Released August 26, it adds MCP 2026 core protocol support and an MCP Apps host that renders inline server-supplied applications inside daemon-backed WebShell sessions (GitHub). MCP Apps is the official extension standardizing server-rendered UIs (dashboards, forms, visualizations) delivered from server to host, formalized in the 2026-07-28 specification. This is one of the first shipping coding-agent CLIs to host those UIs rather than only consume tools. The same release adds Concise, Proactive, Explanatory and Learning output styles, a find-simplifications sweep skill that hunts dead code and produces evidence-backed proposals for maintainer review rather than applying them, and Kimi as a built-in provider with both international and China endpoints.

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...
v0.10.0 (~84.8k stars, Apache-2.0) ships no agent of its own and drives whichever CLI you already have, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, OpenClaw, Gemini, Kimi, Qwen, Cline, plus BYOK OpenAI-compatible endpoints, via od mcp install <agent>. It produces single-page HTML pro...
Anthropic added it in 2.1.237 on August 20, selectable under Output style in /config or settings.json. The r/ClaudeAI thread asking whether it reduces consumption drew 219 upvotes and a clear consensus of no: cost sits in input context, file reads, and reasoning traces, not us...
5.8k stars, Rust, macOS, ~40 MB versus ~67 MB upstream, keeping full Lua customization. Command-failure recovery with suggested fixes applied via Cmd + Shift + E, natural-language-to-command via # <description>, preconfigured integration for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and...
AionUi (free, local, 24/7 across 20+ CLIs), HolyClaude (Claude Code plus web UI, 8 AI CLIs, headless browser, 50+ tools), and DeepChat all wrap multiple vendor CLIs behind one local interface. (AionUi) The pattern: developers don't want to pick one agent, they want a neutral c...
The tool puts provider keys, model selection, and per-tool config for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI in one desktop app instead of scattered dotfiles. It cuts the risk of a stale or leaked key lingering in one CLI's config and makes A/B-ing the same task across a...
