    First public release.

    Cadence is a planning and execution system for a single developer working in Claude Code. It runs one disciplined loop, discuss then plan then execute then verify, with an atomic commit per task, opinionated defaults, and a deliberately small surface. State lives in files, not in the conversation, so you can /clear aggressively and the next command rebuilds from disk.

    What's inside:

    • 22 skills, 7 agents, and nothing you didn't ask for
    • Deterministic seams: every read and write of .planning state, model routing, and config validation runs through small zero-dependency Node scripts that emit one JSON line and never block the loop
    • Adversarial review as a first-class subsystem: a fresh-context Claude reviewer by default, pluggable OpenAI and Gemini reviewers via direct API calls with enforced structured output
    • Model routing: three canned profiles plus an auto mode with guardrails; failure escalation only ever raises
    • Git rails enforced by the harness, not prose: protected-branch guard as a PreToolUse hook, no automatic pushes, a land step that asks how you want to publish
    • Parallel execution with worktree isolation, gated by an arithmetic file-overlap check
    • Self-verifying: CI lints the prose against the code, so a documented flag, key, or path that doesn't exist fails the build

    The release was preceded by a full claims audit and a four-pass code sweep; all 43 findings were fixed before this tag, not deferred. 132 tests, typechecked, drift-linted.
