Delete the empty active-skills prompt extension and its unused prompt template now that selected skills are loaded through chat history instead of protocol. Stop clearing legacy loaded_skills keys from protocol/extras in the loaded-skills hook while keeping history reattachment for compacted skill bodies.
Search the raw user message when recalling relevant skills instead of the rendered history wrapper.
Replace the stopword catalog with structural matching: names use normal terms, tags/triggers use long terms or phrase matches, and descriptions require phrase matches.
Switch the Skills catalog UI/API from scope-wide prompt pins to current-chat history loading, and remove user-facing removal of loaded skills.
Disable legacy active-skill prompt injection so forgotten scope config no longer inflates new-chat prompts.
Store explicitly loaded skill IDs as chat-wide context data while keeping full skill bodies in normal tool-result history. Reattach any loaded skill body that is no longer visible after compaction by reimporting the current skill from its source, without revision hashes or protocol reinjection.
Update compaction and summary prompts to preserve loaded skill names only, refresh DOX contracts, and add focused coverage for context-data persistence, legacy agent-data migration, duplicate suppression, and post-compaction reattachment.
Introduce a new prompt "protocol" separate from extras: add LoopData.protocol_temporary and protocol_persistent, include protocol contents before message history during prompt construction, and clear temporary protocol data each turn. Add helper _build_context_message to render protocol/extras, update response input conversion to include protocol, and move project instructions & active/loaded skills injection into protocol. Update docs, prompts, plugin metadata, the SkillsTool message, and add tests to verify protocol placement and behavior.
When compression hides an explicitly loaded skill body, reattach the current missing revision as a normal skills_tool history result under one fixed budget. Preserve skill name and revision metadata in automatic and manual compaction summaries without copying full skill bodies.
Move explicit skill loads out of per-turn prompt extras and into normal tool-result history, with revision metadata for duplicate detection. Duplicate load calls now omit the full body only when the same revision remains model-visible after history output assembly.
- add a parallel wrapper and runtime for concurrent background tool calls
- run parallel call_subordinate jobs as child chats with visible subagent steps that match normal subordinate args
- render parallel child tool steps with normal tool-call args while keeping job handles in wrapper results and prompt extras
- group parallel child chats in the sidebar with persistent accordion and caret behavior
- add prompt, extension, DOX, and regression coverage
Add comprehensive file-level DOX documentation across the repo and update directory AGENTS.md indexes. Many new `*.py.dox.md` files were added under api, helpers, tools, plugins, extensions, webui, and other dirs to document endpoint purpose, ownership, runtime contracts, work guidance, and verification. Several AGENTS.md files were created or updated (agents profiles, api, docker, extensions, helpers, plugins, skills, webui components, etc.) to list child DOX files and clarify documentation/work guidance. Also add example and bundled profile DOX files (agent0, default, developer, hacker, researcher) and minor updates to helpers/dirty_json.py and its tests. These changes improve on-disk documentation coverage and establish the convention that each direct runtime file should have a matching `*.dox.md` describing its contracts and verification steps.
Expose Agent Zero over the Agent Client Protocol as a builtin stdio plugin with session lifecycle support, streaming bridges, registry metadata, and editor workspace handling.
Add lazy dependency installation through the ACP plugin hook using the root requirements pin so self-updated instances can recover without a fresh Docker image.
Pin agent-client-protocol, add focused static coverage, and allow ACP sessions to override the per-context workdir for code execution and workdir prompts.
Let users hide skills from the model-facing available catalog through the chat Skills selector while keeping pinned skill injection as a separate mode.
Hidden skills are filtered from skill listing, search, loading, relevant recall, and loaded-skill prompt injection, with chat-level show/hide overrides and persistent default hidden-skill config support.
Add user-configurable timezone and 12/24-hour preferences, then wire them through settings, runtime snapshots, scheduler payloads, wait handling, notifications, backups, memory, plugin metadata, and frontend formatters.
Keep UTC as the boundary for absolute instants while serializing user-facing dates in the configured or browser-resolved timezone. Preserve scheduler wall-clock inputs in the selected timezone, propagate TZ into desktop/runtime process environments, and restart active desktop sessions when the runtime timezone changes.
Cover the risky paths with timezone regression tests for settings normalization, auto and fixed timezone resolution, scheduler round-trips, memory timestamp conversion, and desktop timezone sync.
Add a builtin `a0-setup-cli` skill for guiding host-side A0 connector setup,
and restore the lightweight trigger-word based skill matching flow, which many users asked for.
- add builtin `skills/a0-setup-cli/` with installer-first host setup guidance,
container guardrails, fallback install paths, and example responses
- fix `helpers.skills_cli` so builtin skills under `/skills` are discoverable,
searchable, and validatable
- restore trigger-pattern scoring in runtime `search_skills()`
- re-enable `skills_tool:search` in the current tool flow
- add lightweight lexical relevant-skill recall for the current user message
without reintroducing memory/vector-db skill recall
- update skill prompts to steer the agent toward search/load when requests
match skill trigger phrases
- Extract presets into global presets.yaml; move editor to plugin main screen
- Add project-wide override sync and three-layer permission checks
- Fix embedding change detection, new-chat inheritance, and preset name leak bugs
- Clean up dead imports/params and fix description text
