Changelog

This document tracks releases across all plugins in the Starsim-AI repository.

starsim-ai v1.4 (2026.07.07)

Anti-pattern check hook is now scoped to Starsim projects only (detected via a starsim import or a project manifest naming starsim), so it stays silent when editing unrelated Python.
Anti-pattern matching now ignores comments and string literals, so patterns like np.random only trigger on real code.

New starsim-dev-debugging skill for diagnosing simulation errors, silent failures (no epidemic, wrong scale), and reproducibility issues.
Added a PostToolUse anti-pattern check hook that flags common Starsim mistakes (e.g. np.random, wrong lifecycle hooks, UID-vs-position confusion) as non-blocking advisories, with an accompanying starsim-antipatterns.md reference.
Added AGENTS.md documenting plugin conventions for agents.
Expanded and refined many skills from user and MNCH implementation-session feedback — including indexing, interventions, calibration, distributions, time, networks, run, and sim.
Broadened the array-indexing anti-pattern to also cover np.asarray wrapping.
Softened guidance around np.random to recommend Starsim distributions where practical rather than prohibiting it outright.

Initial release with 7 skills from Harvard's Introduction to Infectious Disease Modeling course.
Skills: basic_epi_modeling, sir-models, sir-elaborations, vaccination, vectors, parameter-estimation, surveillance.
