v0.29.4

Connect Claude Code to Cardinal: telemetry to the Outcomes Dashboard + unified Cardinal MCP tools, with a per-turn git_state hook that derives initiative name and type from the current branch so the Outcomes Dashboard can map sessions to repos/branches/PRs/initiatives.

Included Skills7

connectskills/connect/SKILL.md

Connect Claude Code to Cardinal — runs the device-code flow to enable telemetry to the Outcomes Dashboard AND the unified Cardinal MCP tools, in one consent.

deploy-sentinelskills/deploy-sentinel/SKILL.md

Author a Sentinel Custom Resource next to a compiled Sentinel directory and guide the user through the git-push → ArgoCD → controller reconciliation flow.

disconnectskills/disconnect/SKILL.md

Disconnect this Claude Code install from Cardinal — revoke the MCP key, strip the plugin's env block, delete local state.

install-siteskills/install-site/SKILL.md

Install a Cardinal site (perch + optional POC Lakerunner) into a Kubernetes cluster you have access to, driven by the Cardinal control-plane API.

mechanizeskills/mechanize/SKILL.md

Compile a completed Claude Code session (a past investigation) into a candidate Sentinel DAG plus rationale — a reusable procedure that could later be executed against a similar problem. Use when the user asks to /mechanize, compile a session, or extract a reusable investigation procedure. Compiles, then trial-executes the DAG against captured fixtures and checks it reaches the same conclusion the investigation did before emitting.

optimize-toolkitskills/optimize-toolkit/SKILL.md

Mine this engineer's own session telemetry for capability-fit recommendations across agents, skills, commands, and MCP tools (extract a new sub-agent or command, pin/downgrade a model tier, adopt or swap an existing capability, consolidate duplicates) and, on confirmation, write the accepted artifact into the working tree.

statusskills/status/SKILL.md

Verify the Cardinal plugin's wiring on this Claude Code install (telemetry and/or MCP).
