# Vincent 0.7.0: The control plane now runs its own development > Source: > Published: 2026-08-30 09:24:37+00:00 I just released **Vincent 0.7.0**, and this release marks an important milestone for the project: **Vincent now builds Vincent.** All development on the project now goes through Vincent workflows — from creating an approved GitHub issue through planning, implementation, verification, human gates, merge, and release preparation. The journey from 0.4.0 to 0.7.0 added quite a bit. Workflows can declare their expected inputs, including: Vincent also gained a workflow-authoring skill designed around a principle I care about quite a lot: **don't use an AI agent when deterministic automation can do the job better.** Commands and native control flow come first. Agents are used where reasoning is actually required. Real automation fails. So Vincent now has mechanisms for continuing rather than throwing work away: `vincent doctor` 0.7.0 significantly expands the CLI. Tasks can now be started idempotently, created from GitHub issues, populated through JSON/stdin, queried through `vincent status` , limited with `max_cost_usd` , and integrated with notifications. Logs, transcripts, approvals, retries, repairs and task answers can all be handled without entering the TUI. The TUI hasn't been neglected either — tasks now open into a dedicated workspace containing steps, attempts, metadata, output and file-grouped diffs. This is the part I'm most excited about. My own development workflow now uses Vincent itself: ``` GitHub issue ↓ planning ↓ implementation ↓ documentation ↓ cross-platform verification ↓ human gates ↓ merge ↓ release audit ``` Claude Code, Codex or Cursor can provide the inference. Vincent owns the durable workflow, state and verification around them. That's the architecture I've been working toward: **a local, inspectable and vendor-independent control plane for coding agents.** Vincent is also **MIT licensed again**. I wrote a deeper overview of everything that changed between 0.4.0 and 0.7.0 here: [https://blog.lezli01.is-a.dev/blog/vincent-0-7-release/](https://blog.lezli01.is-a.dev/blog/vincent-0-7-release/) Feedback and contributions are very welcome.
