Agentbriefer v1 🎉

Agentbriefer v1 is the first stable release of the project policy compiler for AI coding agents.

Highlights

• Interactive project initialization with editable detection across 28 ecosystems.
• One typed agentbriefer.yaml for developer style, project policy, stop rules, custom guidance, and outputs.
• Native instruction generation for Claude Code, AGENTS.md consumers, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot.
• Safe managed-block synchronization for files that also contain handwritten guidance.
• Reusable developer profiles and named skill profiles.
• Seven embedded skills with role and stack recommendation filters.
• Read-only diagnostics for policy conflicts, missing files, unknown skills, and output drift.
• Native release artifacts for macOS, Linux, and Windows plus shell, PowerShell, and npm installers.

Compatibility notes

The v1 configuration file is named agentbriefer.yaml. Skill content is bundled with the installed binary; skill update re-materializes that catalog and does not fetch a remote marketplace.

doctor findings are diagnostic in v1 and do not change the command's successful exit status.

Upgrade checklist

npm install -g agentbriefer@latest
agentbriefer --version
agentbriefer skill update
agentbriefer doctor

Review synchronized output changes before committing them, especially when upgrading from a build that predates skills.
