⚡ 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.

⚠️ 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-repairexplicitly accepts a legacyPRESENTATION_AUDIT.mdproduced 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-
HOMEinstall 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-
namerule held for both skills.
