knitbrain v0.7.0 — the onboard release
The brain stops waking up blank. 34 MCP tools (was 33). Backward-compatible.
Highlights
knitbrain onboard— the front door. The CLI scans the repo into the
knowledge graph and imports this project's past Claude sessions into the wiki
(pages + spine) + mines learnings. The newknitbrain_onboardMCP tool
runs the agent-driven intent interview: it returns 5 questions, the agent asks
them, then writes a Project Charter — a claim-lined wiki page surfaced
every session — plus a constraints skill whose guardrails propagate to spawned
agents. The loop is shaped to your project, not generic. (Fixes the old silent
onboardno-op.)- Honest context meter. The window is configurable
(KNITBRAIN_WINDOW_TOKENS) and auto-heals: on a large-context model the meter
no longer pins to a false 100% / "save a handoff now." The token count was
always real; now the percentage is too. - Terse brain-writes (opt-in).
KNITBRAIN_TERSE_STORE=1(default off):
learning summaries and skill bodies are terse-rewritten before persist,
reusing the existingcompressProse— one transform, not two — and never
touching code, paths, numbers, orclaim:lines. Output-side terse stays the
separate prompt-level mode. - Cross-platform + cleanup.
