+# Release Notes: v0.8.0
+
+**Release Date:** 2026-01-25
+
+## Highlights
+
+This release simplifies the multi-agent-spec workflow with new `generate agents` and `generate all` commands, adds markdown command file support with YAML frontmatter, and introduces CLI dependency checking with human-in-the-loop prompts.
+
+## New Features
+
+### Simplified Agent Generation
+
+The new `generate agents` command provides a streamlined workflow for generating platform-specific agents from multi-agent-spec definitions:
+
+```bash
+# Generate agents for a specific deployment target
+assistantkit generate agents --spec=./specs --target=local --output=./plugins
+
+# The command reads specs/deployments/{target}.json for target configuration
+```
+
+### Combined Generation Command
+
+The `generate all` command combines plugins and agents generation in a single operation:
+
+```bash
+# Generate both plugins and agents
+assistantkit generate all --spec=./spec --output=./plugins --platforms=claude,kiro
+```
+
+### Markdown Command Files
+
+Commands can now be defined in markdown with YAML frontmatter, in addition to JSON:
+
+```markdown
+---
+name: review-code
+description: Reviews code for issues and improvements
+allowed_tools:
+  - Read
+  - Grep
+  - Glob
+---
+
+# Code Review Command
+
+When reviewing code, follow these guidelines...
+```
+
+The system auto-detects the file format based on extension (`.md` vs `.json`).
+
+### CLI Dependency Checking
+
+The new `requirements` package provides human-in-the-loop dependency checking for CLI tools:
+
+```go
+import "github.com/agentplexus/assistantkit/requirements"
+
+// Check requirements with interactive prompts
+result := requirements.EnsureRequirements(
+    []string{"go", "node", "docker"},
+    requirements.NewCLIPrompter(),
+)
+
+if !result.AllSatisfied() {
+    fmt.Println(requirements.FormatMissingError(result))
+}
+```
+
+Features:
+
+- Automatic detection of installed tools
+- Platform-aware install method suggestions
+- Interactive prompts for missing tool installation
+- Registry of common development tools with install commands
+
+## Security Improvements
+
+- File write operations now use `0600` permissions instead of `0644` for better security
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `multi-agent-spec/sdk/go` v0.4.0 -> v0.5.0
+
