Unreleased

1.0.0 - 2026-04-13 — Framework Maturity

Added

• using-gangsta — new meta-bootstrap skill that serves as the single entry point for all intent routing through the Borgata hierarchy
• Platform tool mapping references for OpenCode, Copilot CLI, Codex, and Gemini CLI (references/ directory)
• Proactive memory capture protocol — the orchestrator now automatically offers to save insights or fails to the Ledger after significant exchanges
• Formal framework design spec and implementation plan documents

Changed

• the-don merged into using-gangsta — orchestration is now unified under a single bootstrap skill instead of two overlapping roles
• Heist document structure reorganized — all artifacts now live under docs/gangsta/<heist>/ with recon/, plans/, and checkpoints/ subdirectories for clarity
• Phase labels changed from numbers to names across all skills (e.g., "Phase 1" → "Reconnaissance") for readability
• The Grilling: Don now interacts one question at a time per round instead of receiving a bulk summary — tighter adversarial loop
• OpenCode plugin updated to server API

Fixed

• Checkpoint path references updated across all skills to match the new docs/gangsta/<heist>/checkpoints/ structure

0.3.0 - 2026-04-13 — Software Dev Skills

Added

• interrogation-debugging skill — systematic root-cause interrogation protocol before any fix attempt; prevents premature patching
• drill-tdd skill — enforces Red-Green-Refactor with a hard rule: no production code without a failing test first
• safehouse-worktrees skill — sets up isolated git worktrees so feature work never contaminates the main workspace
• audit-review skill — dispatches the-inspector subagent for independent code review after implementation
• receiving-orders skill — processes code review feedback with technical rigor, distinguishing valid orders from stronzate
• sweep-verification skill — evidence-before-assertions gate that must pass before any "done" claim is made
• exit-strategy skill — guides clean branch integration, PR creation, and safehouse cleanup after a Heist
• the-inspector agent — independent code review subagent definition with standing audit authority
• Cross-references wired between all new skills and the core Heist pipeline (the-hit, laundering, the-consigliere)
• Software Development Skills section added to README

Fixed

• Repository URLs corrected from placeholder to kucherenko/gangsta
• Installation instructions updated to fetch-and-follow pattern

0.2.0 - 2026-04-13 — Cross-Platform

Added

• OpenCode plugin (opencode/plugins/gangsta.js) with session-start hooks for automatic framework bootstrapping
• Platform manifests for Claude Code (.claude-plugin/), Cursor (.cursor-plugin/), Codex (.codex/), and Gemini CLI (gemini-extension.json)
• README.md — framework philosophy, full Heist Pipeline overview, Borgata Hierarchy table, and installation instructions for all supported platforms
• AGENTS.md — contributor guidelines including zero-dependency mandate, skill change requirements, and Omerta law compliance rules

Fixed

• Session-start hook rewritten to use awk for POSIX-compatible YAML frontmatter stripping (replaces non-portable bash workaround)

0.1.0 - 2026-04-13 — The Foundation

Added

• omerta skill — the governance foundation; defines the Omerta Laws that govern all agent behavior (anti-hallucination, authorization, spec supremacy, etc.)
• the-ledger skill — institutional memory system for Insights, Fails, and the Project Constitution
• the-consigliere skill — impartial architectural advisor operating outside the chain of command with authority to invoke truth checks
• the-underboss skill — COO-level task decomposition, territory allocation, and resource management
• the-capo skill — domain territory commander template for orchestrating Soldier subagents
• reconnaissance skill — Phase 1 intel gathering protocol with structured Dossier format
• the-grilling skill — adversarial Multi-Agent Debate (Proposer vs Devils-Advocate) with bounded round limits and Don participation
• the-sit-down skill — Phase 3 formal contract drafting with strict code prohibition (spec before implementation)
• resource-development skill — Phase 4 task decomposition into Work Packages with territory allocation and token budgets
• the-hit skill — Phase 5 parallel Soldier execution with TDD enforcement and escalation protocols
• laundering skill — Phase 6 verification, integration, Consigliere review, and Ledger update
• Named agent definitions: soldier, devils-advocate, proposer, synthesizer, associate
• Full 6-phase Heist Pipeline: Reconnaissance → The Grilling → The Sit-Down → Resource Development → The Hit → Laundering
• Borgata hierarchy: Don → Consigliere → Underboss → Capo → Soldiers/Associates
• Project scaffold with package.json (MIT license, zero dependencies)
