Changelog

1.2.0

• New MCP prompts: write_like_me (task, optional context) and check_my_draft (draft, optional context). Clients such as Claude Code list them as slash commands, e.g. /mcp__writelikeme__write_like_me.
• New: accuracy benchmark (npm run bench, also part of npm test): eight samples in clearly different styles, checked against the facts the style brief should report.
• New: analyzeSamples(texts) joins non-empty writing samples with blank lines, analyzes them with analyzeText(), and adds sampleCount to the result.
• New CLI: -f/--file may be repeated and may be a directory (reads .md, .txt, .markdown files, non-recursive, sorted); it works for analyze, generate and brief. New generate --no-words leaves frequent words and signature phrases out of the SVG.
• New signature words: frequentWords now excludes contractions (any apostrophe) and an extended stopword list of generic verbs/fillers. New optional signaturePhrases — up to five most common two-word sentence openers (count >= 2) as [{ phrase, count }] — is stored in profiles and SVG metadata, and describeStyle() adds a "Typical openers" line when present.
• New MCP: analyze_text, generate_style_svg and describe_style accept text_paths (array of file paths). generate_style_svg accepts include_words (default true). generateStyleSVG takes a fourth options argument ({ includeWords: false }), as does createStyleProfile, for the privacy flag.
• Website demo: "Leave out frequent words (privacy)" checkbox on the style preview/download/copy.
• Draft checking: checkDraft(styleCode, draftText, options) scores a draft against a profile (0-1), returns pass (score >= options.min || 0.8) and up to five largest style gaps with short actionable fixes ({ signal, yours, draft, fix }), covering sentence length, formality, complexity, contraction rate, first/second person, punctuation, question/exclamation rate, tone and more. CLI: writelike-me check --style-code me.svg [draft | -f draft.md | -] [--min 0.8] [--json] exits 1 when the score is below --min for CI. MCP: check_draft (draft or draft_path, style_code_path or svg, min).
• Named contexts: profiles may carry an optional context string (stored in SVG metadata, round-trips). CLI generate --context email sets it and, without -o, defaults output to style/email.svg; describeStyle prints "Context: email." as the first line. MCP describe_style, check_draft and write_like_me accept context (resolving style/<context>.svg when no style code is given), and generate_style_svg accepts context (default output_path style/<context>.svg).
• Fix: the MCP server no longer crashes on a message that is valid JSON but not a request object (null, a string, an array). It now replies with JSON-RPC -32600 Invalid Request and keeps running.
• Fix: generate_style_svg reports the file's real size in bytes.
• MCP tools report a missing file as Could not read <path>: file not found.
• New scripts: npm run docs:dev and npm run docs:preview.
• Tests: protocol edge cases, every tool's error path, relative paths, CLI edge cases, and a check that the published package contains every file it needs.
• CI: tests run on every push and pull request (Node 14–24, Linux, Windows, macOS).

1.1.0

• New: writelike-me mcp, a dependency-free MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Qwen Code, Gemini CLI, VS Code, Windsurf, OpenCode and other MCP clients. Tools: generate_style_svg, describe_style, analyze_text, read_style_code, compare_styles, write_like_me. They never return SVG markup to the model.
• New: describeStyle() and writelike-me brief: a ~100-token style brief for any AI model.
• New CLI: generate -o, brief, inspect, write, compare, -f/--file, stdin (-), --flag=value, --version.
• New: Handler / createHandler are also exported from the main entry.
• Website demo: download, copy and import SVG style codes; copy the style brief.
• v2 style codes are upgraded to v3 when read.
• Fix: contractions such as "that's" and "it's" are counted, and the contraction score uses a realistic scale, so briefs match contraction-heavy writing.
• Fix: "I'm", "I've", "you'll" and similar count as first/second person.
• Fix: local drafts capitalize every sentence and no longer repeat phrases.

1.0.3

• Punctuation style signal; first npm release under @ai-clyde/writelikeme.
