The Terminal tab
Every coding agent has a Terminal tab: a shell in the agent's own sandbox, with its repository checked out and its GitHub sign-in kept fresh. Start, rename, and end more shells beside it, each marked while it runs, and ⌘F finds in a shell's scrollback. ⌘J, ⌘K's New terminal, the panel's +, and an agent's ⋯ and right-click open one. A shell Luke cannot reach says why, and the sandbox stays up while a terminal is open, stopping five idle minutes after. (#2575, #2592, #2599, #2591, #2639, #2600, #2611, #2622, #2640, #2703, #2814, #2817)
@-mentions
Type @ in the plan or in a coding agent's message box to mention a file, a folder, or one of the plan's sections; in the agent's box, @ also offers the repository's skills and your MCP servers and their tools. A mention is a chip wherever it is drawn, a renamed heading renames its mentions, and Luke never drops one when he corrects the plan. The agent is handed what it cannot read itself, and a server or tool mentioned rides along on the next turn alone. In a File tab, ⌥⌘K mentions the selected lines, pinned to their commit, and a pasted link to an integration's page is a chip that brings its server along.

Who did what
Everyone is drawn one way: a person on a circle with their picture, and Luke, a coding agent, or an automation on a rounded square. A plan's "Edited by" line and its section bylines name whoever wrote it, the time opening the history, and a task's ⋯ menu ends with who created and last edited it. A teammate's call is headed by their face and name, their messages in an agent's tab carry it, and an agent a teammate started, an Inbox answer, and a command run on someone's Mac each say whose it was. A task someone else created wears their face in the sidebar, and its card, crumb, Home, the Factory, and ⌘K name who created it. (#2784, #2794, #2796, #2793, #2779, #2774, #2775, #2773, #2742, #2748, #2702, #2715, #2638, #2853, #2854, #2873, #2875, #2877)
Workspaces, clearer
The workspace heads the sidebar by its tile, its photo or first letter, and who shares it, and the window's title, New task, and a task's crumbs say where you are: "acme › relay" and "5 can edit" over its title. Switching workspaces opens its last task or its home, the Inbox follows, and Search names the others. A personal workspace takes your name. Owners and admins rename a workspace and set its photo, the owner makes members admins and hands the workspace over to leave it, and an invite stays good after whoever sent it leaves. A task whose repository its workspace cannot reach says so over every tab and offers Move to workspace, which says who loses and gains it. (#2718, #2712, #2802, #2719, #2723, #2730, #2808, #2733, #2736, #2741, #2764, #2786, #2788, #2789, #2772, #2749, #2750, #2757, #2820, #2824, #2840, #2845, #2761, #2771, #2803, #2804, #2870)
Tasks
What you work through with Luke is now a task, and the plan is the document inside it: the sidebar, New task, ⌘K, the Tasks menu, and every notice say so. A coding agent's own instructions, and an automation's, are its Prompt. (#2835, #2841, #2844, #2848)
Luke links
Copy link to task, in a task's ⋯ menu or the ⋯ beside its title, copies a link that opens the task in Luke at its section: pressed in the window, from another app through tryluke://, or from a browser through a page whose one press opens Luke and which says what to check when nothing opens. (#2695, #2696, #2697, #2819, #2831)
Experiments: Automations and the Factory
Settings › Experimental turns on features before they are finished. Automations start a coding agent on a schedule, on a GitHub event in the workspace's repositories (choosing whose events, at which moments, and whether drafts and forks count), or from a webhook, for you or the whole workspace, and its page lists its runs, each opening the agent it started. An agent an automation started belongs to no task: it has a page of its own, its questions wait in the Inbox under its automation, and it says what started it. The Factory is a read-only board of every task, from Plan to Build to Ship, beside the Inbox. (#2709, #2699, #2692, #2752, #2754, #2759, #2760, #2776, #2778, #2768, #2770, #2805, #2780, #2799, #2674, #2720, #2713, #2745, #2765, #2767, #2601, #2608)
Improvements
- The sidebar lists tasks in one section, grouped by repository, by creator, or not at all, in the order you choose, and filters them by who created them (#2893, #2899)
- The Changes tab and card name who opened the pull request, its reviewers by where each stands, its commit authors, and its review comments (#2862, #2863, #2865, #2878)
- A Mermaid fence in a plan draws as its diagram, in the read view and under its code in the editor (#2890)
- A workspace holds several GitHub installations, listed in Settings › Workspace and managed on GitHub (#2642, #2644)
- Start a task without a name: it stands as Untitled until you name it (#2888)
- An Inbox item standing alone says where it stands, 2 of 8, and steps through the list by its arrows, J, and K, and a settled one offers the next that needs you where its box stood (#2882, #2885)
- A task counts as read the moment it opens, on whichever of its tabs (#2900)
- A pinned task is pinned for you alone, not for the whole workspace (#2901)
- Luke answers sooner on a call, his replies waiting on nothing earlier, and a call greets you from where the last one left off (#2623)
- A link is one quiet underline, a bare address says its host and path with a ↗, and cards, Inbox rows, and notifications name a link rather than print it (#2800, #2815, #2798, #2797)
- Executor joins Settings › Integrations, every tool offered and its approvals put to you (#2590)
- Settings › Integrations searches integrations and tools on its own, and a tool opens onto a page of its own there and in the MCP popover (#2635, #2700)
- A window too narrow for the sidebar folds it to float over the work, and a narrow Inbox opens on its item, the list a press of ‹ Inbox away (#2679, #2680, #2879)
- An Inbox option the agent recommends wears a Recommended badge (#2881)
- A repository out of reach says why under the composer and offers what mends it (#2573, #2588)
- A sign-in Connect cancelled or refused says so, with Try again (#2595, #2604)
- The repository chip says when a workspace's GitHub was removed or suspended on GitHub, rather than that none is connected (#2834)
- Each column's ⋯ offers the chosen tab's actions, and tab housekeeping stays on the right-click (#2783)
- The sidebar sets an unread task in semibold and a read one in a quieter ink, every row 30px tall (#2801)
- Every window draws its words without the Mac's font smoothing (#2807)
- The sign-in's buttons stand taller and wear "Last used" on the corner of the one it marks (#2782, #2785)
- A tool-call group leads with its fold's chevron, wears the failed mark where a call it holds failed, and a subagent's tab groups its calls as its agent's does (#2892, #2907)
- No button, menu item, or command ends its name with an ellipsis (#2821)
Fixes
- Fixed a sidebar group not listing its tasks newest updated first (#2818)
- Fixed Settings saying Connected for a GitHub installation that GitHub removed or suspended (#2828, #2829)
- Fixed an agent's terminals failing to list in a busy account (#2809)
- Fixed "Changed since you last looked" missing a teammate's saves (#2689)
- Fixed Home missing a teammate's agent's open items (#2755)
- Fixed the Call tab not naming a teammate's call (#2694)
- Fixed Choose a model's menu hanging away from its button and showing a stale catalog (#2763)
- Fixed an open popover jumping as its button grew or shrank (#2629)
- Fixed a call's card floating over a version history's versions (#2816)
- Fixed Contact us opening inside the account menu rather than beside it (#2649)
- Fixed Settings › Profile and Settings › Workspace drawing you unlike the rest of the window, and offering Remove on your own row (#2810, #2813)
- Fixed a transparent workspace photo showing its letter tile behind it (#2769)
- Fixed a picture on its own line opening in the plan editor as something you could not edit (#2886)
- Fixed a menu's second submenu item not opening its submenu on hover (#2917)
- Fixed Luke's face moving on the sign-in screen (#2891)
- Fixed an agent's to-do list sitting off its rows' text, its item in progress now wearing the working mark (#2874)
- Fixed an inline chip sitting off its line's baseline, a section's byline sitting off its ⋯, and a page's empty state sitting low (#2856, #2658, #2832)
Misc
- Updated the renderer to load Settings, analytics, and the markdown parser as chunks of their own, its main bundle 18% smaller (#2738, #2743)
- Updated the code's layout so application logic lives in
packages/, under one@luke/*scope (#2648, #2652, #2654, #2659, #2728) - Added screenshots to 0.13.0 from its own build (#2645)
