Full changelog
Agents Remember 2.4.2
This patch release packages the consolidated L-01 session lifecycle skill so agents get the complete request-to-close doctrine from SKILL.md itself. The release is backward-compatible and keeps MCP tool contracts unchanged.
Highlights
- Consolidates the detailed
l-01-session-job-lifecyclephase spine intoSKILL.md, removing the skippedlifecycle.mdcompanion file. - Syncs the updated lifecycle skill into MCP package data and all harness starter packages.
- Refreshes lifecycle onboarding so memory points at the new single entry contract and removes the orphaned
lifecycle.mdsidecar.
Lifecycle Skill
SKILL.mdnow carries request intake, trust checkpoint, reframe/research, decide, build, and close phase behavior inline.- The remaining companions are limited to
job-variants.mdanddeep-research-report-template.md. - Generated skill copies no longer include
lifecycle.md, preventing agents from missing required phase doctrine after reading the skill entry file.
Release Notes
- No MCP tool input/output contracts changed.
- No
CHANGELOG.mdwas added; GitHub Releases remain the canonical changelog.
