v7.7.0 - Standard Double Diamond Phase Names

on GitHub

🎯 Major Change: Standard Double Diamond Phase Names

BREAKING (but backward compatible): Renamed all workflow phases to standard Double Diamond methodology names:

• /co:probe → /co:discover (probe kept as alias)
• /co:grasp → /co:define (grasp kept as alias)
• /co:tangle → /co:develop (tangle kept as alias)
• /co:ink → /co:deliver (ink kept as alias)

Why this change?

• Standard Double Diamond methodology uses Discover/Define/Develop/Deliver
• Fun names (probe/grasp/tangle/ink) now serve as playful labels, not primary names
• Makes the plugin more professional and aligned with industry standards
• All old commands still work via aliases - 100% backward compatible

✨ New Features

/co:embrace - Full 4-Phase Double Diamond Workflow

Runs complete Double Diamond workflow: Discover → Define → Develop → Deliver

/co:embrace        # Full workflow with natural language

Features:

• 3 autonomy modes: supervised, semi-autonomous, autonomous
• Quality gates with 75% consensus threshold
• Session recovery and checkpointing
• Natural language: "Build a complete authentication system"

New Phase Commands

/co:discover   # Discovery phase (🔍 probe)
/co:define     # Definition phase (🎯 grasp)
/co:develop    # Development phase (🛠️ tangle)
/co:deliver    # Delivery phase (✅ ink)

🔄 Migration Guide

No action required!

All old commands work as aliases:

/co:probe    → /co:discover ✅
/co:grasp    → /co:define ✅
/co:tangle   → /co:develop ✅
/co:ink      → /co:deliver ✅

Updating Your Workflows

Old style (still works):

"Research OAuth patterns"  # triggers probe
"Build auth system"        # triggers tangle

New style (recommended):

"Research OAuth patterns"  # triggers discover
"Build auth system"        # triggers develop

Both work identically - no breaking changes!
