Unreleased


7.7.0 — 2026-03-05

New

  • Sprint planning skill — Assess your project's progress and build a prioritized sprint plan with /pm-sprint-plan. Calculates completion percentages across spec, scaffold, code, test, and infra dimensions, classifies your biggest bottleneck, and builds a focused execution queue of up to 12 tasks.
  • Team sprint orchestration — Run full development sprints from planning to PR with /team-sprint. Automatically chains sprint planning with team execution — creates a cycle branch, spawns AI teammates for each task group, runs verification gates, and opens a PR when the sprint is complete.
  • Sprint track for team-ship — New --track sprint option for /team-ship that reads sprint plan artifacts and dynamically assembles Agent Teams based on the prioritized execution queue, with verification gates between task groups.

7.6.1 — 2026-02-28

Fixed

  • Cleaner commit messages — Removed auto-generated co-author attribution lines from commit template examples.
  • README badge links — Fixed badge URLs and consolidated duplicate changelog entries.

7.6.0 — 2026-02-26

New

  • Storybook story generation — Automatically generate Storybook stories for your components with /frontend-story-generate. Detects component variants, covers all states (loading, error, empty, success), and works with or without MCP servers.
  • Visual component verification — Verify components look correct using Playwright screenshots and accessibility analysis with /frontend-visual-verify. Two modes: full visual verification (with Playwright) or code-review-only when Playwright isn't available.
  • UI bug fix workflow — Diagnose and fix UI bugs with /frontend-component-fix. Generates safe patch files (never edits your source directly) and offers a one-click flow to integrate and verify the fix.
  • OpenAPI-powered development — 12 skills now accept --contract to read your OpenAPI spec and generate API-aware code. Frontend scaffold produces typed API clients (Orval), mock servers (MSW), and API docs (Scalar). Team workflows flow contracts from backend to frontend to QA automatically.
  • Product changelog — Full product changelog covering all versions, now available on the documentation website.

Improved

  • Smarter frontend skills — Design and scaffold skills now generate Storybook stories alongside components when Storybook is detected.
  • Better project initialization/jaan-init detects your UI stack (React, Vue, Svelte, Storybook, shadcn) and suggests relevant setup.
  • Build verification/dev-verify checks Storybook builds and dev server health alongside your main pipeline.
  • Team orchestration — Frontend teammates generate stories as part of delivery. New visual QA role verifies components. QA now validates API contracts. Full track flows API specs from backend to frontend to QA.
  • Design audit accuracy/detect-design assesses MCP readiness and detects Storybook tooling signals for better recommendations.
  • API-aware skills across the pipeline — Test cases, PR reviews, task breakdowns, and project assembly skills now understand your API contract for smarter, more accurate output.
