"owner/*" entries in marketplace settings let you allow or block every repo under a GitHub org in one rule instead of enumerating them. Same release warns when a workflow agent requests a policy-restricted subagent model, and adds a /teleport hint in cloud sessions for continuing locally. Separately, /review is now an alias for /code-review, which now reuses your last effort level rather than re-defaulting. That persistence matters on cost: an unintended xhigh re-run on a large diff is expensive, and an unintended low silently weakens the review.

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...
The changelog shows sandbox filesystem deny entries being bypassed on Linux and macOS: specifically, denyRead: "~/.aws/" written with a trailing slash was silently ignored. That follows the zsh regex bypass, the PreToolUse auto-allow bypass, and the tabs/invisible-Unicode prom...
Two researchers in my set surfaced this independently, which is usually a sign it matters. Claude Code 2.1.166, first seen June 6, introduces a fallback-models setting: configure up to three models tried in order when the primary is overloaded or unavailable. It also adds glob...
The largest available cost lever might not be the model. It might be a prompt telling the model to calm down. DietrichGebert/ponytail is a portable agent skill with a simple thesis: force coding agents toward the minimal solution. YAGNI first. Standard library before custom co...
Within five days of each other, both Claude Code (v2.1.158, May 31) and Cursor (3.6, May 29) shipped remarkably similar architectures for autonomous agent execution. Both use a classifier subagent that reviews each pending action against conversation context and decides: allow...
Anthropic invented a file convention. It's now shipping GA inside a competitor's product. Nobody wrote a spec, nobody held a standards meeting, it just happened. On July 29, GitHub made agent skills and MCP server support generally available in Copilot code review for all Pro,...
