Omnideck weekly update: July 6-12, 2026

This was a big week. 25 PRs merged across four repos: omnideck, cli, site, and homebrew-tap. Three repos (omnideck, site, cli) all shipped user-facing improvements this week, and a fourth (homebrew-tap) kept distribution current. Conversation management and chat UX got the most attention, browser tools got more resilient rather than more feature-rich, and the housekeeping work (refactors, docs, license) happened alongside the features instead of piling up as debt.

For a detailed list, checkout the #project-updates channel on Slack.

We are currently looking at some more educational content and a focus on a backlog of smaller improvements and refeinements. There are a few UX changes coming, and we are discussing the new "custom apps" feature. Join us on Slack to tell us what you think.

Agent profiles are portable now

You can export and import agent profiles and skills as packs (#137). This is the foundation for sharing agent configs between people or environments instead of rebuilding them by hand every time. A follow-up fix made sure that when a pack is exported with skills off, the imported agent has no skills (#150). No silent leakage of capability you didn't intend to share.

Inline artifact editing

We also turned the preview source view into a proper editable, saveable code editor (#138), so you're not stuck looking at read-only output when you want to tweak something quickly. Go ahead and change it directly instead of asking the agent to do so.

Chat history finally has structure

This was the week conversation management grew up. Archiving landed (#161), then folder organization (#164), then a round of polish on top: header cleanup, unpin-on-move behavior, archived counts, and flat search across folders (#168). We also split the ConversationsPanel into focused modules as part of that polish pass (#169), which should make this area easier to extend going forward.

CLI dashboard upgrade

The CLI got a TUI dashboard upgrade, better logging, and some config changes (#11). More visibility into what's happening under the hood without leaving the terminal.

Chat got real multi-file support

Multiple file attachments in chat are in (#139), along with a unified chip UI for those attachments and a cleaner composer experience overall (#145).

Steady UI cleanup

A few smaller refactors kept the codebase honest: formatAgentName moved into utils/agentUtils.js (#160), a new formatTokens utility landed with test coverage (#162), and token size formatting now drops the decimal places (#163). Not flashy, but this is the kind of housekeeping that keeps the bigger features easy to build on.

Browser tools got smarter and more resilient

The browsing agent picked up three real upgrades. read_page now returns the whole page instead of forcing you to guess at chunking, with navigation by chunk and query layered on top (#148). The DOM walk in browse_page stopped pruning subtrees just because they're off-viewport (#149), so the agent can see content that isn't currently on screen. We also added a curl_cffi fetch fallback for sites that throw up anti-bot interstitials (#132). The agent doesn't just stall out when a site gets defensive.

Site work picked up too

The Omnideck site now supports blog hero images (#47) and tags (#48). Larry's first blog post went up (#49), along with fixes to make og:image work for social previews (#50, #52, #53) and an update to the origin story post (#51). If you've shared an Omnideck link on X or LinkedIn recently, this is why the preview image finally looks right.

Docs and distribution

The README and license got updated to Apache 2 (#144), making the open-source terms official. The Homebrew tap moved up to v0.8.0 (#4), so anyone installing via Homebrew gets the latest build.
