Rapid shipping from v2.1.63 to v2.1.68 this week: /simplify spawns three parallel review agents (Code Reuse, Code Quality, Efficiency) that auto-apply fixes before merge. /batch plans migrations interactively then executes in parallel across git worktrees. Auto-memory automatically saves useful context across sessions. HTTP hooks replace shell-only hooks for remote integrations. Memory leak fixes for unbounded growth in git root detection and JSON parsing caches during long sessions. MCP OAuth token refresh race conditions fixed. (GitHub CHANGELOG)

Cursor 3 launched on April 2. Not an update. A full rebuild. The editor is now secondary to what they're calling an agent orchestration workspace. You can run unlimited parallel agents, locally or in the cloud, launch them from your phone or Slack or Linear, and manage them in...
Three capabilities that change daily workflows: /simplify is a parallel-agent code quality gate you run before every PR (Boris Cherny uses it daily). /batch is an interactive code migration planner that executes with dozens of parallel agents in isolated git worktrees — usage:...
If you've written Claude Code skills with context: fork in the frontmatter, go check them right now. As of the July 22 release, /code-review runs as a background subagent, and any skill declaring context: fork runs in the background by default (release notes). The opt-out is b...
Two things in one release, and only one of them is in the security section. CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL used to override the model for every subagent. In 2.1.251 it sets the default instead. An agent definition's model: frontmatter now wins, and so does an explicit per-spawn mo...
1. Use claude agents --json to build session dashboards. Claude Code v2.1.145 outputs all live agent sessions as structured JSON with status, model, elapsed time, and parent relationships. Pipe it into a tmux status bar widget or session picker script for switching between bac...
v2.1.218 took dangerous-rm, background-&, and suspicious-Windows-path checks out of permission dialogs, and stopped prompting in plan mode for Bash the static analyzer can't prove read-only. /deep-research also now starts only when you invoke it. Fewer interrupts, but a model...
