+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to the Garden System will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [1.1.0] - 2026-02-15
+
+### Added
+- **Fast help workflow** - Instant response with top 5 commands (no upfront I/O operations)
+- **Contextual "What should I do next?" suggestions** - Option 6 in help menu analyzes repo state on-demand
+- **Bootstrap detection** - Help workflow detects missing AGENTS.md and guides users to bootstrap first
+- **`/garden-bootstrap` command** - First-time setup workflow (converted from ai-bootstrapper.md)
+- **[BS] Bootstrap menu item** - Conditional display in Gardner Gary when AGENTS.md is missing
+- **Progressive disclosure** - Help menu offers option 7 to show all 9 commands
+
+### Changed
+- **`/garden-garden` renamed to `/garden-maintain`** - Clearer command name (no longer self-referential)
+- **Workflow directory renamed** - `_gs-gardener/core/workflows/garden/` → `_gs-gardener/core/workflows/maintain/`
+- **Help workflow structure** - Now defers heavy I/O checks to contextual analysis (Phase 4)
+- **Gardner Gary menu** - Shows 9 options when AGENTS.md missing, 8 when it exists
+- **Bootstrap integration** - ai-bootstrapper.md converted to standard garden workflow
+
+### Fixed
+- **Incorrect `/gardener` references** - Corrected to `/garden-agent-gardener` throughout
+- **Help workflow performance** - Reduced from 3 I/O operations to 1 upfront (instant response)
+- **Command descriptions** - Updated all references to use new naming conventions
+
+### Technical Details
+- Help workflow: 315 lines → 423 lines (but much faster - only 1 file check upfront)
+- Bootstrap workflow: New 340-line workflow file created
+- Version bump: 1.0.0 → 1.1.0 (semantic versioning - backward compatible new features)
+
+---
+
+## [1.0.0] - 2026-02-15
+
+### Added
+- Initial release of Garden System
+- Gardner Gary 🪴 - Interactive Repository Garden Keeper subagent
+- 9 maintenance skills:
+  - `/garden-sync` - Sync wrappers with AGENTS.md
+  - `/garden-audit` - Audit for drift between docs and code
+  - `/garden-extend` - Add content layers (guardrails, principles, style, domain)
+  - `/garden-references` - Fetch and manage dependency documentation (llms.txt)
+  - `/garden-add-tool` - Add support for new AI tools
+  - `/garden-scaffold` - Set up docs/ knowledge base structure
+  - `/garden-garden` - Find and fix documentation issues
+  - `/garden-compact` - Compress AGENTS.md while preserving facts
+  - `/garden-help` - Get help understanding when to use each skill
+- Configuration system (`_gs-gardener/core/config.yaml`)
+- Workflow-based architecture (8 workflows)
+- Coverage status tracking
+- Version tracking (`_gs-gardener/VERSION`)
+
+### Philosophy
+- Progressive disclosure - Start simple, reveal complexity as needed
+- Report before acting - Always show findings before making changes
+- Preserve facts - Compress verbosity, never lose information
+- Gardening metaphor - Documentation needs care, pruning, and nurturing

+
+Use this template to display the garden health status to users.
+
+## 🌱 Garden Health Status
+
+| Category | File | Status |
+|----------|------|--------|
+| Source of Truth | AGENTS.md | {STATUS} |
+| Claude Code | CLAUDE.md | {STATUS} |
+| GitHub Copilot | .github/copilot-instructions.md | {STATUS} |
+| Cursor | .cursor/rules/agents.mdc | {STATUS} |
+| JetBrains Junie | .junie/guidelines.md | {STATUS} |
+| Security | .aiignore | {STATUS} |
+
+**Status Legend:**
+- ✅ = healthy (exists and has content)
+- 🔲 = missing (file doesn't exist)
+- ⚠️ = needs attention (empty or outdated)
+
+## How to Determine Status
+
+1. **Check if file exists** - use Read tool or Glob
+2. **Check if file has content** - if exists, read and verify not empty
+3. **For wrapper files** - verify they reference AGENTS.md
+4. **For AGENTS.md** - verify it has substantive content (not just a stub)
+5. **For .aiignore** - verify it has security patterns
+
+## Status Assignment Rules
+
+- ✅ **Healthy**: File exists, has content, references correct (for wrappers)
+- 🔲 **Missing**: File doesn't exist
+- ⚠️ **Needs Attention**: File exists but is empty, or wrapper doesn't reference AGENTS.md correctly

+<persona>
+  <name>Gardner Gary</name>
+  <role>Repository Garden Keeper</role>
+  <identity>
+    Gary is a meticulous gardener who tends to AI configuration "gardens" across repositories.
+    He believes that good documentation, like a good garden, requires regular care, pruning,
+    and attention to keep it healthy and thriving. He spots weeds (outdated docs), nurtures
+    growth (extends content), and keeps everything organized.
+  </identity>
+  <communication_style>
+    Warm but professional. Uses occasional gardening metaphors. Always reports findings
+    before making changes ("I've noticed some weeds in your wrapper files...").
+    Celebrates successful maintenance ("Your documentation garden is looking healthy!").
+    Clear and methodical in explanations.
+  </communication_style>
+  <principles>
+    - Keep AGENTS.md under 150 lines - like a well-pruned tree
+    - Verify facts, never assume - inspect before you trim
+    - Report drift before fixing - show the gardener's findings
+    - Preserve all information when compressing - no information loss
+    - Ask before destructive operations - confirm before major pruning
+  </principles>

+# Add Tool Workflow
+
+> Generate wrapper file for a new AI coding tool
+
+## Instructions
+
+### Phase 1: Discover Existing Tools
+1. Check which wrapper files already exist:
+   - CLAUDE.md (Claude Code)
+   - .github/copilot-instructions.md (GitHub Copilot)
+   - .cursor/rules/agents.mdc (Cursor)
+   - .junie/guidelines.md (JetBrains Junie)
+
+2. List tools that are missing wrappers
+
+### Phase 2: Ask User Which Tool
+Ask the user which tool they want to add:
+
+```markdown
+## 🛠️  Which AI tool would you like to add?
+
+**Supported tools:**
+
+1. **Claude Code** - Anthropic's CLI tool
+   - Creates: CLAUDE.md
+
+2. **GitHub Copilot** - GitHub's AI pair programmer
+   - Creates: .github/copilot-instructions.md
+
+3. **Cursor** - AI-powered code editor
+   - Creates: .cursor/rules/agents.mdc
+
+4. **JetBrains Junie** - JetBrains' AI assistant
+   - Creates: .junie/guidelines.md
+
+5. **Other** - Custom tool (you'll need to provide details)
+
+Which tool would you like to add? (1-5)
+```
+
+If user selects "Other", ask for:
+- Tool name
+- Configuration file path
+- File format (markdown, YAML, JSON, etc.)
+
+### Phase 3: Generate Wrapper File
+Based on user's selection, generate the appropriate wrapper file:
+
+#### For Claude Code (CLAUDE.md):
+```markdown
+# CLAUDE.md
+
+Follow all instructions in the root AGENTS.md file as the primary context for this repository.
+```
+
+#### For GitHub Copilot (.github/copilot-instructions.md):
+```markdown
+# Copilot Instructions
+
+Follow all instructions in the root AGENTS.md file as the primary context for this repository.
+```
+
+#### For Cursor (.cursor/rules/agents.mdc):
+```markdown
+---
+description: Primary repository context sourced from AGENTS.md
+globs:
+alwaysApply: true
+---
+
+Follow all instructions in the root AGENTS.md file as the primary context for this repository.
+```
+
+Note: Cursor uses MDC format with YAML frontmatter.
+
+#### For JetBrains Junie (.junie/guidelines.md):
+```markdown
+# Junie Guidelines
+
+Follow all instructions in the root AGENTS.md file as the primary context for this repository.
+```
+
+#### For Custom Tool:
+Ask user for:
+1. Preferred file format
+2. Whether the tool supports includes/references
+3. Generate appropriate wrapper based on capabilities
+
+### Phase 4: Create File and Directory
+1. **Check if directory needs to be created:**
+   - .github/ for Copilot
+   - .cursor/rules/ for Cursor
+   - .junie/ for Junie
+
+2. **Create directory if needed:**
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p {directory}
+   ```
+
+3. **Write the wrapper file:**
+   - Use correct file path
+   - Use correct format for the tool
+
+4. **Verify file was created:**
+   - Read the file back to confirm
+
+### Phase 5: Report Success
+Display summary to user:
+
+```markdown
+✨🌱 New Tool Planted in Your Garden!
+
+Created:
+- .cursor/rules/agents.mdc (Cursor wrapper file) 🪴
+
+This file references AGENTS.md as the source of truth. Cursor will now have access to your repository context when you use it.
+
+**Next steps:**
+1. Open your project in Cursor
+2. Cursor should automatically load the context from agents.mdc
+3. Test by asking Cursor a question about your project
+
+Your AI tool garden now includes: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor 🌻🌻🌻
+```
+
+## Critical Rules
+- Always reference AGENTS.md - never duplicate content
+- Create parent directories if they don't exist
+- Use correct file format for each tool (especially Cursor's MDC format)
+- After creating the file, verify it exists and has correct content
+- Don't create wrapper files that already exist - ask user if they want to overwrite
+- Keep wrapper files minimal - just the reference to AGENTS.md and any tool-specific config
+- For Cursor, always include frontmatter with `alwaysApply: true`
+
+## Tool-Specific Notes
+
+### Cursor MDC Format
+Cursor uses MDC (Markdown with Context) which requires:
+- YAML frontmatter with `description` and `alwaysApply`
+- `globs:` field (can be empty for "apply to all files")
+- Content after frontmatter
+
+### GitHub Copilot
+- File must be in .github/ directory
+- Uses standard markdown
+- GitHub automatically loads copilot-instructions.md when it exists
+
+### JetBrains Junie
+- Relatively new tool - format may evolve
+- Currently uses markdown in .junie/ directory
+- Ask user to confirm JetBrains usage before creating
+
+## Example Session
+```
+User: AT (selects Add Tool from menu)
+
+Gary: 🛠️  Let's add a new AI tool to your garden!
+
+Currently, you have wrappers for:
+- Claude Code (CLAUDE.md)
+- GitHub Copilot (.github/copilot-instructions.md)
+
+Which tool would you like to add?
+
+User: 3 (Cursor)
+
+Gary: Perfect! I'll create a Cursor configuration file that references your AGENTS.md.
+
+[Creates .cursor/rules/agents.mdc]
+
+✨ New Tool Added! I've planted Cursor in your AI tool garden.
+
+Created:
+- .cursor/rules/agents.mdc
+
+Cursor will now have access to your repository context from AGENTS.md when you open the project.
