Changelog

[2.0.0] - 2025-11-23 - Major Architecture Overhaul

🚀 Major Changes

Agent-Based Detection (vs Python Pattern Matching)

• Replaced 727-line detect_project.py Python script with intelligent project-analyzer agent
• Agent reads key files, understands context, and asks clarifying questions
• More accurate, context-aware project understanding

Interactive Workflow

• Added mode selection: Quick (⚡ $0.03, 10 min) → Focused (🔧 $0.10, 20 min) → Comprehensive (🏗️ $0.15, 30 min)
• No more guessing - system asks questions with recommendations
• Simple mode first for new users

Template-Based Generation

• Replaced Python string building with .template files using {{variable}} syntax
• Easier to customize and maintain
• Cleaner separation of structure from logic

Tool Discovery

• Automatically detects existing automation (linting, testing, CI/CD, git hooks, etc.)
• Prevents duplication and integration conflicts
• Recommends: fill gaps, enhance existing, or create independent

Cost Transparency

• Shows token estimates, time estimates, and costs BEFORE execution
• No surprises - users see exactly what they're getting

🎯 New Features

User Preference Learning (scripts/user_preferences.py)

• Tracks mode preferences, agent usage, satisfaction ratings
• Provides personalized recommendations based on history
• Calculates ROI: actual time saved / setup time

Metrics Tracking (scripts/metrics_tracker.py)

• Records ACTUAL time saved (not just estimates)
• Tracks effectiveness: which automation is actually used
• Proves value with real data

Rollback Capability (scripts/rollback_manager.py)

• Creates automatic backups before making changes
• Manifest-based tracking of all changes
• One-command rollback to pre-automation state

Configuration Reuse (scripts/agent_reuse.py)

• Saves successful automation configurations
• Finds similar projects using similarity matching
• Recommends reuse to save 5-10 minutes

📁 New Scripts

• scripts/collect_project_metrics.py - Simple metrics collection (150 lines vs 586)
• scripts/template_renderer.py - Template rendering engine
• scripts/discover_existing_tools.py - Existing automation detection
• scripts/cost_estimator.py - Cost/time estimation
• scripts/user_preferences.py - User learning and recommendations
• scripts/metrics_tracker.py - Real usage tracking
• scripts/rollback_manager.py - Backup and restore
• scripts/agent_reuse.py - Configuration reuse

📝 New Templates

• templates/agent-base.md.template - Base template for agents
• templates/skill-base.md.template - Base template for skills
• templates/command-base.md.template - Base template for commands
• templates/project-analyzer.md - Intelligent project analyzer agent

🗑️ Removed

Obsolete Code:

• ❌ scripts/detect_project.py (727 lines) - Replaced by agent-based detection

Test Data:

• ❌ .claude/meta-automation/ directories with test runs

Obsolete Documentation:

• ❌ IMPROVEMENT_ROADMAP.md
• ❌ PHASE1_IMPLEMENTATION.md
• ❌ PHASE2_IMPLEMENTATION.md
• ❌ PHASE3_IMPLEMENTATION.md
• ❌ IMPLEMENTATION_COMPLETE.md
• ❌ UNIVERSAL_UPGRADE.md
• ❌ DOCUMENT_FORMATS_EXPANSION.md

Old Templates:

• ❌ templates/example-skill-template.md
• ❌ templates/example-command-template.md
• ❌ templates/example-hook-template.py

📊 Impact

• Lines Removed: ~3,500 lines
• Files Removed: ~18 files
• Code Quality: Production-ready, maintainable structure
• User Experience: Interactive, transparent, learns from usage
• Efficiency: Simple mode first, progressive enhancement

🔄 Migration Notes

Breaking Changes:

• detect_project.py removed - use project-analyzer agent instead
• Old template format {variable} replaced with {{variable}}

New Workflow:

1. Skill asks: Quick, Focused, or Comprehensive?
2. Collects project metrics
3. Launches project-analyzer agent
4. Agent analyzes and asks questions
5. Discovers existing tools
6. Shows cost/time estimates
7. Generates automation
8. Tracks usage and learns
