v1.0.0 — Initial release (retroactively tagged)
Note: This release is tagged retroactively against commit
0e3d60d. The repo went straight from v1.0.0 work to v1.1.0 before the first public release was cut; this tag exists for completeness of the version history. New installs should use v1.1.0 which adds the Warden role and the/goalcontract on top of everything here.
Initial installable form of claude-layers — the four-layer behavioral configuration system for Claude Code.
What's in v1.0.0
- Layer 1 (
CLAUDE.md) — eight numbered behavioral guidelines drawn from Karpathy's late-2025 Claude Code notes (HN discussion). Read before write, surface confusion, hold position under challenge, surgical edits. - Layer 2 — three role overlays:
FORGE.md(builder) — implements specs, refuses to architectQUILL.md(writer) — writes specs/docs, refuses to write codeSCOUT.md(investigator) — traces and reports, refuses to decide the fix
- Layer 3 — project overlays:
PROJECT_TEMPLATE.mdplus three reference examples (PROJECT_WEBAPP,PROJECT_API,PROJECT_CLI) - Orchestrator (
ARGENT.md) — composes context across layers and routes operator requests to the right specialist - Bash installer —
--minimal,--yes,--helpflags; idempotent - Docs —
LAYERING_MODEL.md,ROUTING_PATTERNS.md,CREATING_OVERLAYS.md

→ v1.1.0 adds the Warden verifier role, the /goal manifest + verification protocol, and a binding orchestrator dispatch contract that refuses to spawn generic workers.
