v0.6.0 — decisionnode ui

✨ Introducing decisionnode ui

A local web UI bundled into the npm package as a third interface alongside the CLI and MCP server. Three views over the same store, with live MCP pulse animations.

decide ui            # foreground
decide ui -d         # background — returns the terminal
decide ui status     # check daemon
decide ui stop       # stop daemon

Three views

• Graph — force-directed similarity network (Cytoscape + fcose). Decisions are nodes, edges connect decisions whose embeddings exceed an adjustable similarity threshold. Hover-fade highlights neighborhoods.
• Vector Space — UMAP projection of the 3072-dim Gemini embeddings into 2D, drawn as actual vectors radiating from origin. Watch semantic clusters form.
• List — searchable, filterable cards grouped by scope. Each card colored by its creator (CLI / claude-code / cursor / windsurf / etc).

Live MCP pulse

When an MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Cline, …) calls search_decisions, matched nodes pulse in real time in that client's attribution color via Server-Sent Events. CLI mutations (add / edit / delete) animate live too. New lightweight append-only pulses.jsonl log avoids polluting the main activity log with read-only events.

Other 0.6.0 additions

• Detached daemon mode — decide ui -d runs the UI server in the background and returns your terminal. ui status and ui stop for daemon management.
• PNG export — download or copy the current view to clipboard at 3× DPI for sharing.
• Project switcher modal — searchable, sortable, paginated picker (replaces the old dropdown).
• Shared filter bar — text + status filters apply to all three views simultaneously.
• Side panel with full per-decision activity timeline, color-coded by source.
• First-run tour + info modal explaining each view.
• Brand-aligned colors — single yellow for CLI-added decisions, per-client colors for MCP-added (centralized in src/ui/client/lib/colors.ts).
• New module src/pulse.ts for lightweight read-only event logging.

Tech notes

• New devDependencies: esbuild, preact, cytoscape, cytoscape-fcose, umap-js, tailwindcss, @tailwindcss/cli. All bundled at build time — zero new runtime dependencies.
• New build step: scripts/build-ui.mjs (esbuild + tailwindcss + asset copy).
• Bundled UI ships in dist/ui/ inside the npm tarball.
• HTTP server uses Node's built-in http module — no Express.

Docs updated across README, CLI reference page, decisionnode-docs.md, llms.txt, docs intro, quickstart, workflows, and the homepage feature grid.

v0.5.3

Added

• .github/FUNDING.yml for GitHub Sponsors
• npm and license badge links in README (now clickable)
• "View on npm" link in website footer

Fixed

• repository.url in package.json now uses correct git+https://...git format — fixes Snyk/npm not linking to the GitHub repo

v0.5.2

What's new

Added

• -f / --force flag on decide delete, decide delete-scope, and decide edit to skip confirmation prompts — useful for scripts and AI agents
• Standalone CLI reference markdown (decisionnode-cli.md) published at decisionnode.dev/decisionnode-cli.md for LLM consumption
• CLI reference link added to docs sidebar and footer

Changed

• Removed "Results for:" line from search output for cleaner display
• Updated "Two interfaces" messaging: CLI is for you and your AI, MCP server is for your AI

v0.5.1

Add glama.json for Glama MCP registry, update README messaging

v0.5.0

What's new

• Configurable search threshold — decide config search-threshold (default 0.3). Results below the threshold are filtered out from both CLI and MCP searches.
• MCP client name tracking — history now shows which tool made each change (claude-code, cursor, windsurf) instead of generic "MCP".
• Agent behavior setting — decide config agent-behavior strict|relaxed. Changes the search_decisions tool description sent to the AI.
• Conflict detection in inline mode — decide add -s ... -d ... now checks for similar decisions, with --force to bypass.
• Colorized history output — action words, decision IDs, and source badges in color.
• Feature recordings — terminal recordings for all features on the homepage and in docs.
• "Copy page for AI" button — outputs proper markdown instead of raw text.
• Homepage redesign — feature grid with embedded terminal recordings.
• ROADMAP.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md added.
• CONTRIBUTING.md rewritten — architecture overview, codebase state, testing guide.

Changed

• Renamed search-sensitivity to agent-behavior (strict/relaxed)
• Removed MCP resource (decisionnode://instructions) — tool descriptions only
• Removed VS Code extension build artifacts from git
• Updated all docs, README, LLM docs for consistent messaging

Full changelog: https://github.com/decisionnode/DecisionNode/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

v0.3.0

• Fixed MCP setup — decide init now prints per-client instructions (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf)
• Removed .mcp.json auto-creation (didn't work reliably)
• Global decisions feature
• Inline add: decide add -s UI -d "Use Tailwind"
• decide deprecate / decide activate commands
• decide check for embedding health
• MCP conflict detection with force parameter
• Better error handling for missing API keys

Install / Update

npm install -g decisionnode
