v0.3.2 - 2026-02-11
Fixed
- Add more space after "Task" header in templates
v0.3.1 - 2026-02-10
Fixed
- Base vault path was resolved at compile time, embedding the CI runner's absolute path in
release binaries and causing
magma initto fail
v0.3.0 - 2026-02-10
This release marks a fundamental reorientation of Magma. Originally designed as an Elixir-based environment for generating documentation and other artefacts through direct LLM execution, Magma has been redesigned as a prompt IDE for coding agents like Claude Code, OpenCode, etc. The focus has shifted from executing prompts within Magma itself to composing prompts from project knowledge that are used in external coding agents. Key changes include a standalone CLI binary (no Elixir installation required), a new Session document type for multi-turn conversations, file reference syntax for coding agent compatibility, and the removal of the Matter/Artefact system in favor of a simpler, more flexible prompt-centric workflow.
Added
- Standalone CLI binary (via Burrito) for use without Elixir installation
- Vault discovery system with 5-level hierarchy (env var, current dir,
.magma.yaml, app config, fallback) - New document type
Magma.Sessionfor storing and managing Claude Code conversations within Magma - New link resolution style
:at_file_refwhich replaces links with the file path of the linked document in the form@"path/to/file.md", that is used by many coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor etc.) to reference files - New system config option
:include_prompt_headerto control whether the top-level header is included in compiled prompts and sessions (can be overridden per document via frontmatter) - Support for newer Elixir versions
Changed
- Default vault directory changed from
docs.magma/tomagma/ - File paths in
@-references are now relative to vault parent directory - Change name of custom prompt directory from
custom_prompts/toprompts/ - Default prompt/session template now uses "Context" (with "Knowledge Base" subsection) and "Task" sections instead of "System prompt" and "Request". The old section names are still recognized as fallbacks. The "Context" section is now optional. Persona and context knowledge transclusions are no longer included by default but can be added to templates manually.
- Prompts and initial session prompts now include the top-level header by default (previously always removed) for better context visibility in coding agent history previews (e.g., Claude Code)
- No longer dependent on Rambo causing troubles in MacOS
- Drop support for Elixir versions < 1.15
Removed
- the complete Matter/Artefact system
Fixed
- No longer produce invalid prompt result filenames with colons (in the timestamp)
v0.2.0 - 2023-12-15
Added
- Mix task
Mix.Tasks.Magma.Vault.Migrate(magma.vault.migrate) to migrate a vault to a newer version - Mix task
Mix.Tasks.Magma.Text.Type.New(magma.text.type.new) to add new custom text types.
Changed
- The configuration was moved into special config documents in the vault. These include in particular also the system prompts and default task prompts, which means they can now be easily adopted without having to touch any Elixir code.
Magma.Artefacttypes are structs now, in order to support use cases where multiple artefact instances of the same type for one concept should be supported
Fixed
- encoding issues with the "Copy to clipboard" button when the prompt contained special characters
v0.1.1 - 2023-11-03
Fixed
- a regression of the
Mix.Tasks.Magma.Prompt.CopyMix task
v0.1.0 - 2023-11-03
