v1.4.1: Recaps, Project Manager subagent & task execution improvements

[CasJam]

Several more improvements in version 1.4.1 after yesterday's release of 1.4.0.

Replaced Decisions with Recaps

Earlier versions added a decisions.md inside a project's .agent-os/product/. In practice, this was rarely used and didn't help future development.

It's been replaced with a new system for creating "Recaps"—short summaries of what was built—after every feature spec's implementation has been completed. Similar to a changelog, but more descriptive and context-focused. These recaps are easy to reference by both humans and AI agents.

Recaps are automatically generated via the new complete-tasks.md process.

Added Project-Manager Subagent

A goal of this update was to tighten up the processes for creating specs and executing tasks, ensuring these processes are executed reliably. Sounds like the job for a "project manager".

This update introduces a new subagent (for Claude Code) called project-manager which handles all task completion, status updates, and reporting progress back to you.

Spec Creation & Task Execution Reliability Improvements

Several changes to the instructions, processes, and executions, all aimed at helping agents follow the process steps consistently.

• Consolidated task execution instructions with clear step-by-step processes
• Added post-flight verification rules to ensure instruction compliance
• Improved subagent delegation tracking and reporting
• Standardized test suite verification and git workflow integration
• Enhanced task completion criteria validation and status management

How is it used by AI Agents for now if I may ask?

A collegue and I have enjoyed using agent-os and the structure it brings to our software engineering workflow. We greatly you making this resource available and sharing your knowledge.
