Released 01:58 UTC on September 1, demoting update_plan to opt-in, so you need tools.update_plan.enabled = true in config to get planning back (GitHub). It also adds output_token_limit per individual MCP tool with truncation that survives session resume, allows :, @, / and . in MCP server names for package-style naming, and lets app-server clients set thread/shellCommand timeouts past an hour. Cloud task requests now reject untrusted backend URLs and refuse redirects to protect saved credentials, and reviewed terminal input rejects NUL bytes.

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...
Language packs like samber/cc-skills-golang, 1,600-plus cross-tool libraries, harnesses like DeerFlow with built-in skills, even Google's Workspace CLI bundling agent skills. The unit of reuse shifted from prompts and MCP tools to portable markdown skills that travel across Cl...
A Chinese lab shipped a runtime that manages two American coding agents as subagents, and it went from repo creation to 145,439 stars in four days. deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness published dsh-v0.1.0-rc.7 at 12:01 UTC today, its first tagged release since the repo appeared on Au...
The git-worktree fan-out tool for running Claude Code, Codex and Gemini in parallel shipped v3.42.0 with a breaking safety change: a plugin or wire client that asked wmux to drive a browser page without declaring its workspace used to get whichever page registered first, possi...
EchoVault solves the "agent amnesia" problem — coding agents forgetting everything between sessions. It runs as an MCP server giving agents three tools: memory_context (load prior decisions), memory_search (find specific memories), and memory_save (persist learnings). Storage...
A GitHub repo cataloging Claude Code tips doesn't normally warrant a top story. But shanraisshan/claude-code-best-practice at 53.4K stars isn't a tips list anymore. It's the de facto reference for how an entire generation of developers is learning to work with AI coding agents...
