0.18.0 — Agent Workflow · Kandown changelog

Added: kandown work — the agent entrypoint — a single command that prints the full agent rules (served fresh from the installed CLI version, never a stale per-project copy) plus a live board digest: column counts, tasks per column with blocked-by annotations, and a computed "next actionable task" (closest to done, unblocked, highest priority). One call gives an AI agent both its rules and its context.
Added: Layered instructions — optional ~/.kandown/instructions.md (applies to every kandown project on this machine) and .kandown/instructions.md (this project only) are appended after the base rules in kandown work output, letting users customize agent behavior globally or per project without touching the agent file.
Changed: kandown init no longer injects a rules block into AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md — it appends a single line pointing the agent at kandown work instead. Removes the drift problem of a rules copy going stale the moment the package updates, and cuts the injected footprint from a paragraph to one line.
Changed: Task commands promoted to top-level, shell prefix removed entirely — kandown list/show/create/move/assign/commit (previously kandown shell <cmd>, no alias kept). These are the most basic operations of the product; nesting them under a wrapper word only added friction for the scripts and AI agents they're built for. New kandown tasks prints the cheatsheet for this group.
Fixed: internal function names and comments across bin/kandown.js no longer reference the removed shell wrapper.
