AIWG - July 2026 Report
AIWG became easier to move, search, and run across coding tools, with stronger release checks, portable skills, session import, and Cockpit controls.
Engineering notes, release context, and practical guidance for teams using AIWG.
AIWG became easier to move, search, and run across coding tools, with stronger release checks, portable skills, session import, and Cockpit controls.
Discovery-first agent tooling turns a giant prompt menu into a debuggable routing layer: ask by intent, inspect the match, then run the right capability.
A practical test for whether an agent workflow is portable: can the project carry the capability, can another operator discover it, and can a handoff survive without private prompt memory?
A new dashboard to watch and steer your AI agents, search that finds the right tool from plain words, support for more AI tools, and leaner startup context that keeps agents reliable.
June shipped provider #11, declarative Flows, and cross-stack Missions. Next: AIWG Cockpit — a local desktop control plane that sits on top of every agentic stack you run, never replacing one. The groundwork is in; here's the design.
AIWG 2026.6.0 adds an 11th AI coding tool, makes it much easier to get AI assistants working together, and turns a pile of research papers into something you can actually search. Here's a plain-language tour.
The biggest month yet: a major stable release, signed and verifiable packages, a guided setup wizard, per-project customization without forking, and steady updates all month.
AIWG doesn't ship one static system prompt. It assembles a per-session prompt and command set from your workspace state across ten AI tools, then regenerates it cleanly as your setup changes. Here's the mechanism — and how to hook your own agent in.
A retrospective on the quiet stretch since March: what the 2026.5.x line actually means — project-local artifacts, the kernel pivot, discover-first, the Hermes audit — and the work behind it.
A month of public test builds: the 'Autonomous Systems' release line ran on npm's next channel all month, bringing a web dashboard, pick-your-own storage, and agents that follow your git rules.
A heavy shipping month: skills became the core building block, AIWG learned two new tools (OpenClaw and Hermes), a searchable project index arrived, and an always-on daemon took its first steps.
AIWG's biggest month yet: every supported AI tool now gets the full toolkit, releases publish to npm on their own, and three new frameworks arrived — research, media curation, and digital forensics.
AIWG's first full month as a public npm package: an agent loop that retries until the job is done, issue tracking from your chat, steering flags on every command, and setup fixes across all eight supported tools.
Launch month: AIWG went public on npm, added four more AI coding tools, and gained skills, artifact-building agents, and its own docs site.
A build month before launch: AIWG learned to run on Factory AI, let you pick your own model, gained a new marketing framework, and grew a real codebase with tests.
A big build month: AIWG took shape as guided workflows, specialized agents, and templates for planning, building, testing, and shipping software with AI. Nothing shipped to users yet.
AIWG grew from a writing guide into a framework, with a set of focused AI helpers, ready-to-use commands, and a bigger list of robotic phrasings to avoid.
The very first build of AIWG — then called the AI Writing Guide — a set of tips that help AI write like a real person instead of a robot.
