# ai blueprint adds automatic try it now

links: site | repo | project page

AI Blueprint 1.13.0 is out. The main addition is simple: when an agent finishes something I can actually test, it should give me a small, concrete way to try it.

Passing tests and seeing the result myself are different things. I don’t want every handoff to end with a test count and leave me figuring out what to open, run, or look for. I also don’t want made-up manual checks for a documentation change that has nothing useful to demonstrate.

The new tryGuide: "when-testable" setting handles that distinction. It’s the recommended default for new projects. A safe, observable change gets a short “Try it now” section. That might be a browser interaction, but it can also be a CLI command, API request, library call, or generated file to inspect. Invisible internal changes don’t need an invented demonstration.

I extended the existing /check guide behavior instead of adding another overlapping skill. The previous manual, always, and when-user-facing settings are still supported.

The important boundary is acceptance. Giving me instructions doesn’t mean I followed them, and the agent can’t mark the feature accepted just because it wrote a convincing checklist. Verify and /check still cover agent verification. The demonstration is for me.

The packed release passed a live-agent evaluation with all 26 assertions, alongside the installer and adapter checks. Version 1.13.0 is published on npm and GitHub, and the matching public docs are live.
