…"method"
MTHDS is the new name for the open standard. Pipelex remains the reference
implementation. This is a hard switch with no backward-compatible .plx loading.
- Add MTHDS_EXTENSION constant in helpers.py as single source of truth
- Rename Plx* classes to Mthds* (PlxFactory -> MthdsFactory, PlxConfig -> MthdsConfig)
- Rename all .plx files to .mthds (builder bundles, test fixtures)
- Update functions/variables referencing "plx" as file format
- Update TOML config sections (plx_config -> mthds_config)
- Update all CLI help text, error messages, and examples
- Update documentation and README ("workflow" -> "method" for MTHDS concept)
- Update VS Code config file associations

Note
Low Risk
Primarily documentation and developer tooling updates (VS Code configs, MkDocs nav, CLI examples) with no runtime/behavioral code changes shown in the diff; risk is limited to broken links/examples if any references were missed.
Overview
Updates the project’s public-facing terminology by replacing
.plxwith.mthdsand shifting references from workflows to methods across the README and extensive documentation (CLI examples, language spec, guides, cookbook pages).Aligns developer tooling and site configuration with the rename, including VS Code launch/config file associations and
mkdocs.ymlnavigation/metadata updates.Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit 2a6779e. This will update automatically on new commits. Configure here.
