v0.1.5

Changed

• Clarify README, GitHub Pages, LLM metadata, and plugin descriptions around the scenario-targeted answer flow: scenario-targeted practices when the user provides context, general production baseline when they do not, and no live web browsing for ordinary answers.

v0.1.4

Changed

• Add answer-style guidance to SKILL.md: target recommendations to the user scenario when one is provided; otherwise give a general production baseline instead of dumping every practice.

v0.1.3

Changed

• Strengthen SKILL.md instructions so ordinary best-practice answers use the local catalog and cite existing source URLs without opening AWS docs or doing live web searches.
• Move the no-web instruction to the start of the skill description so it survives shortened skill descriptions, and clarify that source URLs should be copied from local Markdown instead of opened.

v0.1.2

Added

• GitHub Pages landing page under docs/ with SEO metadata, catalog coverage summary, extraction process, refresh process, install commands, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and llms.txt.
• GitHub Actions workflow to deploy the docs/ directory to GitHub Pages.

Changed

• Clarify in the README, skill router, plugin manifests, Pages site, and LLM metadata that this is an independent, unofficial project and not affiliated with or endorsed by AWS.
• Remove the orange AWS badge from the GitHub Pages header.

v0.1.1

[0.1.1] - 2026-07-05

Changed

• README quickstart: use the claude plugin/codex plugin CLI syntax
  consistently for both tools, and split usage into direct invocation
  (/aws-best-practices standalone, /aws-best-practices:aws-best-practices
  as a plugin, or referencing aws-best-practices in a Codex CLI prompt) and
  indirect invocation (asking a natural-language question, which triggers the
  skill automatically).

v0.1.0

[0.1.0] - 2026-07-05

Added

• Repository skeleton: SKILL.md router, MAINTENANCE.md, CI.
• catalog.json source of truth: 208 services across 23 categories + 9 general docs.
• scripts/check.py validator + diff-checker (coverage, conformance, links,
  baseline diff, index generation).
• GENERATE.md: a portable, tool-agnostic prompt for the generation loop,
  copy-paste into any terminal coding agent's chat (Claude Code, Codex CLI,
  etc.), no dependency on Claude Code's slash-command mechanism.
• Full content generation: all 217 catalog entries (208 services + 9 general
  docs) researched against official AWS documentation, each practice bullet
  source-linked; verified with scripts/check.py --strict (0 errors) and a
  full network link check (0 broken links across ~3,200 URLs).
• scripts/check.py --stale [category] [--stale-days N]: freshness check that
  reads each file's trailing last_reviewed date and flags entries missing it
  or older than the threshold (default 180 days); surfaced as a non-blocking
  summary line in the default check.py run too.
• REFRESH.md: a portable prompt (sibling of GENERATE.md) for the periodic
  maintenance pass. Diffs catalog.json against AWS's current service list
  to catch new/renamed/retired services, then re-reviews entries flagged by
  --stale against current official docs.
• Catalog audit against the live AWS service list: added 20 services confirmed
  missing (e.g. ROSA, Amazon File Cache, Amazon VPC Lattice, AWS Verified Access,
  AWS Artifact, AWS Well-Architected Tool, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore).
• Plugin installability for both Claude Code (.claude-plugin/plugin.json +
  .claude-plugin/marketplace.json) and Codex CLI (.codex-plugin/plugin.json
  • .agents/plugins/marketplace.json), verified end to end with
    claude plugin marketplace add/install and codex plugin marketplace add/add. Manual git clone into a skills directory remains as a backup
    install method.

Changed

• Renamed catalog entries to match current official AWS product names: Amazon
  GameLift → Amazon GameLift Servers; Amazon WorkSpaces Web → Amazon WorkSpaces
  Secure Browser; Amazon AppStream 2.0 → Amazon WorkSpaces Applications; Route 53
  Application Recovery Controller → Amazon Application Recovery Controller (ARC).
• Recategorized AWS AppFabric (→ Business Applications) and Amazon Application
  Recovery Controller (→ Networking & Content Delivery) to match AWS's current
  product taxonomy.

Removed

• Dropped catalog entries for services confirmed fully retired by AWS: Amazon
  QLDB, AWS OpsWorks, AWS RoboMaker, AWS IoT Analytics, AWS IoT Events. The
  robotics category was removed as a result (RoboMaker was its only entry).
• Dropped _TEMPLATE.md: orphaned once GENERATE.md started embedding the
  file format spec directly (self-contained by design), and unreferenced by
  any other doc.
