# AIWG v2026.2.8 — "Full Catalog" Release

**Released**: 2026-02-14

This release makes all four AIWG frameworks individually deployable via the CLI and completes a comprehensive documentation audit to ensure everything reflects the current project state.

## Highlights

| What changed | Why you care |
|--------------|--------------|
| `aiwg use media-curator` | Deploy the Media Curator framework standalone — no need for `aiwg use all` |
| `aiwg use research` | Deploy the Research Complete framework standalone |
| Complete provider help | All 8 providers visible in `aiwg help` output |
| Documentation audit | Stale counts, deprecated syntax, and missing references cleaned up |

## New Framework Deployment Targets

Previously, the Media Curator and Research Complete frameworks could only be deployed via `aiwg use all`. Now they're first-class CLI targets:

```bash
# Deploy individually
aiwg use media-curator           # 6 agents, 9 commands, 9 skills
aiwg use research                # 8 agents, 10 commands

# Deploy to any provider
aiwg use media-curator --provider cursor
aiwg use research --provider copilot

# Still works — deploys everything
aiwg use all
```

### All Four Frameworks

| Framework | Command | Agents | Commands | Skills |
|-----------|---------|--------|----------|--------|
| SDLC Complete | `aiwg use sdlc` | 70+ | 50+ | 10+ |
| Media Marketing Kit | `aiwg use marketing` | 37 | 20+ | 8 |
| Media Curator | `aiwg use media-curator` | 6 | 9 | 9 |
| Research Complete | `aiwg use research` | 8 | 10 | — |

## Complete Provider Support

The help text now shows all 8 supported providers:

```
Platform Options (--provider):
  claude                Claude Code (default)
  copilot               GitHub Copilot
  factory               Factory AI
  codex / openai        OpenAI Codex
  cursor                Cursor IDE
  opencode              OpenCode
  warp                  Warp Terminal
  windsurf              Windsurf
```

All 8 providers received deployment blocks for the new frameworks — 32 provider-framework combinations now supported.

## Documentation Audit

A comprehensive audit of ~384 documentation files identified and fixed:

- **Agent counts**: "50+" and "58" → "70+" across README, USAGE_GUIDE, sdlc-complete/README
- **Deprecated CLI syntax**: `aiwg -deploy-agents --mode sdlc` → `aiwg use sdlc`
- **Missing frameworks**: media-curator and research-complete added to CLAUDE.md, README, development guide, extension overview
- **Platform count**: 4 → 8 in sdlc-complete/README
- **CalVer violation**: Renamed `v2026.01.3-announcement.md` to `v2026.1.3-announcement.md`
- **Planning archive**: 20 completed planning documents moved to `.aiwg/planning/archive/`
