Completion of the namespace meta-skill architecture to suppress flat skill listings in the system prompt.

Optimizing AI model context window usage and improving skill discoverability by reducing prompt clutter.

This enhancement addresses a critical architectural deficiency: the failure to suppress flat skill listings despite a prior attempt to implement a namespace meta-skill architecture. The current state, where ~71 skill entries appear in the system prompt, directly contradicts the intended token opt...

Vertical MVP Slice mode for project planning and execution.

Shifting from horizontal (layer-by-layer) to vertical (end-to-end feature) planning to enable earlier validation and reduce architectural risk for solo developers using AI coding tools.

This feature proposal addresses a fundamental limitation in current project planning: the generation of "horizontal build plans" where no functional software exists until late in the development cycle. For solo developers leveraging AI coding tools, this delays validation and amplifies architectu...

PDF export functionality, specifically handling of non-ASCII characters.

Robust PDF generation supporting Unicode characters for A-share market data.

This issue highlights a critical localization failure in the PDF export feature. The system's inability to render Chinese characters ("股") due to font limitations ("helvetica" vs. Unicode) directly impacts usability for its stated A-share market context. This indicates a fundamental oversight in...

Implementation of branch protection rulesets for repository security and integrity.

Establishing robust CI/CD pipeline security, code quality, and governance through enforced branch protection.

This issue details a critical infrastructure upgrade: implementing comprehensive branch protection. The current state of zero protection, allowing force-pushes and admin-merges to bypass workflow gates, represents a significant security and code integrity vulnerability. The phased rollout (disabl...

Streamlining the research phase workflow by automatically reusing existing `RESEARCH.md` files.

Enhancing developer efficiency and reducing interactive prompts for common, non-destructive operations.

This enhancement targets developer friction by proposing to automate the reuse of existing `RESEARCH.md` files. The current interactive prompt (Update/View/Skip) for an already completed research phase introduces unnecessary steps, particularly when the intent is simply to proceed. By defaulting ...

Workflow recovery and state management after execution interruptions.

Robust, fault-tolerant workflow execution with clear recovery paths, preventing data loss or manual intervention.

This issue exposes a critical flaw in workflow resilience and state recovery. The system's inability to automatically resume partially executed phases after interruptions (e.g., token exhaustion, API disruption) leads to `current_phase` misalignment and potential data loss. The absence of a "Resu...
