⚡ GitAlive — the repo-page journey gets a name worthy of it

Two days ago we shipped a feature with a forgettable name. "Presentation" told you nothing about what the tool does — it could have meant slides. Users asked, fairly: "make what presentable?"

So while the install base is still small enough to make a rename cheap, the pair gets its real name — GitAlive ⚡ — because that's what your repo page actually is: your project's proof of life. The README, the badges, the license, the templates — they're the evidence a visitor checks to decide whether a project is alive and worth their time. Lazarus raises the codebase; GitAlive makes the page prove it.

Was (v0.6–v0.7) Now
/lazarus:presentation /lazarus:gitalive — the audit (read-only, zero shell)
/lazarus:presentation-repair /lazarus:gitalive-repair — the fixes (ratified, one finding at a time)
PRESENTATION_AUDIT.md / PRESENTATION_CHANGES.md GITALIVE_AUDIT.md / GITALIVE_CHANGES.md
.lazarus/presentation-waivers.yml .lazarus/gitalive-waivers.yml

⚠️ Breaking / migration

  • The old command names no longer exist after /plugin update lazarus@cognitivecode + /reload-plugins. Type /lazarus:gitalive (or just say "polish my README" — plain English still routes you).
  • Your old audit still works: gitalive-repair explicitly accepts a legacy PRESENTATION_AUDIT.md produced by v0.6/v0.7, so nothing you generated is stranded.

🖼️ New: the before/after, with receipts

The README has a new spotlight section — "GitAlive — your repo's proof of life" — featuring a before/after picture of the feature in action. It isn't a mock-up: it's this repo, as GitAlive's first run found it (project name trapped in a PNG, a CI pipeline wearing no badge, a 300-line README with no table of contents, contributor docs one plugin behind) and as it stands after the fixes (real H1, live badge, ToC — written by gitalive-repair itself — and a clean re-audit).

✅ Verified

  • Both renamed skills register with all support files in an isolated-HOME install at the tagged commit (6 core skills, 8 marketplace-wide); claude plugin validate ✔; CI green.
  • Rename swept with a guarded replace + manual review: zero remaining skill-name uses of "presentation" (the plain-English word survives only where it means the domain).
  • Directory-name == frontmatter-name rule held for both skills.
