v0.8.0

Added

• cargo install tricks --locked installs New Tricks from crates.io, where every release is published. tricks upgrade leaves a Cargo install to Cargo.

Changed

• The crate is at the root of the repository: from a checkout, cargo install --path . --locked (was --path crates/newtricks).

v0.7.1

Fixes found in the 0.6.1 review (#11), carried over to 0.7.

Security

• Published provenance never contains credentials or local paths. PROVENANCE.md and the Tricks-Source: commit trailer name the source repo by its origin remote with any user:token@ removed, or local:<folder> when there is no remote. Before, a credentialed remote URL was published as is, and a source repo without a remote published its local path. If you published from a repo whose origin URL contains a token, check your distribution repository's history and rotate that token.

Fixes

• tricks update exits 1 when it stops on conflicts or a skill fails (--dry-run still exits 0), so scripts and CI notice.
• Inside an experiment's worktree, tricks diff <skill> compares that checkout: working and head are the experiment's.
• Links that are copies say copy instead of live in link, list --links and the VS Code Links view.
• VS Code: tricks.toml completion and validation now match the configuration New Tricks reads (policies review, pinned, paused; lint.strict-spec; removed keys such as use dropped). A unit test keeps them in step.

v0.7.0

Experiments

tricks experiment replaces edit, use and merge. An experiment is one skill on its own branch, experiment/<skill>/<name>, checked out in .tricks/work/.

tricks experiment start changelog-writer@terse          # prints the skill's path in the worktree
tricks link changelog-writer@terse --to ~/code/my-app   # this project's agents load it, live
tricks experiment commit changelog-writer@terse -m "Terser output"
tricks experiment merge changelog-writer@terse          # or --pr; also: list, discard, shell

merge is a normal git merge --no-ff of the whole branch, then removes the branch and worktree (--keep to keep them). --pr pushes the branch and opens a pull request; run it again to push review fixes. use, tricks.work.toml, draft/<skill> and skill-only merges (--whole-branch) are gone.

What a link deploys

• link <skill>: the skill in your main checkout as it is, whatever branch is checked out, uncommitted edits included. Links no longer stay on the committed version during tricks update.
• link <skill>@<experiment|branch>: that branch's checkout, live. A branch that isn't checked out anywhere gets a worktree in .tricks/work/, removed with its last link.
• link <skill>@<tag|commit>: a frozen snapshot in the store.

Also

• Git commands that change your repositories are printed on stderr as $ git … (-v for all of them, -q or --json for none).
• unlink and untry without a skill (or with --all), and experiment discard when it would lose work, ask for confirmation (--yes to skip).
• Agents are detected on first run and written to your user config. At user scope a skill goes into the fewest agent directories that reach all of them, so no agent loads it twice.
• create -b <branch> and vendor -b <branch> switch the source repo to a branch first.
• search --sort relevance|installs|stars|updated|name, --min-installs, --min-stars, and --facets to see how matches spread over categories, catalogs, owners, licences and trust.
• "User scope" replaces "user level" throughout; --global is unchanged.
• VS Code extension: Start, Commit, Merge and Discard Experiment, and Open Experiment Folder.
