v0.4.0 — Decisions stop slipping through the cracks

What's new

Decision Lifecycle + Decision Radar

Decisions become status-carrying records (proposed → active → superseded / expired / rejected), each with an owner and a review date. A weekly Decision Radar surfaces what's active, what's stale, what conflicts, what's blocking, and the 3 decisions to make this week. No more "wait, did we decide X or Y?"

Signals, an ingestion layer

Daily signal sweeps (AM 07:30 / PM 18:00) read email and Slack (optional Notion and Google Drive) and distill them into structured signals: decisions, commitments, questions, risks, deadlines. Real decisions and commitments get promoted to candidates for the Radar. Read-only: it captures and flags, it never sends. Raw dumps stay private and gitignored; only the watermark file is tracked.

Pipeline, a sales / CRM layer

A new pipeline/ module (your sales rules, follow-up templates in your voice, a deal radar) plus a pipeline-deal-radar task that feeds the daily brief, and a bundled pipeline-followup skill that drafts follow-ups from the deal's email thread. Draft-only, never sends.

Also in this release

• Scheduled tasks: 10 → 14 (signal sweep AM/PM, decision radar, pipeline deal radar).
• founder-daily-brief now folds in the pipeline and doc-change lines, so it stays the single morning surface.
• New worked-example data under examples/yempik/ (decisions + signals).
• Docs, .gitignore and manifests aligned; marketplace and plugin versions bumped to 0.4.0.

v0.3.0 - Senior Strategy Architect

This release adds Senior Strategy Architect as a bundled cowork-os skill.

cowork-os now does more than preserve operating context: it can also help Claude turn vague strategic asks into decision-grade plans. When a user asks for strategy, GTM, growth, marketing, pricing, positioning, sales, product, fundraising, partnerships, or “what should I do?”, the new skill routes the request through a structured strategy method instead of returning a generic list of tactics.

What's new

Senior Strategy Architect skill

A new bundled skill is now available inside the cowork-os plugin:

• diagnoses the real constraint before suggesting actions;
• selects the right strategic playbook for the request;
• asks only high-leverage questions when context is missing;
• makes trade-offs explicit;
• produces a concrete operating plan with metrics, risks, first actions, and a “do not do” list;
• runs an anti-fluff quality check before final output.

The skill includes 14 domain playbooks covering business, GTM, growth, marketing, product, brand positioning, pricing, sales, content, retention, fundraising, competitive strategy, marketplace/platform strategy, partnerships, and community.

Better capability discovery

The cowork-os capability catalog and skills catalog now surface senior-strategy-architect as a first-party bundled skill, so Claude can proactively use it when the user needs strategy rather than tactics.

Why it matters

A company brain is not only memory. It also needs judgment.

With this release, cowork-os gets a stronger strategic layer: the workspace keeps decisions, context, open questions, and next actions in files, while the new skill helps turn messy business questions into clear choices and executable plans.

Included in this release

• New bundled skill: senior-strategy-architect
• 14 strategy playbooks
• Strategy routing references
• Intake question bank
• Anti-fluff rules
• Output rubric
• Strategy templates
• Trigger evals and sample prompts
• Updated README references
• Updated capabilities.md
• Updated skills/README.md

Install

/plugin marketplace add yempik-ai/cowork-os
/plugin install cowork-os@cowork-os

v0.2.0 - Build a company brain your team owns

cowork-os grows from "a Cowork workspace with memory" into what it was always for: a company brain your team owns — the decisions, context and processes your work runs on, in plain Markdown you can read, correct and govern. Not a memory engine, not a vendor you rent.

New

• Knowledge Transfer skill + /cowork-os:knowledge-transfer: an objective-first interview that captures the tacit know-how in a person's head and writes it into the workspace as processes, rules with a source, glossary and open questions. This is how the brain gets built from people, not just files.
• A real elicitation engine, not a questionnaire: after a few standard questions it builds each follow-up from your last answer — starts from a real case, pounces on hedge words ("usually", "it depends"), contrasts with a novice, separates the official process from the real one, and reconstructs the workflow for you to correct.
• Process capture in onboarding: /cowork-os:install ends by offering to capture your most at-risk process with a bus-factor question ("if your most experienced person were away a week, what breaks first?"). ~15 min, skippable.
• context/processes/: the home for how work actually gets done.
• Proactive by default: offers to turn recurring work into scheduled routines and repeatable jobs into custom skills.

Changed

• Repositioned to "build a company brain you own": README, banner, demo GIF, social preview, description and topics.

Why it matters: the model is a commodity; the moat is your company's context, and context you rent isn't yours. cowork-os is the open way to build one you keep.

cowork-os v0.1.1

Patch release.

Fixes the plugin manifest so it passes claude plugin validate: a YAML frontmatter bug in a command file was silently dropping the command metadata. No functional changes to the OS, the commands, or the templates.

Install: in Claude, Customize > Plugins > Add marketplace > from a repository > yempik-ai/cowork-os, then install the cowork-os plugin.

cowork-os v0.1.0

cowork-os is an open-source operating system for Claude Cowork: it turns a Cowork project into a workspace with memory (folder conventions plus a living-memory protocol), with three modules (LinkedIn Growth OS, Missions, Scheduled tasks).

What's new in v0.1.0

• cowork-os is now an installable plugin. Install it from the app in a few clicks, no copying files. It adds an always-on core skill (operating rules plus living memory) and six slash commands: /cowork-os:install, memory-update, linkedin-editor, mission, weekly-pulse, process-inbox.
• The full OS template ships as before: folder structure, project instructions, capabilities catalog, and a sanitized real workspace in examples/yempik.

Two ways to use it

• Install as a plugin (recommended): in Claude, open Customize > Plugins > Personal plugins > "+" > Add marketplace > Add from a repository, and enter yempik-ai/cowork-os. Then install the cowork-os plugin and run /cowork-os:install.
• Copy the template: copy the folder into a Cowork project and paste INSTALL.md. See GETTING_STARTED.md.
