Release list
v2.7.0 — One-command episodic memory setup
Episodic memory, now one command. Setting up MemPalace so grandfather/eve can recall why past decisions were made used to mean hand-running four commands and hand-building a fiddly ~/.claude/projects/-Users-... transcript path. Now it's a single skill.
/shipkit:connect-memory
Run it and it:
- detects what's already done and skips it (safe to re-run),
- installs MemPalace if missing (
uv/pipx), - registers it at user scope (so only the elder agents can reach it),
- auto-derives your transcript directory — the step you used to get wrong,
- splits concatenated transcripts, then backfills this project's history (dry-run first, then for real),
- reminds you to restart Claude Code.
Once per machine to install/register, once per project to backfill.
/shipkit:connect-memory # set it up for this project
/shipkit:connect-memory --wing myapp # override the wing name
/shipkit:connect-memory --reinstall # force re-install on a broken setup
/shipkit:setup now points you to it as a next step, so you discover the option instead of digging through docs.
Still opt-in
MemPalace stays unbundled (a separate package + ~300 MB model). Skip it and the elders fall back to git history for decision questions — nothing breaks. This release only automates the setup the docs already described by hand.

v2.6.0 — Spec-Driven Development
Spec-driven development comes to shipkit. The project knowledge layer now looks forward — specs and decision records become durable, verified .shipkit/ artifacts the elders read. This release folds in the 2.5.0 SDD core and the 2.6.0 completion work.
The three questions
On non-trivial work, two always-on rules put the spec-driven discipline in effect — what are we building (requirements in EARS) / how should it work (design as decision records) / how will we know it's done (acceptance criteria as tests, TDD/BDD-first).
Highlights
/shipkit:spec <feature>— guided interview through the three questions; writes.shipkit/specs/<feature>/{spec,design,tasks}.mdwith an approval gate on requirements and native Plan Mode before tasks./shipkit:decide— captures a project-wide decision as a five-part record (Context · Alternatives · Case-for · Case-against · Decision + a concrete falsifiability clause) in.shipkit/decisions/.- Falsifiability clauses make decisions queryable for staleness — ask
grandfather"are any past decisions now falsified?" and it checks each clause's condition against current reality. - Elders read
.shipkit/—grandfather/evetreat specs and decision records as first-class sources (verified records beatgit log/recall for "why");evesees open specs across the portfolio. - Spec-drift freshness hook — nudges once per accepted spec whose code has moved past it.
- Narrated capability playbooks — the User Guide now walks you through a new (greenfield) repo, a legacy/inherited repo, and using the elders, step by step.
Also
- Registry
Active Specscolumn soeveanswers "which projects have an open spec?" from the registry alone. /unsetupexplicitly never deletes.shipkit/— your specs and decisions are project work product.- Docs: a "How Shipkit Works" section clarifying what fires automatically vs. what you invoke.
