What's new

First-run onboarding

  • A guided first launch. Husk now opens with a three-step setup: a welcome screen, a step that detects the AI CLIs on your machine and lets you pick the one to launch by default (installing any that are missing right there), and a preferences step for theme, accent color, and the sidebar default. You can replay the whole tour any time from Preferences under Appearance.

Chat and status

  • One statusline, not two. The agent's own inline statusline is now silenced inside Husk, so the right-side STATUS panel is the single place your session, usage, and learning figures live. Your other agent settings are left untouched.
  • The STATUS panel shows everything. The header sits higher so every section (location, build, tools, usage, memory, learning) stays visible without scrolling.
  • A framed chat surface. The terminal is now a rounded panel with a clear focus state, so it reads as a crafted workspace rather than a raw edge.
  • Your draft survives navigation. Text you have typed but not sent is kept when you switch to another page (Skills, MCP, Files) and come back, instead of being cleared.

MCP

  • Rename a server in place. You can now rename an MCP server from the editor for both the Claude and Copilot configurations, with a check that the new name does not collide with an existing one.

Fixes

  • The active model stays visible. The STATUS panel no longer goes blank for sessions that have not yet bound a transcript; it falls back to the latest known session so the model row stays populated.
  • Workflow steps run in your working directory. Multi-step workflows now run each agent in your working directory instead of the app's install location, so codex steps on macOS no longer fail with a directory trust error.
