Changelog

Every published version of Excellent, newest first. Version numbers match what npm serves for @excellent-so/cli, and /install always gets you the newest stable one.

First stable release

0.1.0Stable

The CLI moves from the beta channel to latest on npm. This is the build the installer gives you today.

Added

  • Two commands in one package, @excellent-so/cli: excellent, and excellent-mcp, a Model Context Protocol server that gives any MCP-capable coding agent the same tools.
  • excellent init sets a repository up for your agent: it writes an AGENTS.md and a .excellent/ folder for project context and settings.
  • A review gate for agent work. excellent-mcp review queue lists work waiting for verification that the current agent did not ship, and review approve refuses to sign off on work the same agent shipped.
  • excellent-mcp agent converge alternates a verifier and a shipper, sending rejected work back to be fixed, until the queue is verifiably done, stalls, or reaches its cycle limit.
  • Workers run through the coding agent you already use: Claude Code or Codex, picked with --cli.
  • excellent doctor checks the runtime, local database, providers, installed agent CLIs and PATH in one read.
  • excellent update updates the CLI in place.

Changed

  • npm install -g @excellent-so/cli now installs this release. The prereleases stay on the beta tag.

Public beta

0.1.0-beta.0 – beta.3Beta –

Four prereleases on npm's beta channel while the release path was proven end to end.

Added

  • The first public build of the CLI on npm, as @excellent-so/cli@beta.
  • A one-line installer, curl -fsSL https://excellent.so/install.sh | sh, with a PowerShell twin for Windows. If installing from npm doesn't work, it falls back to the same build on Excellent's download mirror.
  • The installer checks the mirrored build against its published SHA-256 checksum before installing it, and stops if they don't match.
