v0.5.0 — Token Optimizer & Plan/Execute Agents

[mvoutov]

aspens v0.5.0 is now live on npm.

Highlights

Token Optimizer

All prompts — discovery, generation, sync, and agent customization — have been trimmed to reduce token usage while preserving semantic content. This means faster runs and lower costs, especially on larger repos.

Plan + Execute Agent Pair

Two new agent templates for structured workflows. plan analyzes the task and produces a step-by-step plan; execute carries it out. Install them with:

aspens add agent plan
aspens add agent execute

Graph Removal

New --remove flag on doc graph to cleanly strip graph artifacts from a repo:

aspens doc graph --remove

Other

• Refreshed dev-docs and dev-docs-update command templates
• Improved code-running rule in generated CLAUDE.md
• Security: bumped picomatch to 4.0.4

Upgrade

npm install -g aspens@latest
aspens doc init --hooks-only   # update hooks in existing repos
