What's Changed

Bug Fixes

Version Fetching - Fixed stale version numbers in stack.md for new projects

• Added mcp__octocode__packageSearch to allowed-tools for real-time npm version fetching
• Added explicit version fetching protocol with package names and workflow example
• Prevents Claude from using outdated internal knowledge for versions

Directory Location - Fixed ownyourcode/ being created in wrong location

• Added "CRITICAL: You Are UPDATING, Not Creating" section
• Clarifies that ownyourcode/ already exists from installation (sibling to CLAUDE.md)
• Prevents creating duplicate directories when running own:init from project subdirectories

Files Changed

• .claude/commands/own/init.md - Both fixes applied
• scripts/project-install.sh - Version bump
• scripts/project-install.ps1 - Version bump

Full Changelog: v2.2.4...v2.2.5

v2.2.4 - Clean Install/Uninstall Fix

What's Changed

Bug Fixes

• CLAUDE.md duplication fixed - Install now checks both ./CLAUDE.md and .claude/CLAUDE.md locations, respects existing placement
• Clean uninstall - Fresh installs now fully remove CLAUDE.md on uninstall (no orphan files)
• User skills preserved - Uninstall only removes OwnYourCode skill folders, leaves user custom skills untouched

New Features

• Manifest tracking - .claude/ownyourcode-manifest.json tracks what was installed for surgical uninstall
• Windows uninstall script - Added project-uninstall.ps1 for Windows parity

Improvements

• Default CLAUDE.md location is now project root (Claude Code best practice)
• Dynamic summary shows actual CLAUDE.md location after install

Full Changelog: v2.2.3...v2.2.4

v2.2.3 - Version Accuracy Fix

Fixed

Version Accuracy in /own:init

• Added Source column to stack.md template (package.json / MCP verified / Verify at URL)
• Added Version Freshness section to remind users when to re-verify
• Prevents outdated version numbers (e.g., "React 18+") from appearing in generated docs
