development
Sync model aliases from the curated Firebase database. Fetches default model assignments, short aliases, team compositions, and known model metadata from the claudish API. Run this to get fresh model recommendations.
tools
Release one or more Magus plugins to the distribution repos (magus, magus-alpha, magus-marketing). Handles version inference from git history, marketplace.json updates, tagging, and force-push to lean dist repos. Use whenever the user says "release kanban", "release the dev plugin", "cut a new version of gtd", "bump kanban to 1.7", or hands you a batch like "release kanban and gtd". Also use for multi-plugin releases and for checking what a release would contain before committing.
