1.1.0 — 2026-07-29

Changed (Breaking)

/conclave-init is now the one-time project setup wizard

The wizard logic has been consolidated into /conclave-init. It now auto-detects the stack, collects project name, story prefix, project language, launch date, team mode, team profile, and locates the product planning document — then creates the workspace. /conclave-spec is now a deprecated shim that redirects to /conclave-init.

/conclave-planning generates all artifacts (Phase A + Phase B)

On the first run (no backlog exists yet), /conclave-planning reads product_doc_path and invokes the PM and TL in parallel to produce the full Product Backlog, Architectural Foundation, per-story files, and Gherkin acceptance criteria. The Sprint Planning ceremony (Phase B) always runs after Phase A. On subsequent runs, Phase A is skipped. Use --all to plan every sprint from the product document in one pass.

Added

story_prefix in config.md

New field (default US, set during /conclave-init) controlling the prefix for all story and acceptance file names. Examples: US-001-login.md / AC-US-001.md, or TASK-001-login.md with story_prefix: TASK.

product_doc_path in config.md

New field pointing to the product planning document /conclave-planning reads on its first run. Set during /conclave-init; update to point to a different document at any time.

launch_date in config.md

New field (ISO date or "TBD", set during /conclave-init) carried through generated artifacts.

0.16.0 — 2026-07-27

Added

project_language in config

A new ISO 639-1 field in conclave/config.md (es, en, pt, etc.). Every command reads it and passes it to role subagents so all generated markdown — stories, acceptance criteria, bug descriptions, reports, comments — is written in the team’s language. Defaults to es when absent. /conclave-init asks for it during bootstrap.

Sprint plan detection in /conclave-spec

Before asking clarification questions, the command scans the repo for any requirements or backlog document using keyword matching. If found, it is passed to the PM and TL agents as source-of-truth context. If nothing is found, the user is asked to share a document (markdown preferred to save tokens) or continue without one.

Multi-sprint planning — /conclave-planning --all

A new --all flag plans every draft sprint from the backlog in one pass. The first sprint becomes active; the rest are planned and left in draft, ready to be activated when the previous sprint closes.

Sprint closing report and UAT guide

When a sprint run completes, /conclave-sprint now generates:

  • conclave/report/SPRINT-NNN/report.md — full sprint closing report (velocity, outcomes, bug counts, recommendations).
  • conclave/report/SPRINT-NNN/UAT.md — functional testing guide for every delivered feature with Gherkin scenarios, manual test steps, and a sign-off table.
  • conclave/report/SPRINT-NNN/dora-data.yml — raw DORA snapshot for /conclave-dora to aggregate.

Sprint cannot close while a critical bug is open (new gate in Step 12 of /conclave-sprint).

QA verification on the integration branch

/conclave-qa now switches to develop (or the configured repo.integration_branch) instead of the feature branch, verifying the integrated codebase. When a verification is blocked, reproducible defects are written as BUG-NNN-<slug>.md in conclave/sprints/<SPRINT_ID>/bugs/, linked to the story, acceptance criteria, and the PR that introduced the regression.

/conclave-dora command

New command to generate DORA metrics reports: --period biweekly | monthly | semiannual | annual | full-project, or explicit --from / --to dates. Uses the Tech Lead agent for full-scrum teams, Product Manager for lean/solo teams. Lean/solo output omits per-individual metrics. Reports saved to conclave/report/dora/.

GitHub project templates

/conclave-init now writes three template files:

  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md — GitHub bug report form with Conclave story/sprint linkage fields.
  • .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md — PR checklist referencing CLAUDE.md and acceptance criteria.
  • conclave/team/PR_REVIEW_TEMPLATE.md — tech-lead PR review checklist.

Enhanced pr-comment-reviewer skill

Now reads conclave/product/architecture.md and the story’s acceptance file alongside CLAUDE.md. Performs a diff analysis against the develop branch detecting regression risks, bug patterns, and architectural violations. After the report, asks whether to post findings as inline PR comments or a general PR comment.

Changed

  • config.md schema: new project_language field. The stack.language field (programming language) is unchanged.
  • conclave_version bumped to 0.16.0.
  • /conclave-init now includes a language question and writes the three GitHub templates.
  • /conclave-qa allowed-tools adds mkdir, find; switches to the integration branch.
  • /conclave-sprint adds Steps 12–13 (bug gate + report generation).

0.15.0 — 2026-07-26

Breaking: Conclave no longer merges pull requests. The delivery loop moved to /conclave-dev --loop with a new wave structure and schedule schema.

Added

  • Autonomous Three-Wave Delivery Loop on /conclave-dev (--loop, ADR-006): W0 conflict ordering → W1 Dev + green CI → W2 QA → W3 forced Tech Lead review. Any failure returns the story to W1. Never merges.
  • Wave 0 conflict analysis — reads dependencies: frontmatter and serializes stories that touch the same paths. Aborts on dependency cycles.
  • Recurring local-time schedule commands.dev.schedule — timezone, days, start_time/end_time, duration_days, active_from, enforce.
  • Agent-productivity statistics in the run report — per-role dispatch counts, first-pass rates, rework heatmap, cycle time, and the PR-ready list with copyable merge commands.
  • Versioned Slack templates — success, partial, and HITL (fired at the moment a blocker occurs).

Changed

  • gh pr merge removed from every command. QA + TL approval are gates; merging is human.
  • /conclave-sprint --no-interaction is now a headless one-pass only (no self-heal, no loop, no merge).
  • commands.sprint.schedule, commands.sprint.budgets, commands.sprint.merge_method are ignored no-ops.

Migration

Replace commands.sprint.* loop keys with commands.dev.*. Replace window_start/window_end with the recurring schedule block. Point recurring triggers at /conclave-dev --loop.

0.14.0 — 2026-07-25

Added

  • Autonomous Delivery Loop on /conclave-dev (--loop, ADR-005): serial Dev → CI → QA → forced TL review → merge into repo.integration_branch. Self-heals until the attempt budget runs out.
  • Bugs can now be delivered hands-off via /conclave-dev --loop BUG-NNN.
  • --ignore-schedule on /conclave-dev; schedule/budget gating for the dev loop.

0.13.0 — 2026-07-24

Added

  • /conclave-dev --loop (ADR-004): sprint-scoped autonomous loop. Takes the active sprint and runs Dev → CI → QA → TL review → merge in a self-healing cycle.
  • /conclave-sprint-board (v0.12.0): offline HTML Kanban snapshot at docs/sprint-board/.

0.12.0 — 2026-07-23

Added

  • /conclave-sprint-board: generates a self-contained offline HTML board from the active sprint’s stories.

0.11.0

Added

  • Conclave on Cursor (conclave-cursor): parallel Cursor plugin package under platforms/cursor/, synced from the canonical skills tree via scripts/sync-cursor-platform.sh.

0.10.0

Added

  • /conclave-bug: report and list bugs (BUG-NNN) with MCP-agnostic repro steps, Gherkin repro scenarios, GitHub issue mirror, and bilingual docs.
  • Mixed-ID dispatch: /conclave-dev, /conclave-qa, and /conclave-pr-review now accept BUG-NNN alongside US-NNN.

0.9.0

Added

  • Autonomous mode on /conclave-dev (--no-interaction / commands.dev.interactive: false): no AskUserQuestion prompts, documented defaults, AUTONOMOUS_ABORT on ambiguous decisions, per-run report appended to the story file.
  • /conclave-sprint Phase 2 forces autonomous regardless of the config key.

0.8.0

Added

  • /conclave-story retire and /conclave-story split: mechanical story lifecycle operations. Retired stories are terminal — never re-enter planning or QA.
  • /conclave-adr: topic-directed and discovery ADR authoring. Migrates inline ADRs from architecture.md on first run.

0.7.0

Added

  • Model configuration block in config.md: optional models: key with default and per-role overrides. Commands resolve models.overrides.<role> → models.default → parent session model.

0.6.0 and earlier

Initial release, sprint planning, story dispatch, QA gate, Tech Lead PR review, Kanban board scaffold (/conclave-board).
