v2.0.1

Install

• Claude desktop app (macOS): download monkeybread-mbs-plugin.skill below and double-click it.
• Claude.ai in a browser, as a single skill: Customize → Skills → upload monkeybread-mbs-plugin.zip below.
• Claude Code, claude.ai and Cowork as a plugin: install monkeybread-mbs-plugin from the cadenceux plugin marketplace (see the README).

monkeybread-mbs-plugin-v2.0.1.skill / .zip are the same files under versioned names. Don't install Source code (zip): it's a snapshot of the repository, not a packaged skill.

Packaging fix for GitHub installs, using cadenceux-skill-creator 2.1.2. No change to the skill's instructions or reference data.

Fixed

• GitHub source zips no longer install as a plugin. The repository root carries .claude-plugin/plugin.json for the marketplace, so Code → Download ZIP and Source code (zip) looked like a plugin to the Claude desktop app. A .gitattributes now leaves .claude-plugin/, evals/, maintainer/ and the git dotfiles out of those archives. The marketplace is unaffected.

Changed

• README install section links straight to the latest release's .skill and .zip and warns against the source zips.
• Releases now also attach unversioned monkeybread-mbs-plugin.skill and monkeybread-mbs-plugin.zip so the README links stay stable.

Verified

• validate_skill.py clean on the folder and on both release archives.
• Evals not re-run: no instruction or data change since the 2026-10-11 run.

v2.0.0

Install

• Claude desktop app: download monkeybread-mbs-plugin.skill below and double-click it.
• Claude.ai or Claude Desktop → Customize → Skills → upload: upload monkeybread-mbs-plugin.zip below.
• Claude Code / Cowork: install monkeybread-mbs-plugin from the cadenceux plugin marketplace (see the README).

The versioned files (monkeybread-mbs-plugin-v2.0.0.skill / .zip) are the same skill. Don't install Source code (zip): it's a snapshot of the repository, not a packaged skill.

Rebuilt for the Claris Agentic Development Toolkit (ADT) and Anthropic's skill authoring best
practices, using cadenceux-skill-creator 2.0.0, against MBS Plugin 16.4.

Changed

• Catalog rebuilt from a fresh live crawl for MBS Plugin 16.4 (released 22 September 2026):
  7,859 functions across 245 components (up from 7,807), 400 deprecated (up from 396), status
  free 2,586 / licensed 4,698 / unknown 575. No prerelease functions. The site's index.md
  counter reads 7,971; the residual is not linked from any listing page, as before.
• Clipboard XML removed. Every example is now a label plus readable script (rendered
  from the vendor's snippet by maintainer/render_script.py); the text_code / xml_code pair
  is gone, and fmxmlsnippet blocks the parser had swept into 272 function descriptions are
  stripped. With ADT, scripts go into the file directly.
• Descriptions cleaned. On 859 pages the parser had run the examples, see-also list, release
  notes, blog titles and page footer into description; each is now cut at the first of those
  sections (trim_description in the build). With the XML gone, the catalog shrinks from 23 MB
  to 13 MB.
• No add-on prices. DynaPDF, XL and Saxon add-on text names the licence and sends users to
  Monkeybread for pricing, so the skill can't quote stale figures.
• Frontmatter to the CadenceUX standard (third-person description with "Use when" and "Not
  for", no counts, license, compatibility, metadata.author); .claude-plugin/plugin.json
  added. Counts now live only in references/index.json.
• Build tools moved to maintainer/ with a README; build_catalog.py reads the skill
  version from VERSION and uses the renderer. The SKILL.md body drops the regeneration detail.
• Evals rewritten with must / must_not and near-misses; the stale 16.3 prerelease case is
  replaced by add-on and no-XML cases.

Verified

• The integrated build (cached pages, renderer in the pipeline) produced function entries
  identical to the hand-processed catalog for all 7,859 functions.
• Evals on Haiku, Sonnet and Opus: 5/5 each (evals/results-2026-10-11.md).
• Release notes page reports 16.4 as the latest version (checked 2026-10-11).

v1.4

MBS Plugin 16.3 released (21 Jul 2026) — catalog rebuilt to confirm the site against the new baseline.

• All 39 functions flagged prerelease: true in v1.3 verified individually against Monkeybread's own 16.3 release notes, then cleared — prerelease_function_count is now 0.
• plugin_version_released_at_build moves 16.2 → 16.3.
• Catalog size unchanged: 7,807 functions across 245 components, 396 deprecated. Nothing new documented beyond the 16.3 set since the last build.
• Removed a stray duplicate build_catalog.py that had drifted to the repo root (the real one lives in scripts/).

See CHANGELOG.md for full details.

v1.3

Replaced the docset pipeline with a live-site crawl. The vendor now publishes
every documentation page as clean markdown

All 7,370 functions

Extended to all 7,370 functions
