visual-explainer 0.11.0

on GitHub

Visual Explainer 0.11.0 makes the tool easier to install, safer to package, and less fragile in local workflows. MCP users can now choose where rendered HTML files land while keeping the default local output behavior. The release also tightens slide review, type guidance, and local responsive-navigation previews so generated pages are easier to trust before sharing. It includes several contributor-driven fixes and preserves credit in the changelog below.

Highlights

• MCP renders can use a custom local output directory without losing the default safe location.
• Cursor, Antigravity, Codex, and OpenCode install instructions are clearer, including safer Windows copy commands.
• Version metadata now has a release-time check so package and plugin versions stay aligned.
• Slide decks expose over-budget content during reduced-motion review instead of hiding it.
• Local file:// previews scroll more quietly with the responsive table of contents.

Full changelog

Highlights

• MCP users can choose where local HTML renders are saved without losing the default safe output directory.
• Install instructions are clearer across Cursor, Antigravity, Codex, and OpenCode, including safer Windows copy commands.
• Release metadata now has a guardrail so package and plugin versions stay in sync.
• Slide decks make over-budget content easier to spot during reduced-motion review.
• Local file:// previews are quieter and more reliable when using the responsive table of contents.

Added

• Added optional VISUAL_EXPLAINER_OUTPUT_DIR support for MCP renders. The default remains ~/.agent/diagrams/, and custom directories still stay inside a local output jail. Requested by @bertheto in #88.
• Added rem-based type-scale guidance for non-slide, scrollable pages, with copyable role selectors and readable minimums. Based on PR #95 by @ZanziPanzi.

Compatibility

• Documented native Cursor global and workspace skill paths, plus staged PowerShell install commands with rollback for Antigravity, Codex, and OpenCode. Credit: @bertheto for #86/#90.

Fixed

• Fixed the stale nested Claude plugin version that made Claude Code report the wrong latest version after 0.10.0, and added a version check across package, marketplace, plugin, and skill metadata. Reported by @proxet-p35 in #93.
• Added a reduced-motion slide budget check that marks vertical overflow and autoFit() fallbacks instead of silently clipping or shrinking over-budget content. Reported by @bertheto in #92.
• Guarded the responsive-nav table-of-contents history update for file:// pages so local scrolling still works without console errors. Based on PR #94 by @ZanziPanzi.
