Workspace Storage Improvements, AI Response Metadata, and Slash Commands

Workspaces will now be created at ~/conductor/workspaces/ instead of .conductor. This means no more need to add .conductor to gitignore or exclude it from your build tools, and will help prevent the agents from getting confused about where to edit files.

(This change will apply for any new repo you add to Conductor going forward. Nothing will change for existing repos.)

You'll now see metadata below each AI response, including how long it took, a button to copy the response as markdown, and a list of changed files.

Claude Code's default slash commands now work in Conductor! Commands installed via Plugins work as well. MCP server statuses will also now appear before sending a message.

Improvements

• Added a button to copy file contents when viewing files and diffs
• We've improved fuzzy search for slash commands
• Improved switch visibility in dark mode
• Improved rendering of Claude Code Skills in the chat

Fixes

• Only show ⌘N shortcut tooltip on the selected repository
• Fixed the archive button incorrectly having a loading state when other workspaces were archiving
• The target branch is now explicitly mentioned in the AI's instructions for creating PRs
• Fixed port recognition when URLs wrapped across lines in the terminal
• Fixed arrows opening in the wrong direction when expanding collapsed changes

Misc

• Increased default toast duration from 5 → 10 seconds
• Removed the "Open In" button from the new workspace screen
• Converted settings from a dialog to a proper page
• Changed shortcut to close settings page from "Esc" to "Cmd + Esc"

Improved Codex, Quick Start

We've improved Codex in Conductor: bash command render live, web search is enabled, and MCPs appear in the UI.

We've also added an option to create repositories from within Conductor. Quick start creates a new repo and pushes it to GitHub.

We've also made the settings page fullscreen, and made the tabs clearer and easier to navigate.

And we've made fuzzy search more flexible:

Improvements

• New workspaces now show the file tree by default. They will automatically switch to show changed files once files are modified.
• Added the workspace branch name to macOS notifications
• Added previews for text attachments
• Added a toggle to show session cost in the top bar when using an API key
• Added back the scroll to bottom button
• Added undo toast when archiving workspaces
• Detect default branch automatically for Quick Start repos
• Open in XCode now uses xed
• Add Sourcetree to apps list
• Various Codex chat UI improvements
  • Bash commands render as soon as they start running
  • Remove unnecessary prefixes in bash commands
  • Failing bash commands no longer show as empty errors
  • Show MCP tool calls in the chat
  • Enabled web search

• Fixed a bug where the incorrect workspace would occasionally be archived
• Fixed agent icon being incorrect in the chat tab history popover
• Invalid slash commands now show an error
• Fixed the "Create workspace from" button not working on the home page
• Fixed Claude Code downloads not working for some users
• Fix PR search to use GitHub search API

Repo Details

We've revamped the repo details view. You can now browse and restore archived workspaces from there.

Hover over a repo name and click the settings icon to get started.

We removed the old archived workspaces view.

Improvements

• Fix notification sounds not playing when the app isn't focused
• Fix long user messages not wrapping in the chat
• Fix overflows in the settings dialog

Checkpointing Fixes

We've fixed a bug where reverting a chat would result in an error code 1. This was due to an undocumented breaking change in the Anthropic Agent SDK.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where new workspaces would occasionally start from an old git commit
• Fixed the app crashing when navigating to the Linear tab while not authenticated
• Fixed diffs for renamed files not showing correctly

Opus 4.5 Bug Fixes

Opus is now the default model in Conductor.

We've also fixed a bug where the plans Claude was generating weren't populating in the UI.

We've implemented a workaround, but the problem is a bug in the Claude Agent SDK. Please upvote this issue for Anthropic to make a proper fix!

Opus 4.5 and Better Scrolling

Opus 4.5 is now available in Conductor!
