Published September 7, it puts OpenAI Codex in the agent picker with a copy-ready ~/.codex/config.toml panel pointing Codex CLI and Desktop at Manifest over the Responses API (GitHub). Two compatibility fixes make it work: Responses-API role: "developer" instruction messages fold into system, and OpenAI-hosted tools like web_search are dropped on the Chat Completions path while native Responses upstreams keep both untouched. Streamed and namespaced client tool calls, including parallel calls and tool-result replay, now survive non-OpenAI providers.

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...
I check Product Hunt maybe once a week and usually regret it. Today's board is worth reading as market structure. The July 30 leaderboard: SKI at 277 upvotes (free voice input for Claude Code and Codex). AI Search Console at 249 (prompt analytics and citation mapping). Memmy A...
Packages the official bundle for Debian/Ubuntu .deb, Fedora and others, including Chat, Work and Codex surfaces. Its existence is the finding: a vendor shipping a desktop agent client for one OS reliably produces a community rebuild for the one it skipped, and Linux developers...
Blaizzy/nativ (1,163 stars, Swift, MIT, macOS 26+) comes from the mlx-vlm author and bundles that server into a SwiftUI app that discovers MLX models already in your HF cache. It exposes OpenAI-compatible chat, Responses, image, audio and model endpoints plus Anthropic Message...
Rust, created May 14, at 2,643 stars (GitHub). Every run produces checkpoints linking a commit to the session that made it, including prompts, tool calls and reasoning. It runs Claude Code, Codex, its own agent and anything from the ACP registry side by side against one codeba...
Six clients. One manifest. Zero vendor lock. Vercel published Agent Plugins 1.0.0 on August 6, an openly licensed spec that bundles Agent Skills and MCP servers behind a single portable manifest. The shape is deliberately boring: a plugin.json requiring only schemaVersion and...
