v1.7.0 — Proactive Library Usage & Refined Positioning
What's New
Proactive Library Usage
- The
agentlib-knowledgeskill now auto-triggers on domain-specific coding tasks — not just explicit research questions - Expanded trigger patterns: writing code involving domain-specific parameters, protocols, standards, or configurations; encountering technical terms from the library; methodology and best practices questions
- Narrowed exclusions: "general programming tasks" instead of blanket "code editing" exclusion, so domain-specific coding triggers the library while generic tasks don't
Refined Positioning & Documentation
- New README pitch: "Curate your knowledge library. Your agent works from sources you trust." — focused on curation, persistent knowledge, proactive integration, and citable answers
- Replaced the O(n²) token-efficiency opening with a user-centric value proposition
- Four key pillars: your sources/your curation, always available, proactive not reactive, citable answers
Demo Screenshots
- Added proactive query demo: agent automatically consults library when asked about BOM maturity dimensions
- Added collapsible library-researcher navigation view showing the full tool chain (NAVIGATION.md → concepts.json → chunks → synthesized answer)
Navigation Diagram
- Redesigned "How agents navigate the library" diagram from vertical ASCII to horizontal Mermaid flowchart — wider and more readable
Hero Animation
- README hero image replaced with looping GIF demo (800px, 15fps)
Session Summary
This release caps a productive session that also shipped v1.5.0 (content-aware chunking, PDF table/image extraction) and v1.6.0 (parallel ingestion, auto-recovery, large book support). Together these three releases transform AgentLib from a basic chunking pipeline into a production-ready knowledge layer for AI agents.
Across v1.5.0–v1.7.0:
- Parser: PDF tables extracted as clean markdown, images extracted with vision-based summarization
- Chunker: Tables and code fences kept atomic with smart splitting
- Ingestion: 10x faster via parallel summarization, auto-recovery on failure, batched concept extraction
- Agent integration: Proactive library usage without explicit user commands
- Testing: 98 tests passing (up from ~34 at session start)
- Issues: #8 implemented, #9-12 closed as not needed, #16 fixed
