CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

1.3.0

• Ada character system — Ada now has a Samantha-like personality with emotional memory, self-reflection, and growth across sessions
• Obsidian CLI integration — New _util-obsidian skill wraps Obsidian CLI (v1.12+) for vault search, backlinks, tags, and file operations
• Context-enriched assistants — Calendar, Projects, and Relationships assistants now pull related vault content via Obsidian CLI for richer context

• Added plan/reflect references for Ada's ritual integration

1.2.0

• Parallel assistant execution — Ada now runs assistants as parallel background agents for 70-80% faster rituals
• Draft-and-fill architecture — Assistants output drafts with HTML comment placeholders, Ada orchestrates questions and fills answers
• Intelligent question ordering — Ada orders questions by priority (context → strategy → tactics → capture) for natural conversation flow
• Graceful degradation — Failed agents don't block ritual completion; partial results still usable
• Feature flag support — Control parallel execution via vault/00_Brain/Systemic/Config/ada.yaml
• Updated all 7 assistants (goals, calendar, journal, achievements, relationships, projects) for draft mode
• Updated all plan and reflect rituals across all 4 timescales
• Added comprehensive documentation for parallel execution and draft mode
• Added error handling: timeouts, failures, malformed placeholders

0.9.0

• Absorbed init skill into Ada — /ada setup replaces /init, Ada is now the central UX for all human interactions
• Merged brief assistant into compose phase — brief synthesis happens during composition with access to all assistant outputs
• Split templates into Ada base + assistant sections — 19 assistant-owned templates, 4 Ada base templates with compose order
• Added variance-based reflect flow — each assistant compares plan output to actual capture, returns findings to Ada for coaching
• Moved section order to Ada's systemic memory — vault/00_Brain/Systemic/Ada/section-order.md stores Ada's preferences
• Renamed ada.yaml → assistants.yaml for user-configurable assistant settings
• Moved protocol specs to _specs/ and compose to ada/references/compose/ (never were assistants)

• Moved skill writing style and GitHub workflow labels to CLAUDE.md

0.7.0

• Implemented Ada-centric skill architecture — Ada owns all logic, entity skills are thin dispatchers
• Moved entity actions into ada/references/{entity}/{action}.md (project/create, project/archive, person/onboard)
• Introduced prefix scheme: (none)=user-invokable, _assistant-*=internal assistants, _util-*=utilities

• Updated all cross-references across documentation

0.5.0

• Replaced hardcoded timescale table in ritual-flow.md with reference to frontmatter declarations
