancelled delegations get one adjusted-brief retry before structured blocker reporting.
  • Decision record: ADR-CORE-019 (docs/adr/core/ADR-CORE-019-directive-simplification.md).

August 13, 2026

  • Agent directives now calibrate effort to task risk, prefer mature ecosystem solutions, converge reviews on material blockers, deliver routine engineering work through feature branches and PRs, and clean up task-owned background processes before completion.

August 12-13, 2026

  • Clarified agent workflow contracts: routine validated commits on recognized feature branches remain autonomous after required review; push and later lifecycle actions stay separately gated.
  • Simplified and re-aligned the shared directives around outcome, evidence, runtime authority, blind review, bounded repair, and autonomous routine work, keeping generated projections in sync.

August 11, 2026

  • Streamlined canonical agent directives by centralizing universal contracts and adding bounded autonomy, work-unit budgets, scope control, process lifecycle evidence, and checkpoint action boundaries.

August 6, 2026

  • Delegation is more selective, handoffs stay concise, and Sonar research starts with the owning specialist, adding another specialist only when a distinct required output remains.

August 3, 2026

The orchestrator now routes by task class across direct, focused, and full routes. Small explanations and tiny edits run directly or through one specialist; complex or high-risk work uses the full pipeline. fein selects the full route, sonar is research-only, and blitz is an explicit low-risk/direct bypass that does not waive safety floors.

July 21, 2026

  • Initial release of @maestria/cursor - declarative Cursor plugin for IDE and CLI.
  • 7 specialist agents synced from core (agents/*.md) with Cursor-adapted tool names
  • Orchestrator skill (skills/orchestrator/SKILL.md) with Task-based routing, handoff contracts, and maker/checker enforcement
  • Global rules (rules/maestria-global.mdc, alwaysApply: true)
  • Workflow commands - /fein (full pipeline), /sonar (research only), /blitz (fast implementation)
  • Two-layer maker/checker - readonly: true runtime flag on adventurer/planner/reviewer agents
  • CLI support - maestria install cursor, maestria update cursor, maestria uninstall cursor, maestria check cursor
  • Sync workflow mode commands through canonical source pipeline

July 21, 2026

Initial release - same as 0.1.0 (versioning alignment).
