+## 0.0.4 — Agents get their instructions
+
+_2026-08-25_ · [release notes](https://github.com/xanots/sdk/releases/tag/v0.0.4)
+
+`knowledge()` lands: the markdown a Xano workspace's AI agents read before they act, authored as real `.md` files in your repo instead of typed into a console. Standing instructions, skills, and reference docs are now workspace source — reviewed in a diff, versioned with the code they describe, and redeployed with it. Nothing changes for a workspace that declares none.
+
+- `knowledge()` authors the instructions your agents follow
+- The body is a real markdown file, never a string in a def
+- `refs` ships a whole folder the agent searches on demand
+- `type` and `mode` decide what the agent actually receives
+- Authoring mistakes that used to deploy silently are now build errors
+- `xanots codegen` writes the markdown back out as files
+- Repeated releases update knowledge instead of duplicating it

+## 0.0.3 — The scaffold gets a look
+
+_2026-08-25_ · [release notes](https://github.com/xanots/sdk/releases/tag/v0.0.3)
+
+`xanots init` wrote one hard-coded stylesheet, so every scaffolded project looked
+identical. It now takes a theme, a corner radius, a dark-mode strategy, three
+typeface slots and an icon set — 126 themes composed from shadcn/ui's own tables,
+or any registry theme URL. The same command can install **and register**
+marketplace add-ons in one line, and the agent grounding now points assistants at
+a prebuilt module instead of hand-rolling one. Nothing changes for anyone not
+passing the new flags: no flags and no TTY scaffolds exactly what it did before.
+
+- `xanots init` takes a theme, typefaces and an icon set
+- `chart-*` and `sidebar-*` were missing from every scaffolded stylesheet
+- `components.json` hard-coded a base color the stylesheet no longer used
+- Dark mode shipped inert
+- `--marketplace` installs add-ons and registers them
+- Agents are grounded in marketplace discovery and the first-party modules
+- New `@xanots/sdk/scaffold` export carries the scaffold's palette as data

+## 0.0.2 — What the engine actually requires
+
+_2026-08-25_ · [release notes](https://github.com/xanots/sdk/releases/tag/v0.0.2)
+
+This release is about the statement surface refusing what the engine cannot accept, while you are writing rather than after you deploy. An absent required argument does not error on Xano — it substitutes a type default and answers HTTP 200 with a confident wrong result, which nothing downstream can distinguish from a right one. So 50-odd arguments that were typed optional are now required, one field the engine never reads is gone, and the wrappers that used to pass a missing field along now name it. If your code omitted any of them it will stop type-checking; it was already producing the wrong answer.
+
+- ⚠️ 25 arguments across 15 statements are now required
+- ⚠️ The Elasticsearch and OpenSearch credentials and target are required
+- ⚠️ `webflow.request` no longer offers a `headers` field
+- ⚠️ Statements that passed a missing field along now refuse it
+- A zero-argument call names the field it needs
+- A pulled workspace decodes where it used to fall back to `raw()`
+- Every statement in the catalog has byte evidence behind it
+

+## 0.0.1 — The new name, and a README to match
+
+_2026-08-24_ · [release notes](https://github.com/xanots/sdk/releases/tag/v0.0.1)
+
+The SDK is now published as **`@xanots/sdk`**, starting a fresh version line at 0.0.1. The name says what the package is — the authoring surface, the compiler, and the CLI — rather than implying one member of a family with a shared core. Alongside the rename: two new build-time warnings for shapes that used to ship clean and then misbehave at request time, and a README rebuilt as a landing page with its reference material split into browsable guides.
+
+- ⚠️ The package is now `@xanots/sdk`
+- `s.switch` fell through without `break: true`
+- A filtered operand in a `where` could 500 at request time
+- The README is a landing page again
+- Scaffolds build the frontend before deploying it
+- `@xanots/auth` is authentication, not authorization
+- `InferResponse`: the shapes that never derive, and the line that closes each

+
+Before building complex or domain capabilities from scratch (authentication, AI chatbots, vector embeddings / RAG, payment integrations), check if a prebuilt XanoTS module exists in the marketplace.
+
+The marketplace is a live database of typed add-on packages that register onto the workspace. **Query it dynamically**:
+
+1. **Search:** \`xanots marketplace search <keywords>\` (e.g. \`auth\`, \`chat\`, \`vector\`, \`stripe\`) \u2014 matches title, package, tagline, and description.
+2. **Inspect & Prompt:** \`xanots marketplace details <package> --prompt\` \u2014 emits the publisher's exact wiring steps, required env vars, and \`xano/index.ts\` registration snippet.
+3. **Install:** \`xanots marketplace install <package>\` \u2014 verifies project directory and adds the package.
+4. **List all:** \`xanots marketplace list\` \u2014 browse all published modules. All read verbs work offline/signed-out before \`xanots login\`.
+
+#### Common First-Party Modules:
+
+- \`@xanots/auth\` \u2014 Turnkey authentication (\`signup\`/\`login\`/\`me\` endpoints + \`user\`/\`account\`/\`event_log\` tables):
+  \`registerAuth(ws, { canonical: "authn" })\`. **Authentication only \u2014 not authorization.** Build role guards natively with \`auth("role")\`.
+- \`@xanots/chatbot\` \u2014 Conversational AI assistant (thread/message tables + Xano AI agent + chat endpoints):
+  \`registerChatbot(ws, { authTable: userTable, llm: { type: "xano-free", systemPrompt: "..." } })\`. Maintains multi-turn conversation history automatically.
+- \`@xanots/vector\` \u2014 Multimodal Gemini vector embeddings & similarity search (\`document\`/\`chunk\` tables + pgvector index):
+  \`registerVector(ws, { apiKeyEnv: "GEMINI_API_KEY" })\`. Provides \`vector.searchTool\` ready to attach to \`@xanots/chatbot\`.

-  \`registerAuth(workspace, { canonical: "authn" })\` takes the workspace you
-  export from \`xano/index.ts\` and returns that instance, so your own
-  \`.register*()\` calls chain straight off it.
-  **Authentication only \u2014 it is NOT authorization.** It issues and verifies
