What changed

v0.8.0 on GitHub Code changes since v0.7.0

Added

• Size budgets for what Claude reads per request: SKILL.md and the pattern catalog stay under 6,000 words together, and a common request under 11,000, checked on every pull request.
• An app testing checklist: twenty prompts to try in the Claude app before a release, with made-up Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, subtitle, LaTeX, and code files to attach.

Changed

• Word and slide extracts now show line breaks and tabs as \n and \t, so they can be kept when the text is rewritten.

Fixed

• The API eval runner skips cases that need Claude Code with a real repository, instead of failing them.
• Word files: line breaks and tabs inside a paragraph stay where they were, text boxes are no longer mixed into the paragraph around them, and tracked changes keep fields like dates and page numbers in place.
• Slides: soft line breaks inside a slide paragraph are kept, so words no longer run together.
• Messages from a spreadsheet: dates, percentages, and PIN codes come out the way the sheet shows them, two columns with the same heading no longer overwrite each other, row numbers in the report match the sheet, and non-UTF-8 CSV files get a plain message instead of a crash.
• Fillable PDFs: fields inside groups are really filled, and drop-downs accept the text shown on the form. Password-protected PDFs get a plain message instead of a crash.
• PDF to Word: numbered clauses keep their own numbers instead of turning into Word's automatic numbering, and odd characters in page text no longer crash it.
• The date check no longer mistakes words like "renewed" or "Simon" for weekdays, or opening hours like "Monday to Friday 9-5" for dates, and handles 29 February with no year.
• Change reports no longer crash on text copied from PDFs, the dyslexia layout reaches text inside links and nested tables, and word counts treat Windows line breaks the same everywhere.

v0.7.0 on GitHub Code changes since v0.6.1

Added

• Quick options: when a request is unclear, like "help with this" with some text, Claude offers two to four short choices. In Claude Code they're tap-to-pick buttons. Clear requests skip it.
• README writing for developers: what the project does, how to install and use it, in plain words, with every command kept exactly.
• Commit messages and pull request descriptions written from the diff, following the repo's own style.
• Architecture docs, decision records (ADRs), and folder-structure explanations that describe only what's really in the code.
• API docs, error messages people can act on, and app text like buttons and empty states, with keys and placeholders kept exactly.
• In Claude Code, inside a git repository, README and docs files are edited in place, with a line on how to see or undo the change with git. Elsewhere a new copy is made, as before.
• A developer section in the buzzword list: emoji headings, badge walls, "seamlessly integrates", "simply run", and similar.
• Work chat messages for Slack, Teams, and Google Chat.
• Mail merge templates can include real curly braces by doubling them, so {{SAVE10}} comes out as {SAVE10}.
• Eval cases and test prompts for every v0.7.0 guide, plus checks that coding requests still don't start the skill (161 cases in all).
• Code comments and docstrings: a new script rewrites only comment text in 20 languages and refuses to write anything if a single character of code would change. Licence headers, tool directives, doc tags, and commented-out code are left alone.

Changed

• Developers are now part of the audience, for the words around code only. The skill never writes or changes code.
• README in English, Hindi, and Tamil lists the v0.7.0 features.
• The website has a For developers section, v0.7.0 in What's new, and new guide tasks in English, Hindi, and Tamil for developers, work chat, and quick options.

v0.6.1 on GitHub Code changes since v0.6.0

Fixed

• Long LaTeX theses can now be split into chapters and sections. Before, the first step refused .tex files.
• Subtitle, LaTeX, and web page files keep their Windows line endings and byte-order mark, so captions still show correctly on TVs and older players, and LaTeX files really do keep every other byte the same.
• The date check now flags dates that can't exist, like "31 April" or "29 Feb 2023", even with no weekday next to them.
• Spreadsheet text on hidden sheets, rows, and columns is marked as hidden and left alone unless you ask.
• The consistency list for long documents no longer lists ordinary words that start sentences, like "Final" or "Then", as names.
• The LaTeX script exits with code 2 when it skips an unsafe change, so the skip can't go unnoticed.
• Chat sender counts no longer include media and deleted messages.
• Script messages say "1 section" and "1 cell" instead of "1 sections" and "1 cells".

Removed

• Dependabot. The pinned GitHub Actions versions are now updated by hand.

v0.6.0 on GitHub Code changes since v0.5.0

Added

• Size budgets for SKILL.md, the pattern catalog, and every guide, checked on every pull request, so the skill stays quick.
• Hindi, Tamil, and Hinglish eval cases for payment reminders, support replies, and personalised messages.
• "How does this sound?" mode: a calm reading of a message someone else sent, with no invented intent, then help replying.
• Negotiation messages for salary, prices, and rent, using only your real numbers and reasons.
• Recommendation and reference letters written from what the recommender actually saw.
• Scripts and descriptions for YouTube videos, Reels, and Shorts, written to be spoken.
• Easy Read: a simple accessible format with one idea per line and picture suggestions.
• Keeping your voice profile or house style in a Claude Project so it applies without attaching it each time.
• Long documents: theses, manuals, and long reports handled section by section, with names and terms kept consistent and nothing dropped.
• Dyslexia-friendly layout for Word files: clear font, wider spacing, left alignment, and no long italics. The words don't change.
• Voice profiles from Telegram and Signal chat exports, as well as WhatsApp.
• LaTeX files: prose rewritten while commands, maths, and citations stay exactly as they were.
• Eval cases and test prompts for every v0.6.0 guide (146 cases in all).
• A privacy page on the website that explains what happens to your text and files.
• The usage guide in Hindi and Tamil, linked from the Hindi and Tamil pages.
• The landing page can show the latest eval pass rate, once a saved eval result is in the repo.
• An accessibility scan of every website page in light and dark mode, run on every pull request.
• A weekly check that links in the README, guides, and website still work.

Changed

• The router links every v0.6.0 guide.
• The README lists every v0.6.0 feature and links the privacy page.
• Hindi and Tamil README brought up to date with v0.6.0.
• The website's What's new section and the guide (in English, Hindi, and Tamil) cover reading a message, negotiation, long documents, and Easy Read.

Fixed

• Better text contrast on the landing page's call-to-action card and the demo legend, in light and dark mode.
• The examples table can now be scrolled with a keyboard.

v0.5.0 on GitHub Code changes since v0.4.0

Added

• A GitHub workflow you start by hand that runs the evals with your API key and attaches the score. It never runs on its own.
• Script conversion: write the same words in Hindi, Tamil, or another Indian script, or back into Roman letters, without translating.
• Payment reminders and invoice notes, with amounts, invoice numbers, and due dates kept exactly as given.
• Customer support replies for small businesses, with no refunds or dates promised that the owner didn't approve.
• Out-of-office and away messages, WhatsApp Business greetings, and email signatures.
• Alt text for images: describes what is visible and never guesses who people are.
• A quick starter voice profile from just three messages, which can grow later.
• Personalised messages from a spreadsheet: one draft per person using their name, saved to a file. Nothing is sent, and it's only for people you already know.
• Explanations as Word comments: each change can come with a short margin note saying why.
• Google Sheets and Google Slides edited in place when a Google connector is attached, on a copy unless you say otherwise.
• Golden-file tests for form filling, web pages, and Word comments, and tests for the new message script.
• Eval cases and test prompts for every v0.5.0 guide, including a decline case for bulk messages to a bought list (131 cases in all).
• The scripts that build the Hindi, Tamil, examples, and guide pages are in the repo, and a check fails if those pages fall out of date with the English page.
• A How do I guide on the website with short steps for every common task, and a What's new section on the home page.

Changed

• Python cache folders and Node packages are ignored, so test runs no longer leave untracked files.
• GitHub Actions in the workflows are pinned to exact versions, and Dependabot keeps those pins up to date.
• The router links the new writing types, alt text, and script conversion.
• A tighter skill description that leads with the most common requests and leaves room for future features.
• The README lists every v0.5.0 feature.
• Hindi and Tamil README brought up to date with v0.5.0.

v0.4.0 on GitHub Code changes since v0.3.2

Added

• The eval runner can save a score summary per release (--save v0.4.0), so pass rates can be compared over time.
• Golden-file tests that prove everything you didn't ask to change in a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file stays byte for byte the same.
• Sindhi, Maithili, Vietnamese, Thai, and Swahili language guides, and a section on formal and official Hindi.
• Singapore, Nigerian, Kenyan, Philippine, and South African English, kept as the user writes them.
• Reply options for tricky messages: one reply plus a single tone offer, never a pile of versions.
• Voice profiles can be built from Word, PDF, or text files the user wrote.
• Team style guides: a shared house style for a small business or team, with a fill-in template.
• Explain mode: ask why any single change was made and get a plain answer, with an offer to undo it.
• Learning mode: a short lesson on the three most noticeable habits in your own text, so you can write better yourself.
• Six more kinds of writing: event announcements, rental agreements in plain words, product FAQs, school circulars, grievance letters to an employer, and insurance claims.
• Create PowerPoint decks from notes: short slide text, fuller speaker notes, and no invented figures.
• Fill a Word or PowerPoint template, such as a letterhead or a resume layout, keeping its look.
• Fill in forms: fillable PDFs and Word forms, with personal details never guessed and missing answers listed.
• Scanned PDF pages are read from their images, and names and numbers read that way are confirmed with the user.
• Photos of handwritten notes, whiteboards, and letters turned into typed text, with unclear words marked instead of guessed.
• A router check that every guide can be reached and every link and example points at a real guide.
• Eval cases and test prompts for every new v0.4.0 guide (124 cases in all).
• An examples page on the website: every before and after sample, searchable and filterable by kind of writing.
• Hindi and Tamil versions of the website, labeled as translations of the English page.
• A feedback form for saying what worked and what didn't, without sharing personal text.

Changed

• The skill description names the new abilities (forms, templates, scanned PDFs, handwriting, and creating files) so those requests trigger it.
• The Claude Code plugin now installs only the skill folder (about 670 KB), not the website, tests, and translations.
• SKILL.md is about a fifth shorter. The kinds-of-writing tables moved to a lookup file that is read only when needed, so every request costs fewer tokens.
• The README lists every v0.4.0 feature and links the new examples page.

v0.3.2 on GitHub Code changes since v0.3.1

Added

• Draft mode can hand back a new Word file, PDF, or spreadsheet when asked. The skill writes the words and Claude builds the file.
• Eleven more chatbot habits in the pattern catalog, including template letter phrases, biodata and listing cliches, and engagement-bait endings.
• Eval cases for every language guide and the pattern catalog, so all 94 guides are covered (103 cases).
• Before and after samples for creating a Word file and a spreadsheet.
• A social preview image, so links to the website show a picture on WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and X.
• A check on every pull request that loads the website at phone, tablet, and desktop sizes in Chromium and WebKit and fails if it doesn't fit the screen.

Changed

• The website has its own icon, a speech bubble with a hand-drawn line, in the header and the browser tab.
• A simpler, more modern website with a bento grid of interactive examples, a typing prompt bar, and a language marquee.
• The website has a new section on creating and editing Word, PDF, and Excel files, and larger tap targets on phones.
• The README shows how to create new Word, PDF, and Excel files, not only edit existing ones.

Fixed

• The website now lays out at the phone's real width. A chat mock-up in the hero was forcing every phone to 444 pixels wide and zooming the page out.
• On phones, the website's "New" badge stays on one line, the footer has full-width buttons, and page content no longer shows above the floating menu bar.
• The website's numbers were typed by hand and had gone stale (81 test cases instead of 103). A test now checks them against the repo.

v0.3.1 on GitHub Code changes since v0.3.0

Added

• Checks that every module has the standard sections, that the newest changelog section has entries, and that the plugin version matches the changelog.
• Eval cases for every writing, file, adjust, voice, and mode module (81 cases in all).
• Ten more before and after samples covering the v0.2.0 and v0.3.0 modules.
• Web pages: image descriptions (alt text) and meta descriptions can be rewritten too, when asked.

Changed

• The router's input table is split into groups (files, work, official, selling, personal) so the right module is easier to find.
• Hindi and Tamil README and install guide brought up to date, including the plugin install.
• Spreadsheets with charts: a plainer warning, and the option to get only the rewritten text cells back.
• A redesigned project website, with an interactive before and after, the plugin install, and every language.

Fixed

• The skill description now names the newer writing types and files, so requests for them trigger the skill.
• Four modules now use the standard section headings, and the tone presets module has an Output section.
• PDF text keeps its paragraph breaks, including greeting lines and numbered lists.

v0.3.0 on GitHub Code changes since v0.2.0

Added

• Two lengths at once, only when asked.
• Nepali, Sinhala, Konkani, Italian, Turkish, Korean, Chinese, and Filipino language guides, and Taglish in the mixed language guide.
• A before-you-send check: missing attachments, weekdays that don't match dates, unanswered questions, leftover placeholders.
