AI summaryGemini CLI support removed due to Google EOL.
Full changelog
Lower Per-Session Token Cost
The using-superpowers bootstrap is injected into every session, so its size is paid for constantly. This release trims it and the per-harness references it points to, without dropping behavior-shaping content.
- Compressed the
using-superpowersbootstrap. Replaced the graphviz skill-flow diagram with the prose it encoded, folded the standalone Instruction-Priority section into User Instructions, dropped the per-platform "How to Access Skills" walkthrough, and trimmed the Platform Adaptation pointer to the harnesses that still ship a reference file. The full Red Flags rationalization table and the user-instruction precedence rules are unchanged. - Pruned the per-harness tool-mapping references. The verbose action-to-tool tables restated guidance modern agents already follow. Each reference file is trimmed to the harness-specific notes that still carry weight — subagent dispatch, task tracking, instructions-file paths — and
claude-code-tools.mdandcopilot-tools.md, which had nothing harness-specific left, are deleted.
Codex
- Codex can install from the marketplace. Codex marketplace sources expect a
.agents/plugins/marketplace.jsonat the marketplace root; the repo only shipped the Claude marketplace file, so Codex could name the marketplace but found no installable plugin entries. A repo-local Codex marketplace manifest now points at the same repository root, so the plugin is installable from Codex. - Codex no longer ships a SessionStart hook. Codex reliably triggers skills on its own, and the bootstrap hook made the UX worse rather than better. The Codex hook config (
hooks-codex.json) and its manifest registration are removed.
Harness Support
- Gemini CLI support removed. Google EOLed the Gemini CLI on 2026-06-18; the extension can no longer be installed or updated. Gemini is gone from the install docs, the subagent-capable platform lists, and the eval-harness description, and its tool-mapping reference is deleted.
Breaking Changes
- Removed Gemini CLI support and all related configuration, documentation, and tool-mapping references.
