v0.2.5 — Universal Multi-IDE Scaffolding, Backend Engine, DAG Orchestration & Real-time Telemetry
PixelCrew v0.2.5 is a major milestone release introducing Universal Multi-IDE Scaffolding, an enterprise-grade Universal Backend Engineering Engine, Autonomous DAG-based Task Scheduling, Real-Time Token Telemetry with a retro Lo-Fi procedural synthesizer, and the complete 2026 64-Pattern Anti-AI Slop Encyclopedia.
Universal Multi-IDE Scaffolding & Cross-IDE Architecture
Multi-Provider Registry & Scaffold Engine: Added dedicated adapters and manifest generators for Kiro (`.kiro/`), Cursor (`.cursor/`, `.cursorrules`), Google Antigravity (`.agents/`, `AGENTS.md`, `GEMINI.md`), Anthropic Claude Code (`.claude/`, `CLAUDE.md`, `.claude-plugin/`), Grok (`.grok/`), Hermes (`.hermes/`), Codex (`.codex/`), OpenCode (`.opencode/`), and Pi (`.pi/`) ([`6250119`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/6250119), [`884bfd1`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/884bfd1)).
Universal Backend Engineering Engine
Enterprise Architecture Standards: Introduced the Universal Backend Engineering Engine covering Clean Architecture, Ports & Adapters (Hexagonal), Modular Monoliths, and Event-Driven Microservices ([`96ad96d`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/96ad96d), PR [#4](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/pull/4)).
Autonomous Task Scheduling & DAG Task Planning
Modular Task Graph & Scheduler: Added DAG-based task dependency graph (`TaskGraph`), cycle detection, concurrency batching, and an autonomous `Scheduler` runtime ([`d568a68`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/d568a68)).
Real-Time Token Telemetry & Office Visual Dashboard
Live Token Telemetry Engine: Tracks token accumulation in real time with per-agent breakdowns (Creative Director, Frontend, Backend, SRE), calculating actual token usage, baseline comparison, and ~72% efficiency ratio ([`027e525`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/027e525)).
2026 Anti-AI Slop & Impeccable Design Engine
Impeccable 64-Pattern Anti-AI Slop Catalog: Integrated the comprehensive 64-pattern anti-AI slop encyclopedia into all skill definitions and code generators ([`3350f8a`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/3350f8a), [`c99fdec`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/c99fdec)).
Unified Command Suite & Reporting Utilities
New `/recap` and `/status` Commands: Added git activity recap, commit diff summaries, and real-time swarm orchestration status commands with full E2E test coverage ([`ace5334`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/ace5334), [`3746a59`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/3746a59)).
Workspace Structure
Renamed legacy `.pixel-agents/` directory to `.pixel-crew/` for cleaner brand alignment ([`ace5334`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/ace5334)).
Unified Command Catalog
Centralized 27 Floor 42 command definitions in `src/scaffold/commands-catalog.js` for single-source-of-truth generation across all IDEs ([`7c9128f`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/7c9128f)).
Refined Anti-Slop Directives
Formalized banned pattern criteria across frontend engineering, creative direction, and design system modules ([`7b826bd`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/7b826bd)).
README Brand Overhaul
Redesigned README with new banner assets, technical architecture diagrams, and detailed feature comparisons ([`3dd16b1`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/3dd16b1), [`fd7b928`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/fd7b928)).
Real-World Token Benchmarks
Documented token usage benchmarks demonstrating 72% context reduction across large-scale software tasks ([`4cd99ca`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/4cd99ca), PR [#2](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/pull/2)).
Expanded Quickstart & E2E Testing
Detailed step-by-step setup for every supported AI IDE and added comprehensive `TESTING.md` guide ([`4bfb568`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/4bfb568), [`4ce3ab0`](https://github.com/hiroqt/PixelCrew/commit/4ce3ab0)).
