v3.3.1 (2025-10-28)

Improvements

  • Updated brainstorming skill to require autonomous recon before questioning, encourage recommendation-driven decisions, and prevent agents from delegating prioritization back to humans.
  • Applied writing clarity improvements to brainstorming skill following Strunk's "Elements of Style" principles (omitted needless words, converted negative to positive form, improved parallel construction).

Bug Fixes

  • Clarified writing-skills guidance so it points to the correct agent-specific personal skill directories (~/.claude/skills for Claude Code, ~/.codex/skills for Codex).

Changes

This release improves the clarity and conciseness of the brainstorming skill by applying Strunk's writing principles. The skill maintains all its functionality while becoming more direct and easier to read.

Key writing improvements:

  • Removed needless words ("already", "genuinely", etc.)
  • Converted negative constructions to positive form
  • Improved parallel construction in lists
  • Made language more direct and concrete

These changes make the skill more accessible and reduce cognitive load when reading instructions.
