Releases
v2.0.2
Overdrive v2.0.2
Focused skill-intake release on top of v2.0.1. No ovd-plan state semantics changed.
Added
- Added Addy Osmani's pinned engineering-method skills:
interview-me,doubt-driven-development,source-driven-development,
api-and-interface-design,code-simplification,
documentation-and-adrs,performance-optimization,
test-driven-development, anddebugging-and-error-recovery. - Added Matt Pocock's pinned
grill-meandgrillingskills. - Updated Muratcan Koylan's context-engineering source and added
harness-engineeringandself-improvement-loops. - Expanded the official Anthropic skills source with
algorithmic-art,
canvas-design,claude-api,skill-creator,
web-artifacts-builder,webapp-testing, and the official
theme-factory. - Added four Overdrive-authored wrapper skills:
brag-video,autoresearch-harness,clone-website-guide, and
fact-checker.
Safety Notes
- Raw
latent-spaces/bragis not copied because no clear redistribution
license was visible during review; Overdrive ships an original
brag-videowrapper instead. karpathy/autoresearchis treated as inspiration for
autoresearch-harness; Overdrive does not install dependencies, start
long loops, or spend GPU/API budget without explicit user approval.JCodesMore/ai-website-cloner-templateis treated as a fresh-template
workflow, not a global skill.clone-website-guiderequires
public/authorized targets and rejects phishing, impersonation, credential
harvesting, and trademark misuse.hesreallyhim/awesome-claude-coderemains research/link-only because it is
a curated list rather than a portable skill source and its license is not a
fit for redistribution.- The Reddit-linked fact-checker path was unavailable, so Overdrive ships an
originalfact-checkerskill.
Verification
- Manifest target: 160 unique skills: 23 local, 136 pinned upstream GitHub,
and 1 installer-backed skill. - Router smoke and benchmark coverage now includes the new skill families and
conflict rules. - Package and archive checks continue to exclude
.overdrive/,.DS_Store,
tarballs, old zips, secrets, auth state, local runtime state, and
unsupported vendored third-party material.
v2.0.1
Overdrive v2.0.1
Docs and branding patch. No installer, CLI, or ovd-plan behavior changed from v2.0.0.
Why This Patch Exists
v2.0.0 shipped correct but unpolished: an early README draft with placeholder-feeling copy, diagrams with a blue-tinted background and gradient panels instead of the logo's flat black-and-silver palette, and a couple of stale links. This patch brings the published package in line with what the project actually looks and reads like today.
Highlights
- Rebuilt all three README diagrams to match the Overdrive logo exactly: flat black backgrounds and content boxes (no gradients), a flat silver border on every box, and a real cinematic lens flare (bright core, crisp streak, soft glow) on the headline wordmarks instead of a faint line.
- New hero tagline and rewritten intro paragraph describing the actual pipeline: global instructions built on Karpathy's system prompt, the 137-skill catalog, the skill router, and the project state management system. Dropped inaccurate "operating layer" phrasing.
- Added a paragraph on who Overdrive is for: simple to install, runs quietly in the background,
ovdcommands kept deliberately small, and designed to build on top of what modern models already do well rather than override it. - Added small icon links (X, LinkedIn, GitHub) near the top of the README for easy access to Stefan's profiles.
- Named
ovd-workflowandovd-planconsistently as the project state management system across the README and docs, replacing inconsistent "project-state layer" / "project-management layer" phrasing. - Added a "Why leaf?" explanation of
ovd-plannode naming to the README and docs/ovd-plan-v2.md: a leaf is the smallest implementable unit, deliberately not called a task, step, phase, or action, so the plan tree can take whatever shape a project needs. - Added a skills-provenance section: 22 pinned upstream open-source sources plus the 19 skills built specifically for Overdrive, counted directly from
manifest.json. Added a docs/README.md index grouping the rest of the documentation by what a reader is trying to do. - Removed em dashes and other AI-tell phrasing from public-facing prose.
Credits
ovd-workflow, the project state management system, was designed by Eugen Bulboaca (GitHub).- The installed global operating guide is based on Andrej Karpathy's Claude system prompt, adapted to fit Overdrive, via multica-ai/andrej-karpathy-skills.
Fixes
- Two documentation links pointed at an internal
handoff/directory that was never shipped in the public repo; both now point at the real design record or a plain-text note. - The README's Safety/Updates section had dropped its uninstall command block during the v2.0.0 README rework; restored.
- The Claude Code plugin manifests (
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json,plugins/overdrive/.claude-plugin/plugin.json) still referenced a retired X handle; updated to the current one.
Verification
npm run consistency(1176 checks),npm run check,npm run test:smoke,npm run test:workflow,npm run eval:routernpm pack --dry-run- Diagram renders visually compared against the logo asset side by side; every gradient reference in the diagram SVGs confirmed to resolve (no missing defs).
Overdrive v2.0.0
Overdrive v2.0.0
Overdrive v2 adds a project state management system on top of the existing skill installer and router.
Highlights
- Added
ovd-plan: a structured project tree inOVERDRIVE.mdwith executable leaves, success criteria, dependencies, verification, and recursive closure. - Added the main v2 workflow commands:
/ovd-workflowfor setup, codebase mapping, requirements, preferences, and decisions./ovd-planfor deliberate planning, research, editing, and plan-quality checks./ovd-gofor orienting and executing active work./ovd-logfor progress capture, concerns, handoffs, and closure.
- Added
overdrive verify --planto audit project-state layout and plan health. - Reworked the README around a first-time-reader flow: what Overdrive is, install, what changes after install, the v2 mental model, common workflows, safety/privacy, and advanced internals.
- Moved
design-extractto a local compatibility skill so no upstream repository is required at install time. The previously pinned upstream Git source was unreachable during v2 pin verification; upstream distribution has since moved to thedesignlangnpm package. - Added
js-yamlas a runtime dependency for ovd-plan YAML parsing and hardened runtime dependency copying for npm/npx layouts. - Expanded CI and local tests for the v2 project-management pipeline.
- Rebuilt the README and all three diagrams around the v2 architecture, and reorganized secondary docs under
docs/for a cleaner repository root.
Audit Fixes
An independent pre-release audit (Claude Fable 5) reviewed installer safety, v2 state semantics, CLI surfaces, packaging, licensing, and release readiness. Fixes landed in this release:
- Hook setup no longer rewrites a malformed existing agent settings file (
~/.claude/settings.json,~/.gemini/settings.json,~/.codex/hooks.json). Install and uninstall now abort with a clear message and leave the file byte-identical, covered by a new regression test. ./update.shno longer aborts on stock macOS bash 3.2 (set -u+ empty argument arrays).- Uninstall removes the empty
~/.overdrive/scaffolding directories it created. - Stale "upstream unavailable" wording for
design-extractwas corrected across docs and notices.
Credits
ovd-workflow, the project state management system, was designed by Eugen Bulboaca (GitHub).- The installed global operating guide is based on Andrej Karpathy's Claude system prompt, adapted to fit Overdrive, via multica-ai/andrej-karpathy-skills.
Safety Notes
- No telemetry.
- No API keys, OAuth state, browser profiles, cookies, MCP secrets,
.envfiles, or account sessions are copied. - Installs remain non-destructive by default and use Overdrive-managed markers.
- A malformed existing settings file aborts hook setup instead of being replaced.
- Existing v1
.overdrive/layouts are detected and require explicit migration choices. - The release does not claim measured output-quality gains; router/scorecard tooling is included for validation, not marketing proof.
Verification
Release checks passed on the final release candidate:
npm run test:full(syntax, consistency, router benchmark, workflow, ovd-plan, smoke)./verify.shnpm audit --omit=dev(0 vulnerabilities)npm pack --dry-run+ package-content scans- local/global install dry-runs and real install → use → update → uninstall round-trips in a clean environment
- tracked artifact, secret-pattern, and personal-path scans (hidden files included)
Overdrive v1.0.2
v1.0.2 - 2026-06-06
- Removed pre-launch compatibility surfaces so the public package uses only canonical Overdrive names:
overdrive,ovd,overdrive-cli,.overdrive/,.overdrive.json,OVERDRIVE_WORKFLOW,/ovd-*, andovd-workflow. - Moved Stefan's README note to a top quote, added collapsible README sections for the installed global guide and
skill-router, and removed redundant public draft files. - Strengthened package and repository checks for tracked junk, local runtime state, obsolete brand surfaces, archive exclusions, and canonical install/uninstall behavior.
Overdrive v1.0.1
Overdrive v1.0.1
Small launch hotfix for the thin Claude Code plugin wrapper.
Fixed
- Fixed Claude Code marketplace/plugin manifests so
claude plugin validate, marketplace add, and plugin install pass with Claude's current plugin schema. - Added frontmatter metadata to the
/ovd-*helper commands included in the Claude plugin wrapper.
Notes
- Core Overdrive skill catalog and installer behavior are unchanged from v1.0.0.
- npm package:
overdrive-cli@1.0.1.
Overdrive v1.0.0
Overdrive v1.0.0 — an open-source, Mac-first, plug-and-play system that supercharges AI coding agents.
Install once across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Cursor, and shared .agents. You get:
- 137 curated specialist skills for design, animation, web/app development, SEO, research, security, launch, browser QA, and more.
- A selective skill-router that loads the minimum useful skills per task and logs its choices.
- ovd-workflow — local, gitignored
.overdrive/project memory for state, decisions, constraints, routes, knowledge vaults, and handoffs. - A Karpathy-based operating guide that keeps the agent thinking-first, objective, and verification-oriented.
Pinned, non-destructive, reversible. Apache-2.0 for Overdrive's original code; bundled third-party skills retain their own licenses and notices.
Upgrading from AgenticSupercharge: legacy markers, /as-* commands, and .agenticsupercharge/ state still work and migrate automatically to .overdrive/.
No performance benchmarks are claimed yet. A measured scorecard is planned for a v1.x follow-up.
v0.11.0 — Safe optional tool setup
- Changed the optional dependency policy from "document only" to "attempt safe setup during install, then fail open": Graphify, Claude Video/media helpers, and Design Extract browser support now get non-privileged installer attempts unless
--no-tool-installis set. - Added installer support for
graphifyy==0.1.14throughpipxor a managed user-space virtualenv, never globalpip,sudo, or--break-system-packages. - Added safe helper setup paths for
yt-dlp,ffmpeg, and Design Extract browser support while preserving runtime preflights, manual fallback commands, and no API-key collection. - Updated Graphify router/instruction guidance to prefer an existing project graph for codebase relationship questions, recommend Graphify's own watch/git-hook freshness flow when stale, and avoid any AgenticSupercharge background graph daemon.
- Strengthened global objectivity guidance against sycophancy and weak-premise feedback loops, including proactive challenge for consequential, ambiguous, or irreversible decisions.
- Updated docs, third-party notices, readiness checks, router catalog, and consistency tests for the v0.11 plug-and-play dependency policy.
AgenticSupercharge v0.10.0
v0.10.0 - 2026-06-02
- Added four pinned MIT upstream skills:
prompt-master,humanizer,design-extract, andclaude-video, raising the manifest to 136 unique skills. - Added safety transforms for
design-extractandclaude-videoso agents check availability, ask before setup, avoid writing secrets, and never auto-install packages, browsers, Homebrew/apt/winget/pip tooling, or MCPs. - Added an ethics note to
humanizerso humanizing preserves meaning and facts without deceptive authorship, fake lived experience, or removing required AI disclosure. - Added
agentic-supercharge usage,/as-usage, and workflow tests for local, read-only token usage reporting from Claude Code JSONL logs with best-effort AS route attribution and no prompt/message content printing. - Updated
skill-router, smoke checks, router benchmark cases, docs, third-party notices, verified sources, skill readiness, and consistency checks for the v0.10 manifest and new routing boundaries.
AgenticSupercharge v0.9.0 - Graphify Code Intelligence
v0.9.0 - 2026-05-31
- Added Safi Shamsi's MIT Graphify source pinned at
91f4d120b630ee35c79bf3c75ccd186870a808f9, importing one optionalgraphifycode/corpus intelligence skill. - Added installer support for upstream skills whose source file is lowercase
skill.md, normalizing to installedSKILL.md. - Added a Graphify-specific safety transform that removes upstream Python auto-install behavior, preserves optional setup guidance for
pip install graphifyy/pip install 'graphifyy[pdf]', and teaches agents to fall back to normal repo exploration when Graphify is unavailable. - Updated
skill-router, smoke checks, router benchmark cases, docs, third-party notices, verified sources, skill readiness, and consistency checks for the 132-skill v0.9 manifest.
AgenticSupercharge v0.8.0 - Context efficiency and prompt caching
v0.8.0 - 2026-05-31
- Added prompt-cache-friendly guidance and
docs/prompt-caching.mdwhile keeping caching controlled by the host runtime/harness. - Added AS-Workflow
preferences.mdfor lightweight per-project do-not rules and durable user preferences, with init/doctor/test coverage. - Strengthened global instructions for lean context, escalating ~60% / ~75% / ~85-90% context-budget heads-ups, native plan-mode versus
clarify-and-plan, and native orchestration instead of custom orchestrators. - Kept the catalog at 131 unique skills: v0.8 adds no new skills and keeps context skills router-selectable rather than always-on.
- Updated README examples, router/catalog guidance, attribution, and consistency checks for the context-efficiency release.
