Changelog

[0.4.4] - 2026-03-01

Changed

  • Switched daemon lifecycle management to direct python3 control (start/stop/restart) via plugin/scripts/control.sh.
  • Added runtime stdout/stderr log paths (runtime.stdout.log, runtime.stderr.log) for startup failure diagnostics.
  • Removed CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT hard dependency from start/stop/restart/logs/status skill flows.

[0.3.2] - 2026-02-24

Added

  • Auto-create output directory when writing entries for improved reliability.

[0.2.6] - 2026-02-23

Added

  • Setup hook: displays install instructions automatically after /plugin install claude-cobrain.
  • plugin/scripts/setup.sh post-install reminder script.

[0.2.5] - 2026-02-23

Changed

  • Simplified commands/install.md to thin proxy delegating to skills/install/SKILL.md (single source of truth).
  • Optimized install skill to minimize user approval prompts (max 3 Bash calls).

  • Installation flow updated to /plugin install claude-cobrain + /claude-cobrain:cobrain install.
  • Update flow now uses /plugin update instead of custom git pull logic.

[0.1.1] - 2026-02-22

Changed

  • Each log entry now includes the model used (e.g. ollama/qwen3-vl:2b) directly in the heading, reflecting the actual backend at capture time.

[0.1.0] - 2026-02-22

Added

  • Initial release of claude-cobrain, a macOS background daemon that continuously monitors your active window.
  • Captures screenshots of the frontmost window and processes them through a local VLM (qwen3-vl:2b via Ollama).

  • SKILL.md instruction file to manage daemon installation, operations, and updates.
  • LaunchAgent template (com.cobrain.plist) for background execution.
