 # Kernel Prompt
 
+## [0.4.2] - 2026-10-10
+
+### Changed
+
+- Add a README badge row: CI status, npm version, npm monthly downloads, license, and Agent Skills compatibility.
+- Replace the generic npm keywords `agent`, `skill`, and `kernel` with the repository topics (`agent-skills`, `agent-skill`, `skill-md`, `prompt-engineering`, `prompt-optimization`, `prompt-generator`, `meta-prompting`, `system-prompt`, `prompts`, `llm`, `ai-agents`), keeping `prompt`.
+- Record GitHub access, the `main` branch ruleset, presentation metadata, and listing status for agents in `AGENTS.md`, and version the repository's social preview image at `.github/social-preview.png`.
+
+## [0.4.1] - 2026-10-10
+
+### Changed
+
+- Deliver the improved prompt inside a fenced code block, ready to copy and send, instead of as plain text; a prompt that itself contains triple backticks is wrapped in a four-backtick fence. Update the README's description of the delivery format.
+- Document the release workflow in `RELEASING.md` (issue, worktree branch, pull request, squash-merge, tag, GitHub release, and staged npm publish approved by the maintainer with two-factor authentication) and link it from the README. `AGENTS.md` now requires every update to follow it and npm releases to be staged, never published directly.
+- Add a pull request template and issue forms for bug reports and change requests.

 `kernel-prompt` is a small, harness-neutral prose skill that turns your message—a draft prompt or a task you want an AI agent to do—into an improved prompt for that agent. It asks one round of questions first, then writes the prompt while preserving your intent. It writes the instruction, never the task's result.
 
 Select it when you invoke it by name or ask to compose or improve an LLM prompt or an instruction for another AI. Reviewing documents or collaboration guidance—even with wording suggestions—is not by itself a match. Asking to turn that guidance into a system prompt is.

 Invoking the skill with text that reads as a task—"fix the failing login test"—yields a prompt for that task, not the fix. Files, skills, URLs, and repositories you mention are read as context for the prompt, not rewritten as the deliverable, unless you say that text is the prompt to improve. No files are created or edited unless you ask to save the prompt.

 Versions 0.1.0 through 0.2.0 remain deprecated: they carry historical skill content, and 0.1.x also shipped an `install`/`update` CLI that no longer exists. Replace only your existing Kernel Prompt skill with the current `SKILL.md`, preserving local edits and unrelated instructions; deprecation does not remove installed files or update copied instructions.
