v0.5.0 — Verbs

Released: 2026-07-11

Changed

• The product name is Verbs. The repository, display name, and canonical
  environment prefix are now panda850819/verbs, Verbs, and VERBS_.
• The active roadmap now tracks a small 0.x evidence line and explicit v1.0
  gates. The retired persona, vault, personal-OS, and lifecycle milestones no
  longer appear as current work.
• v0.5.0 begins a new Verbs version epoch. Existing v1.* and
  v4.0.0-rc.1 tags/releases remain immutable legacy history.

Install

Claude Code:

claude plugin marketplace add panda850819/verbs --scope user
claude plugin install verbs@verbs --scope user

Codex:

codex plugin marketplace add panda850819/verbs --json
codex plugin add verbs@verbs --json

Generic npx skills installation is not advertised yet. It discovers the 14
skills but drops shared root contracts when it installs each skill directory in
isolation. Self-contained generic installs are tracked in
#189.

Compatibility

• Moving from 4.0.0-rc.1 to 0.5.0 is an explicit uninstall/reinstall;
  SemVer sorts 0.5.0 below the RC, so an ordinary upgrade is unsafe.
• VERBS_* is canonical. Documented PANDA_VERBS_* path and verify-gate
  variables remain read-only fallbacks through v0.5.x. The retired
  scripts/pandastack shim also forwards its two legacy path variables.
• The plugin selector and namespace stay verbs@verbs and /verbs:*.

Distribution

• GitHub Releases contain the changelog and install commands, with no custom
  tarball or checksum. GitHub's standard source archives remain available.
• Exact-tag archive extraction stays an internal test of the packaged tree; an
  asset is added only when a separate consumer needs its own format.

Verified

• Manifest-driven Claude, Codex, and Agents metadata agree on version 0.5.0,
  repository identity, and the exact 14-skill surface.
• Release preflight extracts and tests the exact tagged tree before the
  annotated tag is pushed, while the public release remains metadata-only.
• Disposable Claude and Codex profiles install and invoke the exact tagged
  artifact; real profiles use the same explicit reinstall path.
