SLIM CLI v2.0.0 - Major Release

We're excited to announce the release of SLIM CLI v2.0.0! This major version brings significant improvements and new capabilities to help you apply NASA-AMMOS SLIM best practices more effectively.

⚠️ Breaking Changes & Important Notes

AI Integration Changes

Legacy AI support has been deprecated in favor of the MCP (Model Context Protocol) plugin approach:

• ❌ Deprecated: Direct --use-ai <model> with LiteLLM integration (will show warnings)
• ✅ New Approach: Use --use-ai mcp to generate coordination prompts for MCP-enabled coding agents
• 🔧 Migration: Install the MCP plugin to use AI features with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider, or other compatible coding agents

# Old approach (deprecated, will show warnings):
slim apply -b readme -r <repo> --use-ai ollama/llama3.1

# New approach (recommended):
slim apply -b readme -r <repo> --use-ai mcp
# Then copy the generated prompts to your coding agent

🆕 What's New

This major release represents a significant milestone in SLIM CLI's evolution, bringing enhanced functionality and improved user experience for applying software best practices to your repositories.

Key Features

• MCP Plugin Integration: Seamless integration with coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider
• Enhanced AI Coordination: Generate structured prompts for coding agents to apply best practices
• Documentation Generation: AI-powered Docusaurus site generation through coding agents
• Rich CLI Experience: Modern terminal interface with progress indicators
• Model Management: New slim models command for AI model discovery and setup
