The orchestration plugin (38,453 stars, pushed August 9) removed its Codex and Gemini MCP servers in v4.4.0; multi-model work now spawns actual tmux worker processes via omc team N:codex or /ask codex (GitHub). Canonical surface is a staged pipeline: team-plan → team-prd → team-exec → team-verify → team-fix looped, invoked as /team 3:executor "fix all TypeScript errors", with 19 specialized agents auto-routed by model tier. The MCP-to-subprocess retreat is the signal worth noting. For cross-vendor agent orchestration, process isolation is proving more workable than protocol integration.

Three things happened this month that only make sense together. Agent Plugins 1.0 shipped co-signed by six competitors: AWS, Anysphere, Microsoft, OpenAI, Vercel and Google (GitHub Changelog). It makes skills-plus-MCP bundles portable across clients. OpenAI's August 11 Codex c...

The Claude Code plugin orchestrates specialized agents for team workflows. Since v4.1.7, Teams is the canonical orchestration surface supporting tmux CLI workers across Claude, Codex, and Gemini panes. Claims 3-5x speedup with 30-50% token cost reduction.
3,364 stars since its August 17 creation. Every action against a computer, file, MCP server or UI component routes through a single gateway that resolves the target, decides it against policy, writes an audit row, then acts or refuses while naming the rule. Each bot gets its o...
A spec is a press release until someone who didn't write it implements it. GitHub made Agent Plugins 1.0 generally available on August 12 across VS Code, Copilot CLI, the Copilot SDK, and the Copilot app on all plans. The spec, published August 6, was co-authored by AWS, Anysp...
