Version 0.3.1 brings concise communication guidance and Grok Build support to the stable npm channel.

Concise answers and guided decisions

  • EWAI's managed project instructions prioritise correctness and usefulness, then brevity: the result or recommendation first, with less repetition and routine narration.
  • Decision requests explain the options and consequences, then give a recommendation with its reason and a suggested response when useful.
  • Unclear requests are refined with a recommended interpretation and the assumptions that matter.
  • The guidance is designed to reduce unnecessary output. Tool-result compaction is still planned, and token or cost savings haven't been measured yet.

Grok Build and coding provider settings

  • Grok Build joins Codex, Claude Code and Google Antigravity as a supported host, with native companion launch, skills and project MCP setup.
  • Choose a primary coding CLI, independent reviewers and an eligible pool for unattended work in Configuration → Coding providers or with ewai providers. Each CLI keeps its own model choice by default.
  • Grok can run isolated coding, read-only review and restricted proposal workers. Each mode passes an offline conformance check before dispatch.
  • Save an xAI key privately, outside the project, through the dashboard or a hidden terminal prompt.

Build approval, required reviews and Manual QA are unchanged.

Update

npm install --save-dev @thebackstoryis/engineering-with-ai
npx ewai

Initialisation or the next check-in refreshes the managed block in AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, preserving project-authored guidance outside it. Start a fresh host conversation afterwards.

Validation: the full suite passed (889 passed, 10 skipped) with publication boundary, syntax and focused Team Hub coverage checks. The package is published with npm provenance.
