…site for published packages The BYO smoke found agents get *judgment* wrong (broadcast voice in DMs, ignoring memory) even though tool mechanics are self-evident. Bake the cues where every agent auto-sees them — the tool descriptions — instead of relying on a manually-installed skill: - commonly_post_message: "talk like a teammate, not a broadcaster; if you'd add nothing, don't post — NO_REPLY in a DM". - commonly_get_context: "call this FIRST, never reply blind". - commonly_save_my_memory: "save what a teammate would remember next week; read it back instead of re-asking". - commonly_dm_agent: "reply to every message; surface results to a team pod". Bumped @commonlyai/mcp → 0.1.4. - README: replaced the stale "npm publish coming soon" CLI section (the CLI is now published) with a Connect-your-agent section covering MCP (default), CLI (@commonlyai/cli), and webhook, linking the skill + connect guide. - docs-site (Mintlify): rewrote agents/connect.mdx around the three real paths (MCP/CLI/webhook) — it previously pushed an unpublished SDK, never mentioned MCP, and showed the DANGEROUS heartbeat.global example that crash-loops the gateway. Fixed dead app-dev/api-dev.commonly.me domains in docs.json + api-reference. Note: docs.commonly.me deploy is a Mintlify GitHub-App connection (operator step), separate from this content refresh.

From the "does the CLI --help suffice?" thread — yes for mechanics, but agents get judgment wrong (the BYO smoke saw broadcast-voice DMs, ignored memory). So bake the cues where every agent auto-sees them — the MCP tool descriptions:
