Changelog

Terse by design - each release links its announcement post when there is one.

First-run proof. Standalone Astro and TanStack starters track the current contentbit package version and exercise validate, links, doctor, build, and smoke gates. Their first-run docs also include Studio as the human inspection step.

0.7.0

Shared project configuration. Commands discover the nearest contentbit.config.*, so content globs, custom blocks, link resolution, and SEO contracts live in one place instead of package-script flags. See Configure a Contentbit project.
Existing-project adoption. contentbit adopt scans a Markdown library and prints a read-only integrity report plus reviewable configuration proposals. See Adopt an existing content library.
Faster editing feedback. contentbit doctor --watch reruns the ranked repair plan as content changes, while --strict-warnings and --strict-seo remain the CI gates.
Stronger rendering contracts. Core exposes explicit processed and validated document types, strict compile helpers, and inferred block props for renderer integrations.
Clearer CLI ergonomics. Commands validate incompatible options, prop diagnostics point to the offending key, unknown props include suggestions, and contentbit agents --check reports stale integrations without writing.
Lightweight CLI installs. Studio is a separate development dependency; contentbit init installs it automatically for new projects.

0.6.1

Published package hardening. The CLI and Studio bundles no longer expose the private @contentbit/project workspace package as a runtime dependency. Packed manifests are checked before release.

0.6.0

SEO contracts. contentbit.seo.config.ts can define reusable page types, planned pages, required sections, required blocks, link requirements, and strict SEO checks. See Programmatic SEO workflows.
SEO briefs. New contentbit brief command prints an agent-ready writing contract for existing or planned pages, in Markdown or JSON. See SEO briefs and contracts.
SEO-aware Doctor and Studio. Doctor folds SEO findings into the repair plan, and Studio shows SEO counts plus per-document Brief views.

0.5.0

One project scan. scanContentProject() now runs frontmatter parsing, directive parsing, validation, stats, link graph, and ranked findings through a shared core pipeline.
Headless renderers. React and Astro renderers no longer ship built-in styled components. Apps provide their own block components and Markdown prose renderer, while shadcn packs provide editable styled UI.
Custom registry control. --no-generic-blocks lets a project registry own the full block set, including names that overlap the generic pack.

0.4.0

Content Studio. New contentbit studio command launches a read-only local TanStack dashboard for content health counters, search, sortable files, previews, stats, diagnostics, links, backlinks, keywords, and block usage. contentbit init adds a studio script for pnpm studio. See Content Studio.
Content doctor. New contentbit doctor command reads matched content once and prints a ranked repair plan across block validation, internal-link diagnostics, thin sections, block-less long documents, and missing image alt text. Use --json for agents and CI. See Content doctor.

0.3.0

Internal linking. New contentbit links command builds .contentbit/link-index.json from frontmatter slug, linksTo, aliases, and keywords, derives backlinks, validates broken slug references, and heals alias references with --fix. contentbit validate runs link checks automatically when matched files declare slugs. See Internal linking.
LLM link context. contentbit agents teaches generated skills and AGENTS.md blocks to load the link index, choose existing slugs, and validate the full graph when authoring linked content.

0.2.0

All packages now share one version number — this is the first synchronized release. Read the announcement →

LLM-agent integration. New contentbit agents command (also run by init, skip with --no-agents): installs the contentbit-author and contentbit-audit Claude Code skills and manages a fenced instruction block in AGENTS.md for every other LLM agent. Skills hold no schemas — they read everything from the CLI at runtime, so custom blocks are picked up automatically. See LLM-agent integration.
Document stats. analyzeDocument in @contentbit/core and a contentbit stats command: heading outlines with per-section word counts, block usage, link domains, and a validation summary, as JSON. Accepts multiple files and globs. See Document stats & auditing.
@contentbit/astro. Renderer-only Astro integration: render validated documents with .astro components, per-block overrides included. See Astro.
Every prop, documented. Generated authoring guides now list every prop from the block's schema — name, type (enums spelled out), required/optional, default, and description — so LLMs that never guess props can discover all of them. See LLM-agent integration.

Initial release: directive-block parser with source-mapped AST, block registry with per-block schemas, line-level validation diagnostics, the generic block pack, React and static-HTML renderers, the shadcn styled pack, and the contentbit CLI.
