All notable changes to this extension will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
1.9.0 - 2026-07-03
- Restored Spec Kit as the sole workflow owner by replacing the old controller with a read-only implementation readiness gate and removing post-task, post-implementation, and post-convergence Superb stages.
- Reduced Superb's logical Superpowers contract to five directly used skills; complete-plugin installation remains an explicit distribution compatibility option rather than a runtime dependency claim.
- Removed Superb lifecycle status synchronization, temporary evidence archives, and obsolete orchestration design notes.
- Narrowed critique, debug, respond, and finish to explicit read/write boundaries.
1.8.0 - 2026-06-30
- Mandatory
after_convergehook runningspeckit.superb.verify, so work produced by upstream/speckit-convergepasses the evidence-first gate before it can be declared complete (implement → converge → implement → verify).
reviewnow delegates requirement-coverage-gap remediation to/speckit-convergeinstead of recommending manual task additions, and focuses its own verdict on task quality, TDD-readiness, and plan↔task consistency. README documents thereview(plan-stage) vsconverge(delivery-stage) boundary.- Declared Spec Kit compatibility raised to
>=0.12.0.
1.7.0 - 2026-06-30
- Added centralized missing skill guidance and installation orchestration in
ensure-skills.sh, plus installation-agnostic skill discovery inresolve-skill.sh. - Added interactive
npxchecking, Quick Setup impact groupings (Hard Requirements vs Optional Skills), and prompt selection execution in/speckit.superb.check. - Added sandboxed HOME E2E installation test.
1.6.1 - 2026-06-16
- Removed the external
code-reviewskill dependency fromcheck.mddiagnostics andcontroller.mdMulti-Agent SDD Layer 2 fallback to maintain a pure Superpowers identity.
1.6.0 - 2026-06-07
- Added mandatory
plan-gatecommand andafter_planhook to verify task list granularity and prevent placeholder leakage. - Integrated
subagent-driven-development(SDD) orchestration logic (Controller-Worker-Reviewer pattern) into the TDD implementation gate (controller.md). - Supported concurrent subagent dispatch for tasks marked with
[P]. - Implemented stateful
discoveries.mdlog propagation across worker subagents for isolated context implementation.
1.5.2 - 2026-06-05
- Changed
/speckit.superb.verifyevidence capture to write run-local files in the system temporary directory instead of creating project files under.specify/evidence/. - Updated the Universal Bridge pre-commit hook so
Verifiedspecs require completed tasks but no longer require repository-stored evidence files.
1.5.1 - 2026-06-04
- Updated
/speckit.superb.reviewto emit a stable workflow decision block that routes passing, blocked, inconclusive, missing-artifact, and abandoned-feature outcomes to the correct next Spec Kit command or user approval gate.
1.5.0 - 2026-05-27
- Added optional
/speckit.superb.brainstormafter-specify refinement hook for applying installed Superpowersbrainstormingdiscipline to the active Spec Kitspec.md.
- Clarified the Superpowers gap map:
requesting-code-reviewis represented bycritique/respond,dispatching-parallel-agentsinformsdebug, andwriting-plansinforms task-quality checks inreview. - Added a Superpowers-to-Superpowers Bridge mapping matrix documenting direct bridges, borrowed disciplines, non-exposed workflow skills, and Spec Kit stage integration.
- Clarified the autonomous agent execution contract for required hooks, optional hooks, manual commands, and borrowed disciplines.
- Reframed the open-source product positioning around selected Superpowers disciplines delivered as evidence-first trust gates for Spec Kit agent workflows, including ICP and first-success adoption guidance.
- Documented the naming hierarchy for
Superpowers Bridge,superpowers-bridge, and thesuperbcommand namespace. - Documented the Goal mode prompt pattern for opting into optional superb hooks while preserving the baseline required/optional policy.
- Expanded bridge diagnostics and configuration templates for optional Superpowers discipline skills without changing hard requirements.
1.4.0 - 2026-05-24
- Added evidence archiving scripts for Bash and PowerShell so
/speckit.superb.verifycan persist verification output under.specify/evidence/. - Added regression coverage for evidence archive creation, missing checklist/test output, missing separators, and invalid build statuses.
- Updated
/speckit.superb.verifysoVerifiedstatus synchronization happens only after evidence archiving succeeds. - Tightened
/speckit.superb.critiquearound requirement mapping, side-effect detection, and fix-plan generation for critical drift. - Wired evidence archive tests into CI.
1.3.0 - 2026-04-16
- No extension payload changes since
1.1.0; current unreleased work only corrects release metadata wording for the existing bridge package.
1.1.0 - 2026-04-16
- Repositioned Superpowers Bridge as a Spec Kit enhancement layer instead of a workflow replacement
- Added
speckit.superb.checkfor local superpowers skill discovery and readiness diagnostics - Updated command docs to bridge installed local skills from workspace/global roots instead of remote or embedded fallbacks
- Narrowed
speckit.superb.reviewto task coverage and TDD-readiness checks - Clarified which capabilities are bridge-native versus superpowers-adapted
- Added bridge-owned
spec.mdstatus synchronization for observable lifecycle states:Tasked,Implementing,Verified,In Review, andAbandoned - Explicitly excluded
Completedfrom the current bridge status model because GitHub merge completion is outside the current hook surface
- Removed the
before_specifyclarify bridge from the official hook surface
- Users upgrading from
1.0.0must stop relying on thebefore_specifyclarify bridge and migrate to the remaining supported hook surface. - This release removes a previously supported hook/command path; treat upgrades from
1.0.0as a breaking change even though the published tag is1.1.0.
