1.0.0

2026

Anesis's first stable release. The CLI, the registry manifest format, and the templates, addons and stacks it scaffolds are now covered by a compatibility policy.

Added

anesis new — scaffold a project from a remote template, optionally combined with a stack (--stack) that installs a template plus a curated set of addons.
anesis template / addon / stack — install, list, inspect, remove, publish, and update registry entries.
Stacks are multi-versioned and carry a structured author (name + github), mirroring templates and addons.
anesis use / anesis undo — run and revert addon commands against a scaffolded project.
anesis outdated / anesis update — check for and apply addon updates.
anesis search — search templates, addons, and stacks.
anesis login / logout / account — GitHub-backed authentication.
anesis mcp — run an MCP stdio server exposing Anesis to AI agents.
anesis completions — shell completions for bash, zsh, fish, and PowerShell.
anesis info / anesis status — inspect CLI and project state.
Release archives are published with a SHA256SUMS file, and every installer (install.sh, install.ps1, npm, anesis upgrade) verifies the download against it before installing.
Prebuilt binaries for Linux x86_64/ARM64, macOS Apple Silicon and Intel, and Windows x86_64.
API tokens can be given an expiry date, and expired tokens stop authenticating.

Fixed

Deleting a stack removed every published version of it instead of the requested one.
Addon run steps failed on Windows because they always invoked sh -c; package-manager steps could not resolve npm/bun/pnpm/yarn shims.
The nest-saas stack referenced three addon ids that did not exist or had been renamed.
The README quick start referenced a nonexistent drizzle addon.
