+## 1.4.18
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 156db14: Optimize rules and agents with MEP principles
+
+  - Optimized core.md: removed duplicates, agent-specific content (222→91 lines, -59%)
+  - Optimized code-standards.md: removed duplicates, kept unique technical content (288→230 lines, -20%)
+  - Optimized workspace.md: applied MEP, added drift resolution (317→265 lines, -16%)
+  - Optimized coder.md: added Git workflow section (157→169 lines)
+  - Optimized orchestrator.md: condensed orchestration flow (151→120 lines, -21%)
+  - Optimized reviewer.md: condensed review modes and output format (161→128 lines, -20%)
+  - Optimized writer.md: condensed writing modes (174→122 lines, -30%)
+
+  Overall reduction: 1,470→1,125 lines (-23%)
+
+  All files now follow MEP (Minimal Effective Prompt) principles: concise, direct, trigger-based, no step-by-step, no WHY explanations.
+
+## 1.4.17
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- ef8463c: Refactor workspace.md rule to follow Minimal Effective Prompt principles. Reduced from 486 to 244 lines (50% reduction) by removing teaching, applying trigger-based outcomes, condensing templates, and trusting LLM capability.
