Asim Aslam 7b9c583dcf blog: "How Go Micro Builds Itself" — the autonomous Codex loop (#3090)
A post on how the framework is increasingly built by an autonomous loop of
two AI agents (Codex implementing scoped increments, Claude Code
orchestrating, the human setting direction): the dispatch→build→auto-merge
mechanism, the three altitudes (architect/increment/DevRel), the failure
modes we hit wiring it up, and the concrete increments it produces.

Asim Aslam 8a19dc2d7c docs/blog: anchor the agent-harness positioning (#3015)
- Add the canonical concept doc 'The Agent Harness' (docs/guides/agent-harness.md)
  + nav entry: what the harness is, each piece mapped to a feature, honest
  about shipped vs in-progress.
- Add blog post /blog/30 'Go Micro is an Agent Harness' (the public articulation;
  precise about what ships today vs the Now/Next roadmap).
- Align the ROADMAP.md opening line to the agent-harness framing.

Asim Aslam 2c04f61331 blog: announce OpenAI Codex for Open Source grant (/blog/29) (#3003)
Add a blog post for the OpenAI Codex for Open Source grant, list it on
the blog index, and repoint the OpenAI sponsor logo (README + landing) to
the post — matching how the Anthropic (/blog/3) and Atlas Cloud (/blog/8)
sponsor logos link to their posts.

Asim Aslam cdc6ee9aa1 examples: support desk agent + blog walkthrough (#2983)
A real-world, runnable example (examples/support): customers/tickets/notify
services become the agent's tools, a flow turns a ticket.created event into
the agent's work, and an approval gate guards the one action that touches a
customer. Runs with no API key (mock model) or against a live provider.

Adds blog/28 'Building a Support Agent in Go' and indexes both.

Asim Aslam c7657f73f4 Refactor agent plan storage, update docs, and release v6 (#2977)
goreleaser / goreleaser (push) Has been cancelled
* test(harness): read agent plan from the scoped store

The store-scoping change moved an agent's plan from the default table
key agent/{name}/plan to its own table (database "agent", table {name},
key "plan"). The plan-delegate harness tests still read the old key and
failed with 'not found'; read through store.Scope(mem, "agent", name)
like the agent does.

* docs: orient agents-first across README, landing, and docs overview

Lead with agents (then services and flows), surface MCP + A2A as the
interop story, and frame agents as services. Landing hero and feature
grid reordered agents-first with an A2A gateway card.

* v6: module path go-micro.dev/v6, TLS secure by default, NewService

Cut v6. Three breaking changes, bundled so the major bump is paid once:

- Module path go-micro.dev/v5 -> go-micro.dev/v6 across all imports + go.mod.
- TLS verification on by default (was off). MICRO_TLS_SECURE removed;
  MICRO_TLS_INSECURE=true opts out for self-signed/dev.
- micro.NewService(name, opts...) is the canonical service constructor,
  symmetric with NewAgent/NewFlow; micro.New kept as a deprecated alias;
  the old name-less NewService(opts...) removed. Generators emit NewService.

Also ports the JWT auth token provider in-module (go-micro.dev/v6/auth/jwt/token
on golang-jwt/jwt/v5), dropping the v5-pinned github.com/micro/plugins/v5/auth/jwt
and the deprecated dgrijalva/jwt-go.

Docs/README/landing updated to v6 and @latest; v5->v6 migration guide added;
CHANGELOG cut as [6.0.0]. Blog posts left at their historical versions.

Asim Aslam 307b94aab7 Implement A2A protocol gateway and update documentation (#2974)
goreleaser / goreleaser (push) Has been cancelled
* feat(a2a): Agent2Agent protocol gateway

Add gateway/a2a — exposes registered agents over the open A2A protocol so
agents on other frameworks can discover and call them. Agent Cards are
generated from registry metadata (the same way the MCP gateway derives
tools from service endpoints); incoming A2A tasks translate to the
agent's existing Agent.Chat RPC, so there's no per-agent code.

v1 is the synchronous JSON-RPC binding: message/send returns a completed
Task, tasks/get retrieves it, and Agent Cards are served for discovery;
streaming and push notifications are advertised as unsupported. Run with
'micro a2a serve' (cmd/micro/a2a). Tests cover card generation,
message/send, tasks/get, listing, and unknown-method errors.

* docs: A2A guide, README contents + A2A section, universe A2A check

- Add a Contents table of contents at the top of the README and an A2A
  subsection under Building Agents.
- Add the Agent2Agent (A2A) guide and register it in the docs nav.
- Exercise the A2A gateway in the universe harness: the concierge agent
  is reached over A2A (message/send -> Agent.Chat -> completed task).

* feat(a2a): outbound client — call external A2A agents

Add a2a.Client (Send/Card) so a Go Micro agent or flow can call an agent
on any framework by URL — the outbound counterpart to the gateway. Wired
in two places: flow.A2A(url) as a workflow step (the cross-framework
Dispatch), and agent delegate to an http(s) URL routes over A2A. The
universe harness now drives the gateway through the client, exercising
both directions. Tests cover client send/card and the round trip.

* docs: A2A both-directions — guide, README, changelog, blog #26

Asim Aslam 7ee32e8721 Update changelog and enhance retrospective blog on agentic features (#2973)
* docs: changelog catch-up + retrospective blog (agentic development)

Add the headline agentic features that shipped this quarter but were
never logged (agents, plan/delegate, guardrails, workflows, x402) to the
changelog, and add blog #25 — a three-month progress reflection on Go
Micro becoming a framework for agentic development.

* docs: tighten retrospective post — cut slogans, triads, and filler

* docs: tighten retrospective intro, bridge, and conclusion for a single through-line

* docs: frame Go Micro as how you build a distributed system, not run one

Asim Aslam 9fdcc24cce Implement durable execution and scoped state management for flows (#2972)
* docs: design note for flow steps + Checkpoint durable execution

* docs: fold in durable-execution decisions (State struct, single Step, run retention, retry)

* docs: rename State.Payload to State.Data

* feat(flow): ordered steps + Checkpoint durable execution

A flow can now be an ordered list of steps (a task with stages) instead
of a single LLM turn. State carries typed Data plus a Stage marker; each
step is checkpointed before and after via a pluggable Checkpoint
(store-backed by default), so a run survives a crash and resumes where it
stopped without re-running completed steps. Flow-level Retry with a
per-step override; runs retained for audit unless DeleteOnSuccess.

Step actions: Call (RPC), LLM (augmented turn), Dispatch (to an agent),
or any StepFunc. Single-step and agent-dispatch flows are unchanged.

* feat(flow): top-level re-exports + durable flow example

Expose the step/checkpoint API from the micro package (FlowSteps,
FlowStep, FlowState, FlowRetry, FlowWithCheckpoint, FlowCall/LLM/Dispatch,
Checkpoint, StoreCheckpoint) and add a runnable, key-free example
demonstrating crash + resume.

* docs: document durable flow steps (guide, README, CLI help)

* docs: blog post + changelog for durable workflows

* fix(flow): scope checkpoint keys by flow name (flow/{name}/runs/{id})

Run keys were flow/runs/{id} — a single global keyspace shared by every
flow on the default store. Namespace them by flow name so each flow's
state is kept apart. StoreCheckpoint now takes a scope argument (the flow
passes its name by default).

* feat(store): Scope handle; scope agent and flow state by name

Add store.Scope(s, database, table) — a store handle that confines every
operation to a database/table without mutating the shared store, so
co-located components don't clobber each other's table (the failure mode
of the global Init(Table(...)) approach).

Use it to keep each agent's memory and plan in its own table
(agent/{name}) and each flow's runs in its own (flow/{name}), instead of
one global table partitioned only by key prefix. Services already scope
by service name.

* feat: consistent state model — service store scoping, flow registry, list/history CLI

- service: scope store via store.Scope (database service / table name),
  retiring the Init(store.Table(name)) global-mutation hack; bridge the
  default store so handlers using store.DefaultStore stay isolated.
- flow: register in the registry as type=flow while running (with trigger
  and step count), deregister on Stop. Live discovery, like agents.
- cli: micro flow list (registry), micro flow runs <name> (durable store),
  micro agent history <name> (durable store). list = running, runs/history
  = durable, mirroring the service model.

* test: mini-universe end-to-end harness + scheduled GitHub Action

internal/harness/universe boots a small but real go-micro world — four
services, a durable checkout flow that crashes at payment and resumes,
and a guardrailed agent with a tool wrapper reached over RPC — drives the
scenario, asserts the end state (10 checks), and shuts down. Everything
is real except the LLM (mocked), so it's deterministic and needs no key;
-provider anthropic runs it live. Exits non-zero on failure, so it's an
end-to-end test, not just a demo.

Adds .github/workflows/universe.yml (push/PR/daily/dispatch) running the
universe + existing harnesses on the mock provider, plus an opt-in job
that runs live when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set. 'make harness' runs them
locally.

* ci: run the live universe job against AtlasCloud (ATLASCLOUD_API_KEY)

* ci: run the live universe job only on schedule or manual dispatch

The deterministic mock job still runs on push/PR/daily; the live
(AtlasCloud) job runs daily and on manual workflow_dispatch only, so
changes don't burn API credits on every PR but can still be checked
against a real model on demand.

Asim Aslam e079e083da feat(agent): loop detection guardrail + document/blog agent guardrails (#2968)
Add LoopLimit: refuse a tool call repeated with identical arguments in
one Ask, with a self-heal message so the model changes approach. Catches
the no-progress loop that MaxSteps (count) and the gateway circuit
breaker (failures) miss. Enforced at the same tool-handler choke point as
MaxSteps/ApproveTool; on by default (lenient 3); AgentLoopLimit(0) to
disable. Tests cover repeats, distinct calls, disabled, and default-on.

Docs: new Agent Guardrails guide (MaxSteps/LoopLimit/ApproveTool, the
ApproveTool integration seam for external policy engines, and the
gateway's RateLimit/CircuitBreaker), nav + README + AGENT_DESIGN updates,
and blog/23 'Agent Guardrails'.

Asim Aslam e4d2a41c32 refactor(x402): Amount/Amounts naming + per-tool amounts + docs (#2965)
goreleaser / goreleaser (push) Has been cancelled
Follow-up to the merged x402 integration (#2964). Drop the commerce-y
'price' vocabulary for the protocol's own 'amount', and add per-tool
pricing as an operator concern (the way scopes/rate-limits are set at the
gateway).

- x402.Config: Price -> Amount (default), plus Amounts map for per-tool
  overrides; AmountFor(tool) resolves per-tool -> default. Add a Require
  primitive (per-request enforcement) and LoadConfig for an operator
  config file.
- MCP gateway: enforce payment per-tool inside /mcp/call (where scopes
  are enforced) using AmountFor, instead of a flat path-based middleware.
- CLI: --x402-price -> --x402-amount; add --x402-config (per-tool file)
  to micro mcp serve and micro-mcp-gateway.
- docs: new Payments (x402) guide + nav + README section; blog/22
  updated to Amount/Amounts and the config-file model.

Asim Aslam 9deac487cb feat(x402): opt-in agent-native payments for tools (#2964)
Integrate the x402 payment protocol (HTTP 402) so a tool can require a
stablecoin payment and an agent can settle it — the next step after
autonomous agents (blog 21): agents that act, and pay.

- wrapper/x402: HTTP middleware enforcing the 402 challenge/verify flow,
  with a pluggable Facilitator interface. Go Micro carries no chain or
  crypto code — verification/settlement is delegated to a facilitator
  (Coinbase CDP, Alchemy, self-hosted), so Base and Solana are just
  different facilitators behind one interface. HTTPFacilitator default;
  tests cover challenge / accept / reject via a mock facilitator.
- MCP gateway: optional Options.Payment gates /mcp/call (listing tools
  and health stay free); off unless configured.
- micro mcp serve and micro-mcp-gateway: opt-in --x402-pay-to/-price/
  -network/-facilitator flags (env vars on the standalone binary).
- blog/22 'Integrating x402: Payments for Agents'; README feature row.

Pricing is flat per call for now; richer models and an agent-side spend
cap (next to MaxSteps/ApproveTool) are follow-ups.

Asim Aslam 6eec83a045 blog: 'When the Event Is the Prompt' (#21) + autonomous agent-flow harness (#2962)
The autonomy direction: agents that run on events, not human prompts.

- internal/harness/agent-flow: a runnable, deterministic demo — a
  user.created broker event drives a Flow that hands off to a registered
  agent (FlowAgent), which creates a workspace and sends a welcome over
  real RPC. Only the LLM is mocked; passes under -race.
- blog/21: 'When the Event Is the Prompt' — the shift from agents you
  talk to, to agents that act on their own; where microagents become
  real; and the honest bar autonomy raises (guardrails, observability,
  durable/resumable execution — the next things to build).

Asim Aslam 9dae4e34b7 Enhance README with sponsorship CTA and improve agent architecture (#2961)
* docs: add 'become a sponsor' call-to-action linking to Discord

Now that there are a couple of sponsors, invite more: a short CTA under
the Sponsors section in the README and on the landing page, pointing to
the Discord to get in touch.

* fix(health): remove duplicate RegistryCheck declaration

Two PRs (#2957 and #2958) each added a RegistryCheck to the health
package, leaving the package uncompilable on master (RegistryCheck
redeclared: health/registry.go vs health/health.go). Keep the
health.go implementation — it honors the check's context timeout so a
hung registry (e.g. an unreachable etcd) reports down instead of
blocking the probe — and remove the duplicate registry.go and its test.
registry_check_test.go already covers healthy/down/nil/timeout/not-ready.

* feat(agent): pluggable memory and custom tools

Make agents compose the way services do — pluggable pieces with working
defaults — by adding the two abstractions an agent needs beyond the model:

- Memory: a pluggable interface for conversation memory. The default is
  store-backed and durable across restarts (the previous hardcoded
  behavior, now behind an interface); supply your own with WithMemory
  (in-memory, database, semantic store). NewMemory / NewInMemory provided.
- Custom tools: WithTool registers any function as a tool the agent can
  call, so agents are no longer limited to orchestrating RPC services.

Both exposed at the micro package (AgentMemory, AgentTool, NewMemory,
NewInMemory). Behavior-preserving refactor of the agent's history into
the default Memory; tests cover persistence, in-memory, clear, custom
tool dispatch and errors. README + AGENT_DESIGN document the pluggable
composition (model / memory / tools / guardrails).

* blog: 'Doubling Down on Agents' (#20)

The vision post for making agents a first-class framework the way
services were: opinionated, batteries-included, pluggable. Frames an
agent as a composition of model + memory + tools + guardrails with
working defaults; introduces the new pluggable memory and custom tools;
makes the microagents argument (an agent for everything, distributed
like microservices); and lays out the three primitives — services,
agents, workflows — as one substrate, with an honest list of the gaps
still to fill (knowledge/retrieval, streaming, explicit loop).

Asim Aslam 550033dcce Optimize image formats and fix lease re-registration issue (#2959)
* perf: convert generated PNGs to optimized JPEGs (12MB -> 1.5MB)

The landing and docs loaded 18 AI-generated PNGs at 0.5-1MB each. They're
1200x800 RGB illustrations with no transparency, so they recompress ~8x
as progressive JPEG (quality 82) with no visible loss. Convert all,
update every reference (.png -> .jpg), and drop the originals (including
the unused hero.png). Generated images: 12.3MB -> 1.5MB.

* fix(registry/etcd): re-register when a lease silently expires (#2956)

The keepalive rework (long-lived KeepAlive instead of KeepAliveOnce)
moved lease renewal entirely onto the keepalive goroutine; the 30s
periodic Register now skips on the 'unchanged' check. The goroutine only
reacted to the keepalive channel closing, so a lease that expired
server-side without a prompt channel close (e.g. a partition that
outlasted the 90s TTL) left the node de-registered from etcd while the
cache still believed it was registered — and nothing re-registered it.
That is the hidden-failure mode reported in #2956.

React to a non-positive TTL keepalive response the same as a channel
close: drop the cached lease/hash so the next Register performs a full
re-registration. Extract the loop into keepAliveLoop and unit-test the
TTL-expired, channel-closed, and healthy paths (no etcd required).

Asim Aslam d3be610367 Refactor README features and add end-to-end flow testing (#2954)
goreleaser / goreleaser (push) Has been cancelled
* docs: group README features by section (AI / Framework / DX)

The features table repeated 'AI' down the Category column. Split into
three grouped tables — AI, Framework, Developer experience & deployment —
dropping the repetitive column. Adds a Guardrails row (MaxSteps,
ApproveTool).

* test: flow-to-agent end-to-end in the harness

Proves 'Flow triggers, Agent reasons': a workflow with FlowAgent hands an
event to the registered conductor agent over RPC, which plans, creates
tasks, and delegates to comms — the whole chain over real RPC with only
the LLM mocked. Deterministic (shared in-memory registry, no sleeps),
passes under -race.

* blog: 'The Evolution of Microservices' (#19)

A technical history of distributed-systems eras — the monolith's
coordination cost, the distributed-systems tax, containers and
declarative orchestration, the service mesh, and the modular-monolith
correction — establishing the durable unit (named, typed, discoverable,
independently deployable) that every runtime wave required. Then the
technical argument for agents: an LLM tool call needs exactly a service
interface, so the caller shifts from deterministic code to a reasoner
that composes typed capabilities from intent, with the honest caveats
(non-determinism, cost, guardrails). Not a product pitch.

Asim Aslam 35bc58e5d2 Enhance onboarding experience and clarify workflows vs agents (#2953)
* blog: 'Not Everything Should Be an Agent' (#18) on workflows

The workflow counterpart to the plan/delegate post: when the path is
known, use a deterministic Flow, not an autonomous agent. Frames flow vs
agent as two modes of the same building blocks, covers flow-triggers-
agent dispatch and the agent guardrails, and gives the simplest-first
guidance (single call -> workflow -> agent). Continues the arc from
blog 14/16/17; references Building Effective Agents in passing.

* docs: fix new-user onboarding friction

- README: lead Quick Start with a no-key 30-second path (micro new ->
  micro run -> curl), then the AI --prompt path with an explicit
  'export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY' so the headline command no longer fails
  silently for users without a key.
- Unify all install versions to v5.26.0 (README + docs were split across
  v5.16.0 / v5.25.0).
- Refresh the docs landing overview from the old 'microservices
  framework' framing to 'services and agents', matching the README.
- getting-started: add Prerequisites (Go 1.21+, and that a provider key
  is only needed for AI features).
- README features: Flows -> Workflows wording.

Asim Aslam cb33decd97 Add built-in plan and delegate tools for agents with examples (#2949)
* feat: add plan and delegate as built-in agent tools

Give agents two self-capabilities, expressed as plain tools wired into
the existing tool handler — no harness or graph, consistent with
"services are the only abstraction":

- plan: record/update an ordered plan, persisted to store-backed memory
  and surfaced in the system prompt on later turns (externalized
  planning).
- delegate: hand a self-contained subtask to another agent.
  Delegate-first — if the target names a registered agent it is called
  via RPC; otherwise a focused ephemeral sub-agent is created with
  agent.New + Ask in a fresh, isolated context (loads/persists no
  history, no built-in tools, so it cannot re-delegate).

Both are added automatically to any non-ephemeral agent, so existing
micro.NewAgent services and micro chat routing get them for free.
Tests are hermetic (memory store + memory registry).

* feat: add agent-plan-delegate example and document plan/delegate

- examples/agent-plan-delegate: coordinator that plans multi-step work,
  creates tasks with its own tools, and delegates notification to a
  separate registered comms agent over RPC.
- integration tests driving the full Ask loop through a fake provider:
  plan tool exposure + persistence, ephemeral delegation with isolated
  context, delegate-first RPC routing to a registered agent.
- docs: README (Building Agents + features + examples), AGENT_DESIGN
  (Built-in Capabilities), agent-patterns guide (Pattern 9), CLAUDE.md.

* docs: blog post and guide for plan & delegate

- blog/17: "Plan & Delegate: Deep Agents in Go" — what the feature is,
  how plan and delegate work, and a runnable getting-started path.
- guides/plan-delegate: reference guide with the smallest-agent snippet,
  plan/delegate semantics, and the multi-agent example; linked in nav.
- example: auto-detect provider/key from common env vars (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
  OPENAI_API_KEY, ...) so 'export KEY && go run main.go' just works.
- onboarding: getting-started paths now include go mod init / go get and a
  clone-and-run path, so a reader can actually run it from a cold start.

* refactor: reframe plan/delegate blog and clean up sub-agent construction

- blog/17 retitled "Agents That Plan and Delegate" and reframed around
  intent (plan = state intent, delegate = direct it), positioned as the
  next beat after blog 15/16 and tied to the existing store + agent RPC
  rather than re-announcing them. "Deep agents" now a single in-passing
  nod, matching how blog 14 references LangChain.
- agent: add unexported newEphemeral constructor for sub-agents instead
  of type-asserting the public Agent interface to set an internal field;
  matches the options-only construction idiom used elsewhere.

* feat: expose plan & delegate in the micro chat fallback

Add agent.Builtins(opts...) — returns the built-in tools plus a handler,
so the plan/delegate capabilities can be wired into a tool loop that
isn't a running Agent. micro chat's direct-service fallback now reuses
it (single source of truth, no duplicated handler logic), so planning
and delegation are available there too, not just for registered agents.
Adds a test for the accessor; notes CLI availability in the guide.

that agents are real services with proto-defined endpoints. Updated
Ask() method name.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* docs: update agent design doc and blog posts for RPC-based agents

Rewrote AGENT_DESIGN.md — agents are services with proto-defined
Agent.Chat endpoints, communicate via RPC, no broker dependency.
Includes proto definition, CLI examples, generation output.

Blog 15: replaced broker references with RPC.
Blog 16: added proto definition and micro call example.

Asim Aslam f7c042ef26 docs: update blog posts 15 and 16 to reflect RPC-based agents (#2941)
Blog 15: replaced broker-based agent communication with RPC —
agents are services, they communicate via standard RPC, no pub/sub
hacks. Updated the framework mapping section.

Blog 16: added proto definition, micro call example, and explanation
that agents are real services with proto-defined endpoints. Updated
Ask() method name.

Asim Aslam 1bc886fa82 Introduce Agent abstraction and integrate with chat router (#2939)
* docs: Agent interface design sketch

Proposes Agent as a top-level abstraction alongside Service in the
micro package. Agent manages services — scoped tools, system prompt,
conversation memory, registry-discoverable.

Design only, no implementation.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: Agent as a first-class abstraction

Introduce micro.NewAgent() alongside micro.New() — Agent is to
intelligence what Service is to capability.

Agent interface:
- Chat(ctx, message) (*Response, error) — core interaction method
- Run() — registers in registry, subscribes to broker, blocks
- Stop() — graceful shutdown
- Scoped tools — only sees endpoints of its assigned services
- Persistent memory — conversation history stored in store
- Agent-to-agent — communication via broker topics

Top-level API:
  agent := micro.NewAgent("task-mgr",
      micro.AgentServices("task"),
      micro.AgentPrompt("You manage tasks."),
      micro.AgentProvider("anthropic"),
  )
  agent.Run()

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: wire agents into chat router, add micro agent CLI, expose Flow

Three top-level abstractions:
  micro.New("task")              — Service (capability)
  micro.NewAgent("task-mgr")     — Agent (intelligence)
  micro.NewFlow("onboard-user")  — Flow (event-driven orchestration)

micro chat as router:
- Discovers agents from registry on startup
- Single agent: routes directly
- Multiple agents: LLM classifies intent, dispatches to right agent
  via route_to_agent tool
- No agents: falls back to current direct-service behaviour
- Banner shows discovered agents

micro agent CLI:
- micro agent list — shows registered agents and their services
- micro agent describe <name> — shows agent details from registry

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: move flow to top level, update docs for three abstractions

Package structure now consistent:
  service/   — Service (capability)
  agent/     — Agent (intelligence)
  flow/      — Flow (event-driven orchestration)

ai/flow/ kept as backward-compatible re-export.

Updated across all surfaces:
- CLAUDE.md: added agent/ and flow/ to project structure
- README: added "Building Agents" section with NewAgent() examples,
  updated features table (Agents, Flows, Chat router), CLI table
  (agent list, agent describe), docs links
- Website: features grid shows Services, Agents, Flows as the three
  pillars alongside generation, MCP, and pluggable architecture
- micro.go: Flow imported from top-level flow/ package

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* docs: rewrite getting-started, fix ai-integration import paths

Getting started now covers all three abstractions:
- Service (write handlers, micro run, templates)
- Agent (micro.NewAgent, scoped tools, memory, CLI)
- Flow (event-driven LLM orchestration)
Leads with prompt-based generation, then manual service creation.

ai-integration.md: fixed flow import path from go-micro.dev/v5/ai/flow
to go-micro.dev/v5/flow, updated stack diagram to show agent/flow/chat.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* blog: Introducing micro.NewAgent()

Post 16 — announces Agent as a first-class abstraction. Shows the
API (NewAgent, AgentServices, AgentPrompt, AgentProvider), scoped
tools, persistent memory, multi-service agents, multi-agent systems,
and the three-abstraction comparison table (Service/Agent/Flow).

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: fix agent registration, blog post 16

Agent registration:
- Add node with address so mDNS can discover agents
- Store type and services in node metadata (mDNS requirement)
- Connect broker before subscribing, non-fatal if broker unavailable
- Print registration confirmation on Run()

Agent/chat discovery:
- Check both service-level and node-level metadata for type=agent
  (mDNS stores metadata on nodes, not services)

Blog post 16: "Introducing micro.NewAgent()" — announces the Agent
abstraction with code examples, comparison table, multi-agent patterns.

Tested end-to-end: micro run → micro agent list discovers the agent →
micro chat routes to it → agent calls service endpoints.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: agents are proper services with RPC Chat endpoint

Refactored agent to use server.Server instead of fake registry entries.
An agent now:
- Creates a real RPC server with server.Name(agentName)
- Registers an Agent.Chat handler callable via standard RPC
- Sets server metadata type=agent, services=x,y for discovery
- No more fake addresses or broker hacks

micro chat calls agents via RPC (client.Call) instead of creating
local agent instances. The registry stays clean — agents are real
services with real endpoints.

Removed broker dependency from agent options. Agent-to-agent
communication is just RPC like everything else.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: agent uses proto-defined RPC interface

Added agent/proto/agent.proto with Agent service definition:
  rpc Chat(ChatRequest) returns (ChatResponse)

Agent now implements the generated AgentHandler interface and
registers via pb.RegisterAgentHandler. The Chat endpoint is a
standard proto-based RPC callable by any go-micro client.

Renamed the programmatic API from Chat() to Ask() to avoid
collision with the proto handler method name.

micro chat calls agents via standard RPC with JSON-encoded
request/response — no special types needed on the caller side.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: generate agent alongside services, update all docs

micro run --prompt now generates an agent binary that manages all
the generated services. The agent reads MICRO_AI_PROVIDER and
MICRO_AI_API_KEY from the environment. micro run propagates these
when started with --prompt.

Run banner shows services and agents separately.

Updated README, getting-started guide, and landing page to show
the complete flow: generate → services + agent start → micro chat
routes to agent → agent orchestrates services.

Asim Aslam 844ac5bc52 Revamp landing hero and introduce agent-based microservices model (#2938)
* docs: update landing hero — describe it, run it, talk to it

Lead with the AI-first experience instead of "write services in Go."
The entry point is now describing what you need, not writing code.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* blog: Agents for Services — a new model for microservices

Post 15 — explores the concept of distributed agents managing
services. Each service has an agent assigned to it (not embedded
in it). Agents are the intelligence layer; services are the
capability layer. Multi-service agents span domain boundaries.
Agent-to-agent communication through the broker.

* docs: restructure README — AI story completes before manual code

Quick Start now flows through the full AI experience: generate →
review → run → chat → grow (mid-conversation service generation).
The reader sees the complete prompt-to-production story without
interruption.

"Writing Services" is a separate section below for developers who
want to understand the framework underneath. Shows Go code, doc
comments, @example tags, micro run, and scaffolding templates.

Asim Aslam d3c4981326 Enhance AI service generation with prompt-based architecture and logic (#2926)
goreleaser / goreleaser (push) Has been cancelled
* feat: add micro new --prompt and micro run --prompt

Add AI-powered service generation: describe a system in natural
language and get real go-micro services with proto definitions,
handlers, doc comments, and MCP support.

micro new --prompt "a contact book with notes and tags" \
  --provider anthropic

Generates:
  contacts/ — CRUD service with name, email, phone fields
  notes/    — notes linked to contacts
  tags/     — tagging system

Each service gets:
  proto/{name}.proto   — domain model + CRUD endpoints
  handler/{name}.go    — in-memory store, @example tags for MCP
  main.go              — MCP-enabled, proper imports
  go.mod + Makefile     — compiles with go mod tidy + make proto

micro run --prompt does the same then starts all services.

The LLM designs the architecture (service names, fields, endpoints,
descriptions) and returns structured JSON. Code generation uses
the existing template patterns — the output is standard go-micro
code that compiles, runs, and is immediately callable via MCP
and micro chat. No AI dependency at runtime.

* feat: LLM generates real business logic with compile-fix loop

Rebuild the generate package so the LLM writes actual handler
code with business logic, not just CRUD scaffolding.

The flow is now:
1. LLM designs architecture (service names, fields, endpoints)
   → returns structured JSON
2. Proto, main.go, go.mod, Makefile generated deterministically
   from the design (guaranteed to be correct)
3. go mod tidy + make proto compiles the protos
4. LLM generates handler code with REAL business logic
   → given the proto, endpoint descriptions, and go-micro patterns
5. go build — does it compile?
6. If no: feed errors back to LLM, get fixed code (up to 3 attempts)
7. If yes: service is ready

The handler prompt instructs the LLM to:
- Use sync.RWMutex for thread-safe in-memory state
- Include validation, edge cases, meaningful errors
- Write doc comments with @example tags for MCP
- Implement actual domain logic, not just map operations

Proto generation still uses deterministic templates (CRUD +
custom endpoints from the design spec) to guarantee correctness.
The compile-fix loop catches LLM mistakes automatically.

Both micro new --prompt and micro run --prompt use this flow.

* fix: handle edge cases in prompt-based generation

- Fix PATH for protoc-gen-micro in child processes
- Handle existing directories: skip structural files (main.go,
  go.mod, Makefile) if dir exists, always regenerate proto,
  only write placeholder handler if none exists
- Allow re-running micro new --prompt on same directory to
  iterate on business logic without clobbering user edits

Tested end-to-end: "a simple todo list with tasks and categories"
generates 2 services (task-service, category-service) with real
business logic (validation, toggle complete, etc.), compiles
after 1 fix iteration, and runs with 6 MCP tools discovered.

* feat: auto-detect modified handlers on regeneration

Instead of requiring a --keep-handlers flag, the generate package now
tracks a SHA-256 hash of each generated handler in a .micro metadata
file. On re-run, if the user has edited the handler since generation,
it's left untouched. Unmodified handlers are regenerated normally.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: add tests, fix go.mod, gitignore, proto tracking, spinner

- Add 12 tests covering helpers, proto generation, hash tracking
- Fix go.mod: write minimal module file, let go mod tidy resolve deps
- Add .gitignore to prompt-generated services
- Protect user-edited proto files (same hash tracking as handlers)
- Add spinner during LLM calls so it doesn't look hung

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: signal handling, existing service discovery, help text

- Ctrl+C during generation now cancels LLM calls immediately via
  signal-aware context; re-run picks up where it left off
- Design() scans for existing services in the working directory and
  includes their proto definitions in the prompt, so the LLM extends
  the system rather than redesigning from scratch
- Updated --prompt help text with usage examples on both new and run
- Listed all supported providers in flag descriptions
- Added discoverExisting test

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: show endpoints in run --prompt output, add micro chat hint

Print endpoint names and descriptions when designing services so users
see what was built. Add a micro chat hint to the run banner so users
know how to interact with their services after startup.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* fix: generated go.mod uses go 1.24 with explicit go-micro require

go 1.22 with no explicit require caused Go to resolve sub-packages
(gateway/mcp, client, server) as separate modules, hitting stale v1.18
tags. Pin to go 1.24 + require go-micro.dev/v5 v5.24.0 so go mod tidy
resolves all sub-packages from the root module correctly.

Tested end-to-end: 4 services generated and compiled successfully.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* fix: skip handler regeneration when proto unchanged

Compare proto hash before and after structure generation. If the proto
didn't change and the handler wasn't edited by the user, skip go mod
tidy, make proto, LLM handler generation, and compile-fix entirely.
Prints "(unchanged)" instead.

Reduces re-run of 4-service project from ~2 minutes to ~10 seconds.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: confirm design before generating code

Show the service design (names, endpoints) and prompt "Generate? [Y/n]"
before spending LLM time on handler generation. Applies to both
micro new --prompt and micro run --prompt. Default is yes (enter).

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* fix: use port :0 for MCP in generated multi-service projects

Each generated service had mcp.WithMCP(":3001") hardcoded, causing
port conflicts when running multiple services. Use :0 to auto-assign
a free port. micro run's central gateway handles unified MCP access.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: truncation detection, tool result display in chat

- Detect truncated LLM responses (unbalanced braces, doesn't end
  with '}') and retry with a conciseness hint before falling through
  to compile-fix
- Show tool call results in micro chat output (← for success, ✗ for
  errors) so users can see what the LLM did
- Add Result/Error fields to ToolCall, populated by Anthropic provider
  after tool execution
- Add isTruncated tests

Tested end-to-end with Anthropic: services generate, compile, start,
register, respond to RPC calls, and micro chat discovers and calls
tools correctly.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* fix: Anthropic tool loop, service naming, chat tool results

Anthropic provider:
- Fix tool execution loop to properly iterate (was re-processing all
  tool calls instead of only new ones each round)
- Clean assistant content blocks before sending back (strip 'id' from
  text blocks that Anthropic rejects on input)
- Include tools in follow-up requests so model can make additional calls
- Loop up to 10 rounds until model responds with text only

Service naming:
- Strip '-service' suffix from micro.New() name so services register
  as 'task', 'category' instead of 'taskservice', 'categoryservice'

Chat:
- Show tool results (← for success) and errors (✗) in chat output

Tested end-to-end: create task → list tasks works as multi-step
orchestration through micro chat with Anthropic Claude.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: blog post 13 — from prompt to production

Covers the full micro run --prompt flow: design, generate, compile-fix,
run, and chat orchestration. Positions agent-as-orchestrator as the
answer to service coordination.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* fix: timeouts, max_tokens, TTY detection, smaller services

- Add 60s timeout on design, 90s on handler generation, 60s on
  compile-fix LLM calls so hung providers don't block forever
- Bump Anthropic max_tokens from 4096 to 8192 to reduce truncation
- Add TTY detection: spinner prints static message in non-TTY (CI/pipes)
  instead of ANSI escape codes
- Tighten prompts: max 200 lines per handler, 2-4 services, 5-8 fields,
  explicit "services don't call each other" rule

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: chat suggests creating services when capabilities are missing

Update system prompt with the list of available services. When the user
asks for something no existing service can handle, the agent explains
what's available and suggests the exact micro new --prompt command to
create the missing service.

This is the natural evolution path: start with a few services, talk to
them via chat, and when the domain grows, the agent tells you what to
add. Each service stays small and focused.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: chat generates and starts services inline, drop -service suffix

Chat agent now has a micro_generate_service tool. When the user asks
for a capability that doesn't exist, the agent generates the service,
compiles it, starts it as a background process, waits for registration,
re-discovers tools, and uses the new endpoints immediately — all within
the conversation.

Service naming: design prompt now instructs LLM to return names without
'-service' suffix (e.g. 'task' not 'task-service'). buildMain keeps
TrimSuffix as safety net for backward compatibility.

Spawned processes are cleaned up when chat exits.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* docs: rewrite blog post 13 with inline service generation

Updated to reflect the full UX: services generate and start within
the chat conversation. Added the shipping example showing the agent
creating a service mid-conversation. Removed -service suffix from
all examples. Tightened the narrative around agent-as-orchestrator.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01QTp4SshuVmLAvvEGJe4TJd

* feat: persistent storage, README quickstart, auto-detect new services

Storage: generated handlers now use go-micro's store package instead
of in-memory maps. Data persists across restarts. The handler prompt
includes store API examples so the LLM generates correct store usage.

README: added "Generate From a Prompt" section with micro run --prompt
and micro chat examples, linking to blog post 13.

Watcher: micro run now scans for new service directories every 5s. When
micro chat generates a service, micro run detects the new directory,
builds it, starts it, and adds it to the watcher — fully automatic.
Added AddDir/Dirs methods to the watcher.

Blog: updated post 13 with persistent storage example and watcher note.

Asim Aslam 5d7609027b Enhance CLI with color output and add teardown blog post (#2923)
* feat(cli): add color output to micro chat and micro api

micro chat:
- Startup banner matching micro run style: bold header, cyan
  provider/model, green dots for each discovered tool endpoint
- Cyan bold prompt (> ) instead of plain
- Yellow arrow (→) with dimmed tool name for tool calls
- Red "error:" prefix for errors
- Dimmed "(history cleared)" for reset

micro api:
- Startup banner matching micro run style: bold header, cyan
  address, colored HTTP methods (green GET, yellow POST)

Brings the CLI UX closer to what the generated terminal
screenshot depicts — color-coded, professional, readable.

* feat(cli): adopt consistent color output across all commands

Apply the same banner/output style across the remaining commands:

micro new:    bold header, cyan service name, green ✓, cyan URLs
micro build:  green ✓ checkmarks, cyan file paths
micro deploy: bold header, cyan target
micro mcp:    bold header, green dots per tool, dimmed count
micro flow:   bold header, cyan flow/topic/provider

All commands now follow the micro run/chat/api pattern:
bold header, cyan values, green status indicators, dimmed hints.

* docs: add "Tools as Services" blog post

Write blog/12 — connects the AI story back to Go Micro's original
design: services were always self-describing, named, and uniformly
callable. The path from API gateway to MCP to LLM tools is the
same pattern — read the registry, present services in a format
the consumer understands, route calls back.

Covers the access layer pattern (HTTP, web, CLI, MCP, chat),
why doc comments became functional in the AI era, and how the
framework primitives (registry, broker, store) could all become
tools using the same mechanism.

Add to blog index, link forward from blog/11.

Asim Aslam 888dbbca4a Refactor AI tool handling and enhance CLI command documentation (#2920)
goreleaser / goreleaser (push) Has been cancelled
* refactor(ai): rename ToolSet to Tools, simplify wiring with WithTools

Move tool discovery/execution fully into the ai package as ai.Tools
(formerly ai.ToolSet), and simplify the usage model:

- NewTools(reg, ai.ToolClient(c)) takes the execution client as an
  option instead of threading it through Handler(c) per call
- New ai.WithTools(tools) option wires the tool handler into a model
  in one call, replacing ai.WithToolHandler(set.Handler(c))
- ai.DiscoverTools(reg) for one-shot discovery

Before:
  set := ai.NewToolSet(reg)
  list, _ := set.Discover()
  m := ai.New(p, ai.WithToolHandler(set.Handler(client)))

After:
  tools := ai.NewTools(reg, ai.ToolClient(client))
  list, _ := tools.Discover()
  m := ai.New(p, ai.WithTools(tools))

Update ai/flow, micro chat, README, ai integration doc, Atlas Cloud
guide, and blog posts 3/8/9/10.

* feat(cli): add per-interface commands (registry, broker, store, config)

Map go-micro's core interfaces onto the CLI so the framework's
building blocks are inspectable and manipulable from the terminal:

  micro registry list/get/watch       service discovery
  micro broker publish/subscribe      pub/sub messaging
  micro store read/write/delete/list  persistence
  micro config get/dump               dynamic config (from env)

Structured pluggably in cmd/micro/resource: each interface is one
file exposing a Command() func, all wired through a commandFuncs
slice in resource.go. Adding a new resource command is a single
file plus one slice entry. Shared printJSON/fail helpers keep
output and errors consistent across commands.

Each command's verbs mirror the interface methods. Output is JSON
for structured data, raw for single values. Update README and
getting-started with an "inspecting the framework" section.

* docs: update CLI README with all new commands

Add documentation for commands that were missing from the CLI README:
- micro new --template (crud, pubsub, api)
- micro api (standalone HTTP gateway)
- micro registry list/get/watch
- micro broker publish/subscribe
- micro store read/write/delete/list
- micro config get/dump
- micro chat (interactive LLM agent)
- micro flow run/exec (event-driven orchestration)
- micro mcp serve/list/test

Organized into sections: API Gateway, Inspecting the Framework
(registry, broker, store, config), and AI & Agents (chat, flow, mcp).

* refactor(ai): move History from caller to Request field

History is now pure state (no Generate method). Instead, pass it
via Request.History and call ai.Generate(ctx, model, req):

Before:
  hist := ai.NewHistory("system prompt", 50)
  resp, _ := hist.Generate(ctx, model, prompt, tools)

After:
  hist := ai.NewHistory(50)
  resp, _ := ai.Generate(ctx, model, &ai.Request{
      Prompt:       prompt,
      SystemPrompt: "system prompt",
      Tools:        tools,
      History:      hist,
  })

The model is always the thing you call. History is context you
pass in. ai.Generate() handles the bookkeeping: prepends
accumulated messages before the call, records the exchange after.

NewHistory no longer takes a system prompt (it belongs on the
Request, where it always did).

Update micro chat, ai/flow, and all blog posts/docs.

* refactor(ai): make History a plain message accumulator

History no longer has Generate or touches the model. It's just
Add/Messages/Reset/Len with truncation — a helper for building
Request.Messages across turns.

Before:
  hist := ai.NewHistory(50)
  resp, _ := ai.Generate(ctx, m, &ai.Request{History: hist, ...})

After:
  hist := ai.NewHistory(50)
  hist.Add("user", prompt)
  resp, _ := m.Generate(ctx, &ai.Request{Messages: hist.Messages(), ...})
  hist.Add("assistant", resp.Reply)

Remove History field from Request. Remove package-level
ai.Generate(ctx, model, req) wrapper — users call m.Generate()
directly, which is the interface method. History is a convenience
for accumulating messages, not a participant in generation.

Update micro chat, ai/flow, blog posts 9 and 10.

Asim Aslam c4b4cbef25 refactor(ai): rename ToolSet to Tools, simplify wiring with WithTools (#2917)
Move tool discovery/execution fully into the ai package as ai.Tools
(formerly ai.ToolSet), and simplify the usage model:

- NewTools(reg, ai.ToolClient(c)) takes the execution client as an
  option instead of threading it through Handler(c) per call
- New ai.WithTools(tools) option wires the tool handler into a model
  in one call, replacing ai.WithToolHandler(set.Handler(c))
- ai.DiscoverTools(reg) for one-shot discovery

Before:
  set := ai.NewToolSet(reg)
  list, _ := set.Discover()
  m := ai.New(p, ai.WithToolHandler(set.Handler(client)))

After:
  tools := ai.NewTools(reg, ai.ToolClient(client))
  list, _ := tools.Discover()
  m := ai.New(p, ai.WithTools(tools))

Update ai/flow, micro chat, README, ai integration doc, Atlas Cloud
guide, and blog posts 3/8/9/10.

Asim Aslam a9421e5b7e Update logo design, add AI integration documentation and blog post (#2916)
* feat: update Go Micro logo to interconnected nodes design

Replace the text-on-blue-square logo with a modern icon: three
teal nodes connected in a triangle, representing distributed
systems. Generated via Atlas Cloud. Clean at all sizes — works
as GitHub avatar, favicon, and nav bar icon.

* feat: new logo, AI integration architecture doc, and landing page CTA

Update logo to triangle-nodes icon + "Go Micro" text wordmark.
Save icon-only variant for favicon/avatar use.

Add docs/ai-integration.md — a single page that explains how the
AI stack fits together: services → registry → MCP gateway →
ai/tools → ai.Model → micro chat. Layer-by-layer with code
examples, provider table, and "what you don't need" section.

Add AI Integration to docs sidebar navigation (after Getting
Started). Update the landing page AI section with a direct CTA
button linking to the new doc.

* fix: restore original logo and add border-radius to all renders

Revert logo to original. Add border-radius: 8px to the logo img
in the landing page nav, docs layout nav, and blog layout nav
so the square logo renders with rounded corners everywhere.
Remove unused icon.png.

* docs: add micro chat blog post

Write blog/10 — a dedicated post for micro chat covering:
- What it does (interactive LLM agent for services)
- How it works (ai/tools → ai.History → ai.Model stack)
- Multi-turn conversation examples
- All provider options and env vars
- Single prompt mode for scripting
- Why it works (registry metadata + doc comments = tool descriptions)
- Programmatic usage with the same building blocks
- Link to micro flow as the event-driven counterpart

Add to blog index. Update blog 9 nav to link forward.

Revert logo to original. Add border-radius: 8px to the logo img
in the landing page nav, docs layout nav, and blog layout nav
so the square logo renders with rounded corners everywhere.
Remove unused icon.png.

* feat(ai): add ai/flow package and micro flow CLI

Add ai/flow — event-driven LLM orchestration for go-micro. A Flow
subscribes to a broker topic, discovers services as tools, and
feeds each event into an LLM that decides which RPCs to call.

Key types:
- flow.New(name, opts...) creates a flow with trigger topic,
  prompt template, provider config
- flow.Register(registry, broker, client) wires it into a service
- flow.Execute(ctx, data) runs the flow once (for testing/CLI)
- flow.Results() returns execution history

Add micro flow CLI with two subcommands:
- micro flow run: subscribe to a topic and react to events
- micro flow exec: one-shot execution with inline data

Both output JSON results with flow name, prompt, tool calls,
reply, answer, duration, and errors.

Example:
  micro flow run --trigger events.user.created \
    --prompt "New user: {{.Data}}. Send welcome email." \
    --provider anthropic

  micro flow exec --prompt "List all users" --provider anthropic

* docs: update flows blog post with ai/flow package and CLI examples

Add "Update: We Built It" section to blog/9 showing the ai/flow
package API, CLI usage for both event-driven and one-shot modes,
and what it does/doesn't do. Links the conceptual discussion to
the shipped implementation.

Asim Aslam c26d74a8a1 Add CRUD, pub/sub, and API gateway templates; update AI features (#2909)
* feat(website): redesign docs and blog layouts, add blog header images

Redesign both layouts to match the new landing page:
- Consistent nav bar with logo, Docs, Blog, GitHub, Reference, Home
- Consistent footer with copyright and links
- CSS custom properties for theming
- Updated typography, spacing, and code block styling
- Active sidebar link highlighting in docs
- Dark mode support preserved

Generate 4 blog header images via Atlas Cloud:
- blog-deploy.png for post 1 (micro deploy)
- blog-mcp.png for posts 2, 3, 7 (MCP-related)
- blog-agents-demo.png for post 4 (agents demo)
- blog-dx.png for post 5 (DX cleanup)
- Reuse data-model.png for post 6 (model package)

All 7 existing blog posts now have header images.

* fix(website): prevent horizontal scroll on mobile landing page

Add overflow-x: hidden on html and body. Set max-width: 100% and
height: auto on all section and two-col images. Add overflow:
hidden to .two-col grid. Constrain hero pre with max-width and
overflow-x. Reduce font sizes and padding at mobile breakpoint.

* feat(website): add images to remaining core doc pages

Generate 5 more images via Atlas Cloud for docs:
- registry.png: service discovery diagram
- broker.png: pub/sub message broker pattern
- transport.png: multi-transport layers (HTTP, gRPC, NATS)
- config.png: dynamic configuration from multiple sources
- observability.png: monitoring dashboard with metrics/traces

Add images to registry.md, broker.md, transport.md, config.md,
observability.md, and architecture.md. All 11 main doc pages
now have header images.

* feat: add sponsor logos to landing page, README images, and flows blog post

Add Anthropic and Atlas Cloud sponsor logos to the landing page
with links to their respective blog posts. Logos display at 0.7
opacity with hover effect.

Add architecture and MCP agent images to the GitHub README for
the Overview and MCP sections.

Write blog post 9: "From Chat to Flows" — explores the concept
of LLM-powered service orchestration. Compares micro chat's
interactive model with persistent event-driven flows, shows how
the existing building blocks (ai/tools, History, broker) could
compose into a flow engine, discusses tradeoffs vs traditional
orchestration (Step Functions, Temporal), and includes a working
15-line code example. Explicitly positions it as a concept for
community feedback, not an announcement.

* feat(website): add animated hero video to landing page

Generate a 6-second hero video via Atlas Cloud's image-to-video
API (gemini-omni-flash). Shows the microservices network diagram
animating with data flowing between nodes.

Replace the static hero image with an autoplay muted looping
video element. Falls back to the static image via poster
attribute and img fallback for browsers without video support.

* feat(ai): add VideoModel interface with Atlas Cloud provider

Add ai.VideoModel interface for video generation alongside Model
and ImageModel. Supports text-to-video and image-to-video via
VideoRequest with prompt, reference images, duration, aspect
ratio, and resolution fields.

Implement GenerateVideo for Atlas Cloud using their async API:
POST /api/v1/model/generateVideo → poll /api/v1/model/prediction.
Default model is gemini-omni-flash image-to-video. Polls every
5 seconds until completion or context cancellation.

Register Atlas Cloud as a video provider via ai.RegisterVideo.
Add 3 tests: registration, no-key error, compile-time interface
check. Update ai/README.md with VideoModel docs.

The ai package now covers all three modalities:
- Model (text) — 7 providers
- ImageModel (image) — 2 providers (Atlas Cloud, OpenAI)
- VideoModel (video) — 1 provider (Atlas Cloud)

Asim Aslam 669481224c Enhance AI features with ImageModel, History, and website updates (#2907)
* feat(cli): add CRUD, pub/sub, and API gateway templates for micro new

Add --template flag to 'micro new' with three preset templates:

- crud: CRUD service with Create/Read/Update/Delete/List, in-memory
  store with sync.RWMutex, UUID generation, pagination, and doc
  comments with @example tags for MCP tool discovery.

- pubsub: Event-driven service with Publish/Stats RPCs and a
  Subscribe method that hooks into the broker. Includes event
  types with ID, type, source, data, and timestamp.

- api: API gateway service with Health and Endpoint RPCs, an
  internal HTTP route table, and a response recorder for
  proxying requests through RPC.

All templates include MCP-ready doc comments and work with
--no-mcp. The default template (no flag) is unchanged.

Usage:
  micro new myservice --template crud
  micro new myservice --template pubsub
  micro new myservice --template api

* fix(ai): update Atlas Cloud provider to use actual API formats

Fix the Atlas Cloud image generation to use their real async API:
POST /api/v1/model/generateImage → poll /api/v1/model/prediction/{id}
instead of the OpenAI-compatible endpoint which doesn't exist.

Add Quality and OutputFormat fields to ai.ImageRequest for
provider-specific image parameters.

Update default text model from llama-3.3-70b (doesn't exist) to
deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3-0324 (their flagship model). Update
default image model to openai/gpt-image-2/text-to-image.

* feat(website): add AI-generated images to landing page, docs, and blog

Generate 5 images via Atlas Cloud's image API (gpt-image-2) to
elevate the website experience:

- hero.png: microservices network graph for landing page
- architecture.png: registry + broker architecture diagram
- mcp-agent.png: AI agent calling services via MCP
- developer-experience.png: terminal showing micro run/chat
- blog-atlas.png: Atlas Cloud unified API illustration

Add visual sections to the landing page with architecture,
MCP integration, and developer experience showcases. Add
images to docs index, MCP docs, and Atlas Cloud blog post.

All images resized to 1200px wide and optimized for web.
Generated using Atlas Cloud sponsor credits.

* feat(website): redesign landing page and add images to docs

Redesign the landing page from a centered card layout to a
full-width modern site with:
- Top navigation bar
- Hero section with gradient background and CTA buttons
- Full-width image showcase sections
- Two-column layout for architecture, MCP, and DX sections
- Feature grid with 6 capabilities
- Footer with links
- Responsive breakpoints for mobile

Generate 3 more images via Atlas Cloud for docs:
- getting-started.png for the getting started guide
- deployment.png for the deployment guide
- data-model.png for the data model docs

Add images to getting-started.md, model.md, and deployment.md.

goreleaser / goreleaser (push) Has been cancelled
Add ai.ImageModel interface for text-to-image generation alongside
the existing ai.Model for text. Uses the same options pattern
(WithAPIKey, WithBaseURL) and the same provider registration
system (RegisterImage/NewImage).

Implement GenerateImage for Atlas Cloud and OpenAI providers via
the OpenAI-compatible /v1/images/generations endpoint. Default
image model is gpt-image-1. Responses return images as URL,
base64, or both depending on the provider.

Update Atlas Cloud blog post and integration guide with image
generation examples. Update ai/README.md with ImageModel docs.

* feat: add agent platform showcase and blog post

Add a complete platform example (Users, Posts, Comments, Mail) that
mirrors micro/blog, demonstrating how existing microservices become
AI-accessible through MCP with zero code changes.

Includes blog post "Your Microservices Are Already an AI Platform"
walking through real agent workflows: signup, content creation,
commenting, tagging, and cross-service messaging.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc

* refactor: rename handler types to drop redundant Service suffix

UserService → Users, PostService → Posts, CommentService → Comments,
MailService → Mail. Matches micro/blog naming convention.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc

* refactor: consolidate top-level directories, reduce framework bloat

Move internal/non-public packages behind internal/ or into their
parent packages where they belong:

- deploy/ → gateway/mcp/deploy/ (Helm charts belong with the gateway)
- profile/ → service/profile/ (preset plugin profiles are a service concern)
- scripts/ → internal/scripts/ (install script is not public API)
- test/ → internal/test/ (test harness is not public API)
- util/ → internal/util/ (internal helpers shouldn't be imported externally)

Also fixes CLAUDE.md merge conflict markers and updates project
structure documentation.

All import paths updated. Build and tests pass.

https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc

* refactor: redesign model package to match framework conventions

Rename model.Database interface to model.Model (consistent with
client.Client, server.Server, store.Store). Remove generics in
favor of interface{}-based API with reflection.

Key changes:
- model.Model interface: Register once, CRUD infers table from type
- DefaultModel + NewModel() + package-level convenience functions
- Schema registered via Register(&User{}), no per-call schema passing
- Memory implementation as default (in model package, like store)
- memory/sqlite/postgres backends updated for new interface
- protoc-gen-micro generates RegisterXModel() instead of generic factory
- All docs, blog, and README updated

https://claude.ai/code/session_01GkduEhcrqcG45rdfYh8dAc

* docs: clarify blog post 7 uses modular monolith, not multi-service

Blog post 7 demonstrated all handlers in a single process but framed
it as microservices without acknowledging the architectural difference.

- Add "A Note on Architecture" section explaining this is a modular
  monolith demo and pointing to micro/blog for multi-service
- Clarify that handlers can be broken out into separate services later
- Fix "service registry" language to match single-process reality
- Restructure "Adding MCP to Existing Services" to distinguish the
  in-process approach from registry-based gateway options
- Update closing to acknowledge both paradigms
- Fix README type names (&CommentService{} -> &Comments{}, etc.)
