Release 0.1.0 — the walking skeleton

The first PromptConnext release: onboarding gate, model health-check, and the Scope → Spec → Skill loop end to end.

ReleaseJuly 5, 2026· The PromptConnext Team

Our first release lands the walking skeleton: the complete 3S loop, running locally.

What's new

  • First-run onboarding gate. Connect and health-check at least one working model before entering the workspace — including a zero-cost local Ollama path.
  • Scope → Spec → Skill. Create a project, generate a spec, approve it, and hand off to implementation.
  • Local-first task graph. Requirements, specs, tasks, and agent runs are tracked on your machine; keys live in the OS keychain.
  • Bring-your-own-agent. Orchestrate Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or a custom agent — result capture reads back from Git.

Getting started

Install the app, pull a local model with ollama pull qwen3:8b, and pick Local Ollama in onboarding. See the getting started guide for the full walkthrough.
