agnostic-ai v0.66.0: one effort setting for Claude, Copilot, Codex, and Factory

Agnostic-ai released version 0.66.0, adding a settings spec `effort` key that sets the default reasoning effort for Claude Code, Copilot, Codex, and Factory under each tool's own key (#1069, #1089). The release also makes `sync --global` write native agents for 18 targets without overwriting hand-edited files unless `--backup` is passed (#1033, #1082), and changes `import all` to keep every tool's settings in its own `settings/<target>.yaml` rather than only the last tool's (#1096). Users who sync `continue`, imported settings from several tools, or use `sync --global` with a root variable such as `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` are told to run `agnostic-ai sync`, re-run `agnostic-ai import all`, or delete files left under the old root, respectively.

What to do #

  1. If you sync continue , runagnostic-ai sync and commit the move of skills to.continue/skills/<name>/ (one sync and one commit).
  2. If you imported settings from several tools, run agnostic-ai import all again and delete the old.agnostic-ai/settings/imported.yaml (one file per project).
  3. If you use sync --global with a root variable such asCLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR , delete the files an earlier sync left under the old root (one directory per tool).

Nothing else needs action.

What changed #

  • A settings spec's effort sets the default reasoning effort for Claude Code, Copilot, Codex, and Factory, each under its own key (#1069, #1089).
  • sync --global writes native agents for 18 targets and stops before overwriting a file you edited by hand;--backup keeps a copy (#1033, #1082).
  • import all keeps every tool's settings in its ownsettings/<target>.yaml instead of only the last tool's (#1096).

Everything else is in the GitHub release notes.

Upstream CLI and model news #

  • VS Code (2026-09-16): the MCP page now lists a workspace-root.mcp.json with a top-levelmcpServers object as a standard location, and trusted workspaces start its servers without a separate prompt. Theclaude target writes that file, so VS Code loads its servers too. State: supported.MCP servers
  • Cursor (docs checked 2026-09-23): subagents also load from.claude/agents/ and.codex/agents/ , and.cursor/ wins a name clash, so a repository syncingclaude andcursor has each agent in two places. State: supported.Subagents
