# 0.28.0 — 2026-07-20 — "Agent Instruction Modes & CLI Reference"

- **Added**: **3 Base Agent Rule Modes (Verbose, Optimized, Caveman)** — redesigned the Agent instructions settings into 3 distinct rule density modes. Users can choose between **Verbose** (full reference guide), **Optimized** (concise, high-density structured rules tailored for LLMs), and **Caveman** (ultra-compact minimal token rules).
- **Added**: **Quick CLI Commands Reference in Agent Rules** — added a concise CLI cheatsheet table (`kandown work`, `kandown list`, `kandown show`, `kandown create`, `kandown move`, `kandown assign`, `kandown commit`) right at the top of base rules across all modes so AI agents immediately know the native CLI commands available to interact with the board.
- **Added**: **3-Step Numbered Layout for Agent Settings** — reorganized the Agent Instructions settings page into 3 clear numbered step cards: Step 1 (Base Rules mode & density), Step 2 (Project Guidelines stored in `.kandown/instructions.md`), and Step 3 (Live Board State data filters).
- **Added**: **Quick Preset Instruction Chips** — added 1-click template insertion chips (`📦 pnpm`, `🧪 Test rule`, `🌳 Git rule`, `⚡ Task log`) below the project instructions editor for adding repository rules instantly.
- **Added**: **Terminal-Style Sticky Live Preview Panel** — added an independent sticky preview panel on the right with window dot indicators, token estimation badge, layer legend badges (🟢 Step 1, 🟡 Step 2, 🔵 Step 3), 1-click Copy button, and real-time interactive color highlighting when hovering over options.
