DOX v2 turns the framework into a toolchain: Cline skills for every core workflow, an always-on rule, a one-line installer, and — the reason this is a major version — framework versioning with an upgrade path.
Why v2
From this release on, every framework copy carries a DOX vX.Y.Z marker at the top of AGENTS.md. Everything before is deliberately left unmarked: any AGENTS.md without a marker is the untracked v1 era. The mental model is one sentence — has a marker: v2+; no marker: run /dox-upgrade once to enter the versioned era. Your project content (User Preferences, Feature Map, Child DOX Index, imported rules) survives the migration.
Cline skills
Install from your project root:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpbaking/dox/main/install-cline.sh | sh(sh -s -- --global installs for every project; re-run anytime to update.)
/dox-init— initialize the tree; detects new project vs. existing codebase, and fetches the framework AGENTS.md if it is missing./dox-child— give it a folder path; it runs the boundary test and either initializes a child doc (wired into the parent) or explains why the folder does not deserve one./dox-audit— read-only health check (lint) by severity; now includes a best-effort framework version-drift check./dox-fix— audit + auto-repair of the mechanical problems; nested roots are off-limits, judgment calls come back to you./dox-upgrade— migrate the framework rules in the root AGENTS.md to the latest release without losing project content, then reconcile the tree.
Cline rule
A small always-on rule: finds each edited file's DOX root (one workspace can hold several independent projects, each with its own root), complies with that chain when it exists, and merely suggests /dox-init — once, one sentence — when it does not. It never initializes on its own.

- README now states who this fork is for (smaller/weaker models), quantifies the root-doc context overhead (~15 KB ≈ 3.5–4k tokens/session), and points consistent frontier-model users to the leaner original: https://github.com/agent0ai/dox
