v1.1.0 — README redesign & quick-start visuals
A documentation-only release. No code, schemas, or behavior changed since
v1.0.0 — the Meta-Skill regression suite still reports 121 passed. This
release polishes the project's front door: a fully restructured bilingual README
and three custom-generated quick-start diagrams.
SemVer: minor bump. The change set is documentation and assets only, with no
breaking changes and no new code surface — a minor version signals a visible,
user-facing improvement to the project's presentation.
What changed
README — full restructure (EN + 简体中文, 1:1 mirror)
The previous README had grown by accretion to 22 sections / 638 lines, and the
reliability section at the end read as a labeled patch rather than an integrated
part of the project. Both READMEs were rewritten from scratch:
- Leaner narrative — 638 → 399 lines (EN), 593 → 400 lines (ZH), modeled on
the structure of trending open-source READMEs (hero → why → quick-start-up-front
→ how-it-works → features). - Human usage front-loaded — a 3-step guide (Prepare → Run → Review) now sits
right at the top of Quick Start, with an ASCII-free visual and a plain-language
"what happens behind the scenes" explanation. - Reliability, integrated natively — the multi-judge review, dry-run gate,
cross-process crash recovery, and tamper-evident audit are now woven into the
How It Works section as built-in guarantees, with no internal jargon
(T3 / T4 / WP-13) leaking into the reader-facing flow. - Deep dives collapsed — repository layout and key-docs tables moved into
collapsible<details>blocks; the slide-walkthrough meta-section was removed
in favor of a link to the deck.
Quick Start — three new diagrams (Grok-generated)
The three ASCII-art boxes in Quick Start were replaced with real flat-vector
infographics, generated via the Grok CLI and color-matched to the existing
22 sanitized deck images (emerald #10B981 / #059669 + slate #6B7280 +
white) so the new art does not clash with the established visual identity.

qs3-behind-scenes.png |
linear behind-the-scenes arrow diagram | RUNNER → EVAL → DIAG → OPTIMIZE closed loop, with a blind-wall/lock isolation visual |
Design choices:
- Language-neutral — art carries only short English labels; long-form
explanation and the copyable directory tree stay in markdown/code blocks.
One image set serves both locales, so there is no bilingual image maintenance. - Reproducible — the exact Grok prompts and the locked design spec are saved
indocs/images/prompts/quickstart-style-spec.md; SVG sources for two of the
three diagrams are kept alongside the PNGs for future tweaks.
