Release notes, tutorials, and updates from the DorkOS team.
The right panel now opens to Pulse, a quick read on what needs you, and the sidebar refocuses on your agents.
Install a whole working setup in one step, meet each new agent as it comes to life, and hand your docs to any AI tool in the format it reads.
Watch messages reach your agents in real time on the topology map, and find every way to install DorkOS on one page
Organize your agents into sidebar groups that follow you across devices, see which sessions are running low on context room, and get token protection for the local tools that can change your machine
Try DorkOS in one command with npx, start a server from a ready-made Compose file, and run a safer Docker image that works as a regular user, checks its own health, and shuts down cleanly
Download DorkOS for Windows (early alpha) as well as Mac, run all analytics through DorkOS's own site with full controls, send your traces to any observability tool, and send feedback right from the app
The Mac desktop app works and is downloadable, you can pop a live widget out into a floating window, review your agent's edits block by block, and let your agent see its own preview to fix its own mistakes
A same-day fix so widget clicks and form submits never lose their data
Agents can now show their work as interactive widgets, the right panel becomes a real workbench, and Codex and OpenCode join Claude Code in one cockpit
Per-turn context now travels alongside your message instead of inside it, the chat status strip gains live hook and compaction feedback, and a Core Extensions tier lands — plus a smarter command palette and in-chat local-command output.
A maintenance release — the Claude Agent SDK moves to 0.3.177 (restoring background-agent and MCP task state on session resume), the Obsidian model catalog now derives from the SDK like every other surface, plus four targeted fixes.
Runtime-agnostic session streaming with durable reconnection, permission prompts that survive session switches, and a model-gated auto permission mode — plus the SDK 0.3.168 native-binary upgrade.
Memory recall transparency and per-session runtime ownership — see which memory files shaped each reply, gate capabilities per session, and upgrade SDK runtimes with a dedicated workflow.
Plugin installation polish and chat input reliability — responsive dialogs, personality picker enhancements, and critical fixes for agent discovery and server stability.
Agent personality and sidebar polish with verbosity-based traits, lifecycle actions, and scoped marketplace installs
Agent Hub reimagined with immersive hero, Cosmic Nebula visualization, and smooth panel animations
Agent creation polish and chat input reliability improvements
Mesh discovery and agent creation — pre-scan landing states, 7 new AI agent strategies, an instant-advance creation wizard, and a unified /agents page.
Agent sidebar redesign with stable ordering, pinning, context menus, and activity badges
Release tooling and configuration robustness — schema validation gates, migration automation, and marketplace stability converge to prevent upgrade breakage.
Emergency patch — unblocks `npm install -g dorkos` and restores the Docker image publish pipeline after the v0.34.0 release shipped broken.
The marketplace lands — install pipeline, in-app Marketplace, public web catalog, strict Claude Code superset, and external MCP agent access all ship together.
Intelligent channel binding and dependency awareness — adapters become channels, runtime requirements surface during onboarding, and system configuration becomes discoverable.
Chat refinement and architectural cleanup — interrupt queries, see activity at a glance, and benefit from a cleaner codebase.
Refining agent UX through redesigns and standards adoption — clearer palettes, transparent context usage, and portable skill definitions bring polish and portability to the operator platform.
Discovery and documentation refinement — unified scan actions, onboarding polish, and a full contributing guide refresh.
Agent fleet management and UI refinement — DataTable-powered agent lists, command palette agent settings, and a streamlined dashboard.
Tasks redesign, DorkBot system agent, and the extensibility platform matures with manifest-driven settings, extension hooks, and MCP elicitation.
Canvas as a first-class surface — persistent, toggleable, and mobile-ready
Network resilience and operator onboarding — faster SSE streams with custom headers and a welcoming first-time experience.
Extensibility platform and composable filtering — agents can now build and install extensions, and every list surface gets URL-synced, filterable, sortable data views.
Desktop app, tunnel security, and resilience — native macOS distribution, passcode-gated remote access, and SSE auto-reconnect harden the operator experience.
Task visibility and execution awareness — progress bars, dependencies, and animated background indicators bring your agent fleet to life.
TodoWrite task system, speculative sessions, and brand icon refresh
Agent creation pipeline, fleet management surface, and A2A gateway
Adapter ecosystem expansion with Chat SDK Telegram integration, A2A gateway specification, and agent personality conventions.
