Expanded agent support and more reliable multi-page cloning

This release makes the template easier to use across more AI coding agents, preserves existing pages across repeated cloning runs, and strengthens the project foundation with current dependencies, Docker support, synchronized generated files, and clearer documentation.

Highlights

• Persistent page cloning — later /clone-website runs preserve existing pages while isolating routes, research, components, assets, and downloaders for each target
• Broader agent support — adds Kiro and complete generated workspace skills for Cline and Roo Code
• Current project foundation — moves to Node.js 24, Next.js 16.3, React 19.2.4, and patched dependencies
• Reliable maintenance — CI now rejects generated agent rules or skills that drift from their source files
• Better onboarding — adds Docker workflows, Chinese and Japanese documentation, pipeline diagrams, contribution guidance, and a security policy

What's Changed

Added

• Docker workflows for local development and multi-stage production builds
• Kiro support through a generated workspace /clone-website skill
• Complete generated workspace skills for Cline and Roo Code, including a Roo slash-command bridge
• Simplified Chinese and Japanese READMEs with matching onboarding and workflow guidance
• Contributor and security policies, including a private vulnerability-reporting path
• CI enforcement that generated agent rules and skills remain synchronized with their source files
• Compact pipeline diagrams and a static Star History chart in every README

Changed

• Raised the Node.js baseline to 24 across local development, CI, Docker, and contributor documentation
• Refreshed Next.js to 16.3, React to 19.2.4, and related dependencies
• Updated /clone-website so later runs preserve existing pages and use isolated output for each target
• Improved multi-origin and query/fragment planning with collision-resistant namespaces and explicit route verification
• Redesigned README onboarding around the template workflow, Opus 5 recommendation, supported platforms, and community links
• Hardened the rule and skill generators for current platform schemas and deterministic output

Fixed

• Gemini CLI command validation by adding the required name and flattening the prompt schema
• Cline and Roo Code invocation, frontmatter, and argument handling
• Next.js documentation resolution in generated agent rules
• Vulnerable framework dependencies and generated-file consistency checks

Removed

• Aider from the officially supported-platform list because it cannot currently run the complete browser and subagent workflow reliably; .aider.conf.yml remains available for general project context

Security

• Documented responsible vulnerability disclosure through GitHub private vulnerability reporting
• Updated vulnerable dependencies to patched releases

Fix: platform instruction files now correctly include the Inspection Guide on Windows

The sync-agent-rules.sh script failed to resolve @file imports on Windows due to CRLF line endings, causing platform instruction files (Copilot, Cline, Continue, Amazon Q) to show <!-- Import not found --> instead of the Inspection Guide content.

Fixed

• sync-agent-rules.sh now strips \r before resolving @file imports — matches the CRLF fix applied to sync-skills.mjs in v0.3.0

Full Changelog: v0.3.0...v0.3.1

Multi-URL cloning, CI quality gates, and cross-platform polish

This release brings multi-URL support to the /clone-website skill, adds automated CI quality checks, and refines documentation and tooling across all supported platforms.

Highlights

• Multi-URL cloning — pass multiple URLs to /clone-website and each site is cloned in parallel with isolated output directories
• CI quality gates — every push and PR now runs lint, typecheck, and build automatically via GitHub Actions
• Local quality check — npm run check runs the full validation pipeline locally before you push
• Cross-platform reliability — fixed CRLF line ending handling in sync-skills.mjs for seamless Windows operation
• Better onboarding — .nvmrc and .gitattributes ensure consistent environments for new contributors

What's Changed

Added

• Multi-URL support for /clone-website — clone multiple sites in a single command with parallel processing and isolated output
• CI quality gates via GitHub Actions — automated lint, typecheck, and build on every push and PR
• npm run typecheck and npm run check scripts for local quality validation
• .gitattributes for cross-platform line ending normalization
• .nvmrc to pin Node.js 20 for contributor consistency

Changed

• Streamlined PR template — removed redundant checklist items and screenshots section
• Improved project description and README — clearer use cases, limitations, and modern wording
• Refined documentation and agent rules across all platforms for clarity and consistency
• Fixed CRLF handling in sync-skills.mjs for reliable Windows operation

Removed

• Outdated use case from README documentation

New Contributors

• @SABUJ123472 made their first contribution in #15
• @krataratha made their first contribution in #14
• @rishikeshmanohar made their first contribution in #12

Multi-Platform AI Agent Support

The template now works with 13 AI coding agents — not just Claude Code.

Supported Platforms

What's New

• Platform-specific instruction files and /clone-website skill for each agent
• Sync scripts to regenerate platform files from a single source of truth:
  • bash scripts/sync-agent-rules.sh — regenerates instruction files from AGENTS.md
  • node scripts/sync-skills.mjs — regenerates /clone-website skill for all platforms
• Updated README with Supported Platforms table and sync documentation
