- CORE VERSION: Now downloads
capiscio-corev2.3.0
- VERSION ALIGNMENT: All CapiscIO packages now share the same version number.
capiscio-core,capiscio(npm), andcapiscio(PyPI) are all v2.2.0.- Simplifies compatibility - no version matrix needed.
- CORE VERSION: Now downloads
capiscio-corev2.2.0.
- CLI-ONLY ARCHITECTURE: Package is now a pure CLI wrapper matching capiscio-python.
- Passthrough architecture - ALL commands delegated to capiscio-core binary.
- Removed programmatic API (validators, scorers, types).
- For programmatic usage, use
@capiscio/sdk(coming soon).
--wrapper-version: Display the version of the Node.js wrapper package.--wrapper-clean: Remove the cached capiscio-core binary (forces re-download on next run).
- BREAKING: Removed
CoreValidator,validateAgentCard()exports. - BREAKING: Removed
A2AValidator,FetchHttpClientexports. - BREAKING: Removed
ValidateCommand,ConsoleOutput,JsonOutputexports. - BREAKING: Removed all TypeScript types exports.
- Removed unused dependencies:
commander,glob,inquirer,jose.
- All core commands (
badge,key,gateway,validate) now work via passthrough.
- PACKAGE RENAME: The npm package has been renamed from
capiscio-clitocapiscio. - REPO RENAME: The GitHub repository has been renamed to
capiscio-node. - DOCS: Updated all documentation to reflect the new package and repository names.
- capiscio-cli: The
capiscio-clipackage is now deprecated. Please migrate tocapiscio.
- DEPRECATION NOTICE: Added a startup warning to inform users about the package rename to
capiscio.
- Binary Manager: CLI now automatically downloads, verifies, and manages the
capiscio-coreGo binary. - Dependency: The CLI requires the
capiscio-corebinary to function; managed transparently for users.
- ARCHITECTURE CHANGE: The Node.js CLI is now a lightweight wrapper around the high-performance
capiscio-coreGo binary.- Ensures 100% consistency between CLI and Core validation logic.
- Drastically improves performance and stability.
- Automatically manages the binary download and updates.
- License: Project license changed from MIT to Apache 2.0.
- BREAKING: Removed
--conservativeflag: The CLI no longer supports the--conservativemode. All validations use the unified scoring logic.
- Score Expectations Updated: Test expectations for scores have changed (e.g., 85 vs 100, 96 vs 100). Update your tests accordingly.
- Error Message Format Changed: Error messages now use the Go binary's output format, which may differ from previous CLI output.
- License Change: Project license changed from MIT to Apache 2.0. Review compliance requirements.
- BREAKING: Output format changed - Removed single "Score: X/100" in favor of three-dimensional breakdown
- BREAKING: No backward compatibility - Legacy scoring completely removed from codebase
- Scoring results now appear in every validation run without opt-in flags
- Console output enhanced with rich scoring visualization
- Documentation reorganized to feature scoring system prominently
- BREAKING: Removed legacy single score - No more "Score: X/100" output
- 1,900+ lines of new code across 5 scoring modules
- 176 total tests passing (9 new scoring integration tests)
- Zero configuration required - scoring works out of the box
- Schema-only mode respected - Availability scoring returns
nullwhen--test-livenot used - Type-safe implementation - Complete TypeScript type system for all scoring components
Version 2.0.0 introduces breaking changes to the output format.
- Old format: Single "Score: X/100" after validation
- New format: Three-dimensional scoring breakdown with Compliance, Trust, and Availability
If you're parsing CLI output:
- Console mode: Look for three separate score lines instead of one
- JSON mode: Use
result.scoringResultobject withcompliance,trust,availabilityproperties - Legacy score: No longer available - use appropriate dimension score instead
- CI/CD pipelines: Update scripts to parse new JSON structure
- Automation: Use
--jsonflag and extractscoringResultobject - Human readers: Enjoy richer, more actionable feedback!
Since there were no users of version 1.x in production, this breaking change has zero real-world impact. The new scoring system is significantly better and provides more actionable insights than the legacy single score.

- Complete A2A v0.3.0 protocol validation
- Zero external dependencies - fully self-contained
- Beautiful terminal output with comprehensive error reporting
- JSON output for seamless CI/CD integration
- Support for multiple validation strictness levels
- Intelligent agent card discovery and legacy endpoint support
Migration from Monorepo: This CLI represents a strategic extraction from the larger CapiscIO platform to provide a focused, high-performance tool that can serve as the foundation for future CI plugins and SDKs.
Community Ready: The CLI is designed for community adoption with comprehensive documentation, contributing guidelines, and a clear API for programmatic usage.
Since this is the initial release, no upgrade procedures are needed. For future releases, upgrade guides will be provided here.
