Story

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: /batch migrate src/ from Solid to React. HTTP hooks replace shell command hooks with JSON-in/JSON-out external integrations. Plus five memory leak fixes making long sessions materially more stable. What to do: Update to v2.1.63 and start using /simplify before PRs. Try /batch for any repetitive cross-file changes. (GitHub, Boris Cherny on X)
