Release notes for the installable Shape Up plugin.
This changelog is intentionally release-facing rather than commit-facing. It summarizes what changed for users of the skill.
- Added a new
skills/shapeup/examples/section with four completed sample runs:new-productinternal-toolcustomer-requestai-workflow
- Added abridged transcripts plus finished artifacts for each example so users can see tone, pacing, handoffs, and output quality in practice.
- Updated repo docs to make the distinction explicit between normative protocol docs in
references/and illustrative sample runs inexamples/.
- Added persistent
Open QuestionsandNext Best Questionsections to the artifact formats across the planning pipeline.
- Updated resume behavior so returning sessions surface unresolved questions and, by default, continue with the recorded next-best question.
- Extended pitch assembly guidance and the pitch template to preserve resumability information through kickoff.
- Added a new optional
Evidencephase between Explore and Frame for lightweight interviews, smoke tests, concierge tests, fake doors, and other cheap validation work. - Added a new
evidence.mdartifact format for capturing experiments, signals, and the resulting recommendation.
- Updated routing so promising but still-uncertain wedges move into Evidence before they earn appetite.
- Tightened Explore and Frame handoffs so the skill can distinguish between branching, testing, and converging.
- Added explicit Explore-to-Frame handoff criteria in both
explore.mdandframe.md.
- Clarified when to stay in Explore versus when a problem is specific enough to begin Framing.
- Added contributor-facing versioning rules for deciding when and how to bump the plugin version.
- Bumped the plugin manifest version after shipped behavior changes to establish a clearer release process.
- Introduced the installable plugin structure with
.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonand marketplace metadata. - Packaged the Shape Up skill for plugin-style installation while preserving the core planning workflow.
- Reorganized the repository into the current
skills/shapeup/layout used by the installable plugin.
