Extension, CLI and integrations at 0.8.1. Specs now tell the agent to build what you mean (the instruction style, with "precise" one setting away), and the plugin's MCP server is named recordings.

  • How your agent applies requests (D5 note 2026-09-29, evaluation). New popup setting. Build what I mean (the new default): the spec tells the agent that the elements say where; a request about an existing element changes exactly that, and a request for something new (a behaviour, a component, content, an animation) is built well, in the app's style, touching other files if it needs to. Change only what I point at: the line every spec had so far, "Change only the referenced elements, and only as asked." In a blind review of ten requests on a real app, the same recording scored 192/200 with the new line against 146 with the old one, and 174 for a carefully written prompt that took ten times longer to give. The choice is saved in session.json (instructionStyle), so the clipboard, the MCP server and the CLI word it the same; recordings made before it existed read as Build what I mean. Override it with pointcast process --style intent|precise, the MCP tools' style argument (get_session, wait_for_recording) or /pointcast precise. The spec grows by about 90 tokens.
  • Claude Code and Codex plugin: the MCP server inside the plugin is now called recordings, so tool calls read "plugin pointcast recordings: wait for recording" instead of "pointcast pointcast". After updating the plugin, Claude Code asks once more before the first tool call. To turn it off for a project: /mcp → plugin:pointcast:recordings.
  • /pointcast watch always reports what it changed before listening again.
  • Fixed: a Stop message without a transcription quality (an older service worker next to a newer build) now uses Fast instead of failing the recording (#56).
