Release Notes

Recent release history for the Wire Framework. For full changelog detail from v3.0.0 onwards, see CHANGELOG.md.

v3.9.5 — Auto-delegation for all generate commands + docs expansion​

Released: June 2026

Every generate command now auto-delegates to its specialist agent — not just migration commands. v3.9.5 extends the delegation protocol to all 44 remaining generate specs across requirements, discovery, design, development, testing, deployment, and enablement.

Key changes:

  • 11 new shared utility specs (specs/utils/*_delegate.md) — same 4-step protocol as the migration delegate: check agent definition, re-entrancy guard, dispatch to specialist, inline fallback
  • Auto-delegation preamble added to all 44 non-migration generate specs
  • Docs site: How Wire Works page added to Getting Started
  • Docs site: mermaid diagrams now centred sitewide
  • Docs site: "First release?" info admonition added before /wire:new block in all 12 release-type tutorials
  • Docs site: Platform Migration ## MCP server connections section — Snowflake, BigQuery, Fivetran, RudderStack, Coupler.io, Segment, Airbyte, Hightouch, VPC tunnel
  • Homepage colour updated to #4F60FF, feature highlights corrected to 50+ slash commands
  • LICENSE now included in the wire-plugin dist package

v3.9.4 — Docs cleanup and bundling fix​

Released: June 2026

Version strings and documentation pages updated to reflect v3.9.3/v3.9.4 changes. Docusaurus docs-site bundled into the plugin release via build-packages.sh. No spec or behaviour changes beyond v3.9.3.

v3.9.3 — Migration generate commands auto-delegate to migration-specialist​

Released: June 2026

All 16 migration generate commands now check for the wire:migration-specialist agent definition and dispatch to it automatically — closing the gap where delegate.md documented per-command auto-delegation but no individual migration spec implemented it.

Key changes:

  • New shared utility spec specs/utils/migration_agent_delegate.md — 4-step delegation protocol: check for agent definition, re-entrancy guard, dispatch to wire:migration-specialist, inline fallback
  • Auto-delegation preamble added to all 16 migration generate specs: target-setup, dbt-migration, ingestion-migration, migration-strategy, migration-inventory, cutover, db-object-audit, dbt-audit, ingestion-audit, orchestration-audit, orchestration-migration, reverse-etl-audit, reverse-etl-migration, security-audit, migration-report, lineage
  • utils/migration-agent-delegate compiled as a registered command in the plugin so installed instances resolve the spec reference at runtime

See Wire Agents and Platform Migration for full details.

v3.9.2 — dashboard-mock-developer and mock-data-developer agents​

Released: June 2026

Two new specialist agents activate exclusively for dashboard_first releases, bringing the total to 14.

dashboard-mock-developer owns the interactive mockup phase. It generates an HTML mock immediately from requirements, iterates with you until approved, then produces three derived artifacts atomically: dashboard_visualization_catalog.csv, dashboard_spec.md, and data_model_requirements.md. The last file is the primary input for data-designer and mock-data-developer.

mock-data-developer handles seed data and data refactor — two time-separated phases. Phase 1: CSV seed files with referential integrity and domain-realistic distributions, allowing dbt seed && dbt run before any client data access. Phase 2: repoints staging models from seeds to real client sources once access is confirmed, with a written refactor plan before any code changes.

See Wire Agents and Dashboard-First for full details.

v3.9.1 — Fan-out parallelism for large dbt model sets​

Released: June 2026

/wire:delegate gains fan-out parallelism: when a dbt layer has more than 5 models, it splits the layer into batches of 5 and runs one dbt-developer agent per batch in parallel. Layers remain sequential (staging → integration → warehouse); agents within each layer wave run concurrently. The same fan-out applies to semantic-layer-developer (by explore) and migration-specialist (by source system).

v3.9.0 — Wire Agents Phase 1: 12 Specialists + /wire:delegate​

Released: June 2026

The agent taxonomy expands to 12 specialists covering every Wire release type. The orchestration command is rewritten for local execution — no managed agents API required, no external API key beyond the user's existing Claude Code subscription.

Key changes​

  • /wire:delegate replaces /wire:orchestrate — dispatches pending release work to specialist subagents using Claude Code's native Agent tool. Runs on the user's workstation, using their existing API key. No managed agents service needed.
  • Each agent appends non-obvious decisions to decisions.md as it works — downstream agents and human reviewers use this as a lightweight audit trail.
  • Auto-delegation: individual generate and validate commands now delegate to the appropriate specialist automatically. Review commands stay in the main session.
  • All 12 agent definitions are bundled into the distributed plugin under agents/.

See Wire Agents for full usage.

v3.8.6 — Wire Agents Phase 1: Initial Eight Agents​

Released: June 2026

First cut of the specialist agent system. Superseded by v3.9.0 which expanded the taxonomy and replaced the orchestration model.

  • Eight initial agents: dbt-developer, lookml-developer, dashboard-prototyper, migration-auditor, qa-agent, data-quality-agent, stakeholder-interviewer, playbook-generator
  • /wire:orchestrate command (replaced by /wire:delegate in v3.9.0)
  • status.md gains an agents block: mode, active sessions, completed sessions
  • /wire:upgrade surfaces /wire:orchestrate for releases created before v3.8.6

v3.8.5 — Wire-Aware PR Template​

Released: June 2026

  • New /wire:utils-pr-create command — reads execution_log.md and status.md to auto-populate a pull request body
  • /wire:new Step 10.5 now scaffolds .github/pull_request_template.md at engagement setup
  • PR template sections: release folder, artifacts changed, Wire commands run, Wire commands next, Jira/Linear links

v3.8.4 — dbt Migration Companion YAML Coverage​

Released: June 2026

dbt-migration-generate and dbt-migration-validate now cover the companion schema/properties YAML alongside the model SQL.

  • Explicit repointing of sources.yml to the target namespace (parameterised database/schema)
  • Translation of source-dialect SQL inside singular tests, where: filters, and dbt_utils/dbt_expectations arguments
  • Column-level policy_tags/meta authored into the YAML when column protection is dbt-managed
  • New validate Check 7: enforces companion-YAML coverage — un-repointed sources.yml, untranslated test SQL, or dropped policy-tag config all fail

v3.8.3 — Reverse ETL Parallel-Workspace Migration​

Released: June 2026

Hightouch migration defaults changed to reduce production risk during warehouse migrations.

  • Parallel-workspace topology (new default): clone the Hightouch config repo into a fresh workspace pointed at the target warehouse, validate with syncs disabled, then enable — leaving the source-backed workspace untouched until cutover. In-place source re-point retained as a fallback.
  • Validation is now preview-based against a frozen source baseline: destination connections present but disabled; sync previews and record-level inspection only.
  • Added sync-level transformation review: field mappings, computed fields, sync filters, match/identity-resolution rules, and audience inclusion/exclusion per sync — a matching model output doesn't guarantee a matching sync.

v3.8.2 — /wire:upgrade and Wire Adoption Review​

Released: June 2026

/wire:upgrade​

Brings an existing release status.md up to date with the current plugin version's schema.

  • Adds missing YAML sections and keys from the canonical template for the release type
  • Stamps wire_plugin_version and last_upgraded_at
  • Surfaces new commands that weren't available when the release was created
  • --dry-run flag to preview changes without modifying files
  • Idempotent — safe to re-run. Complements /wire:migrate (which handles layout changes); /wire:upgrade handles schema drift within an already-correct layout.

cowork-wire-adoption-review skill​

New Wire Work plugin skill — generates structured Wire and Claude Code adoption reports from BigQuery telemetry (ra-development.analytics.coding_agent_prompts_fact).

Three report types:

  • Project-level: adoption rate, command usage, session lifecycle compliance, discovery phase gap analysis, recurring manual patterns, recommendations
  • Consultant-level: individual usage patterns across engagements, comparison to RA average
  • Company-wide: cross-engagement analysis — what worked, what didn't, standardisation progress

Enriches from GitHub delivery repos, Jira, and Fathom meeting context when available.

v3.8.1 — Platform Migration Translation Improvements​

Released: June 2026

  • Two new platform-pair translation examples: array-membership joins (FLATTEN / IN UNNEST / ARRAY_CONTAINS) and ARRAY_AGG null and struct-array semantics
  • New dbt_neutral_translation.md: macro-first hierarchy (dbt built-in → dbt_utils → dispatched macro → target.type last) and equivalence-testing backbone for dual-target projects
  • New snowflake_to_bigquery/translation_reference.md: exhaustive deep reference with a 25-item silent-behaviour-change checklist
  • New /wire:dbt-migration-lint: static, offline pre-warehouse equivalence lint (dialect parse-check + silent-behaviour-change rules) run before the live equivalency loop
  • New feature-detection tags: flatten_join, array_agg, in_unnest

v3.8.0 — Droughty Integration​

Released: June 2026

Integrates the Droughty schema-introspection toolkit as a first-class Wire release type. Droughty is a bottom-up, schema-driven complement to Wire's top-down document-driven workflow.

Nine new /wire:droughty-* commands:

CommandWhat it does
/wire:droughty-setupInstall pinned Droughty, generate profile.yaml and droughty_project.yaml
/wire:droughty-introspectSchema inventory: tables, columns, estimated row counts, PK/FK coverage
/wire:droughty-dbmlDBML entity-relationship diagram from live warehouse schema
/wire:droughty-docsAI-generated field descriptions for all warehouse columns (requires OpenAI key)
/wire:droughty-qaLangGraph data quality agent report (requires OpenAI key)
/wire:droughty-stagedbt staging SQL + sources.yml from a BigQuery dataset
/wire:droughty-dbt-testsPattern-based schema.yml tests from deployed table schema
/wire:droughty-lookmlBase LookML views from deployed dbt tables; writes to views/generated/
/wire:droughty-generateFull Droughty phase in sequence

Two operating modes: discovery/audit (maps an existing warehouse — no dbt deployment needed) and post-dbt (generates the base LookML and test layer from deployed dbt models, feeding into /wire:semantic_layer-generate).

See the Droughty release type for a full walkthrough.

v3.7.x — Platform Migration, Agentic Data Stack, Snowflake​

Released: June 2026

Major features added across the v3.7 series:

  • v3.7.7 — Full Snowflake support: estate audit via Snowflake MCP server; all Snowflake-native object types catalogued (Dynamic Tables, Streams, Tasks, Pipes, Semantic Views, masking/row-access policies). Hightouch reverse ETL audit added as a sixth platform_migration audit track.
  • v3.7.5 — Interactive lineage visualisation: /wire:lineage-generate produces a self-contained HTML dependency explorer showing the full dbt graph from raw source to warehouse object. Six layers: Ingestion → Seeds → Staging → Integration → Warehouse → DB Objects.
  • v3.7.4 — agentic_data_stack gains an explicit LookML views step (/wire:ads_lookml-views-generate/validate/review) between canonical models and the semantic layer build.
  • v3.7.3 — Agentic Data Stack release type: 41 new ads_ commands across five phases (Audit, Design, Build, Validate, Deploy). Addresses governance failures — accuracy failures in analytics agents are almost always caused by too many tables or conflicting metric definitions.
  • v3.7.0 — Platform Migration release type: full warehouse-to-warehouse migration lifecycle (BigQuery ↔ Snowflake ↔ Databricks) with six parallel audit tracks: database objects, dbt models, dashboards, pipelines, orchestration, and reverse ETL.

v3.5.x — Agentic Commerce, Droughty Preview​

Released: May 2026

  • v3.5.0 — Agentic Commerce release type: AI-powered ecommerce storefront delivery. Uses Lovable for rapid base storefront generation (React 18 + Vite + Tailwind + Shopify Storefront API), GitHub bidirectional sync, and Supabase as the backend. Nine feature commands: storefront, semantic_search, conversational_assistant, virtual_tryon, visual_similarity, llm_tools, personalisation, ucp_server, demo_orchestration.

v3.4.x — Discovery SOP, Jira/Linear, Dashboard-First​

Released: March–May 2026

  • v3.4.9 — Dashboard-First release type: rapid Looker dashboard development from business questions without full upstream dbt build
  • v3.4.3 — Discovery SOP (canonical) release type: structured discovery following the RA Standard Operating Procedure
  • v3.4.0 — Jira and Linear issue tracking integration: one Epic per project, Tasks per artifact, Sub-tasks per lifecycle step; /wire:utils-linear-create for Linear project setup

v3.3.x — Document Store Integration​

Released: January–February 2026

  • v3.3.0 — Confluence and Notion document store integration: all generate commands publish artifacts to the configured store; review commands surface reviewer comments and document edits as review context. Configured at engagement setup via /wire:new Step 9.5.

v3.0.0 — Initial Release​

Released: October 2025

Wire Framework initial release.

  • Six-phase delivery lifecycle: Requirements → Design → Development → Testing → Deployment → Enablement
  • 12 release types covering the full data platform delivery scope
  • Claude Code (Anthropic) and Gemini CLI (Google) runtimes
  • Artifact generate/validate/review pattern with execution log and decision audit trail
  • Fathom MCP integration for surfacing meeting context during reviews
