agnostic-ai v0.89.0: review context and edit settings in your browser

Agnostic-ai released version 0.89.0, adding browser-based review of startup context and team-or-personal edit settings for model, reasoning effort, and global session retention, with the update installed via `npm install -g agnostic-ai@0.89.0`. The release changes the web API so edit and built-in preview requests must send `scope` as `team` or `local`, `/api/health` no longer returns `revision`, and global sync writes ownership state version 9 that older releases cannot read. The project reports that `compare` now reads sync state once, cutting a 500-spec comparison from several minutes to about a second, and that Qwen Code file-matched rules are written to `.qwen/rules/<name>.md` with native `paths:`.

Upgrading from v0.88.0 #

Stop running agnostic-ai watch processes before changing the installation or project config.

Update web API clients before upgrading. Edit and built-in preview requests must send scope as team or local. /api/health no longer returns revision. See the API reference for the request and response fields.

Plan before downgrading global sync. Global sync writes ownership state version 9. Older releases cannot read that state. Keep a copy of your global configuration and state if you need to return to an older release; do not delete the state to bypass the check.

Install through your existing package manager. For a global npm installation:

npm install -g agnostic-ai@0.89.0

After installing, agnostic-ai upgrade --requires updates requires and the editor schema URL, then syncs. It replaces minimum or range requirements and local overrides too. To preserve a deliberate minimum or range, keep that requirement and update the schema URL to v0.89.0 yourself. See upgrade options.

Run agnostic-ai sync, review the generated diff, and run agnostic-ai sync --check before restarting watch. The caveman built-in now ships only SKILL.md. Sync removes generated extras and keeps edited ones; review the kept files, then delete them, run agnostic-ai doctor --fix, or list them in sync.unmanaged.

What agnostic-ai changed #

Review startup context

In agnostic-ai view, Context size ranks startup, file-scoped, and on-demand text for a selected target. It finds repeated startup passages and links to their sources. Copy a review prompt to ask a coding agent to compare them before changing a spec. The report counts words and bytes, not model tokens. You can also run:

agnostic-ai explain --context --target claude

See context contributions for what the report includes.

Edit settings for your team or yourself

The browser can edit model, reasoning effort, and global session retention. Select Team or Just me, see the value each configured tool receives, and preview project model or effort changes before applying them. Undo restores the previous files while the server session remains open. Search spans configuration sections, and findings can be rechecked or opened in an editor. See editing scope.

Find changes and compare tools faster

sync -v highlights changed targets and new coverage notes; sync -vv lists every target and repeated note. Parallel sync preserves shared Copilot commands. Global sync respects target filters, protects changed symlink targets, and saves removed files when --backup is set. compare now reads sync state once, reducing a 500-spec comparison from several minutes to about a second in the project's measurements.

The terra alias resolves to gpt-6.1-terra. See the full release notes for the remaining fixes and changes.

What changed in the targets #

  • Qwen Code supports file-matched rules. Itsrules documentation , checked October 27, describes a rule after a matching file is read or edited. agnostic-ai now writes portable rules withglobs to.qwen/rules/<name>.md with nativepaths: , and imports those paths back. This maps an existing Qwen feature; see theQwen guide for scope and trust limits.
