agent-shell 0.55 updates

# agent-shell 0.55 updates Source: [https://xenodium.com/agent-shell-0-55-updates](https://xenodium.com/agent-shell-0-55-updates) June 11, 2026It's been a little while since my[last agent\-shell update](https://xenodium.com/agent-shell-0-47-1-updates), so let's go through the latest highlights as of v0\.55\. ## What's`agent\-shell`? [agent\-shell](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell)is a native[Emacs](https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/)mode to interact with AI agents powered by ACP \([Agent Client Protocol](https://agentclientprotocol.com/)\)\. ## Picking up where I left off If you noticed slower project activity in April,[this is why](https://xenodium.com/and-then-there-were-three)\. I'm getting better at the[new 24\-hour job](https://xenodium.com/and-then-there-were-three), so[I've resumed working on agent\-shell](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/commits/main/)\. I'm still chipping away at the backlog that built up while I was away, but if there's anything in particular you'd like me to look at, feel free to ping\. ## Anthropic, Google, and why ACP matters With Anthropic's[SDK subscription support changing](https://zed.dev/blog/anthropic-subscription-changes), Google's[Gemini CLI deprecation](https://developers.googleblog.com/an-important-update-transitioning-gemini-cli-to-antigravity-cli/), and[Antigravity's unclear support for the Agent Client Protocol \(ACP\)](https://github.com/google-antigravity/antigravity-cli/issues/31), vendor\-neutral tools matter more than ever\. Luckily,`agent\-shell`is built on[ACP](https://agentclientprotocol.com/), which sidesteps the problem\. When a vendor changes course, you can swap providers and keep using your preferred tool\. No need to reshape that hard\-earned muscle memory\. On that note, the list of agents supported by`agent\-shell`continues to grow\. ### Supported agents Here's a list of the latest agents now supported by`agent\-shell`\.  - [Auggie](https://docs.augmentcode.com/cli/overview) - [Claude](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview) - [Cline](https://cline.bot/cli) - [CodeBuddy](https://www.codebuddy.ai/)\([new](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/483)by[@illidan127](https://github.com/illidan127)\) - [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex) - [Cursor](https://github.com/blowmage/cursor-agent-acp-npm) - [Factory Droid](https://factory.ai/) - [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) - [GitHub Copilot CLI](https://github.com/github/copilot-cli) - [Goose](https://block.github.io/goose/) - [Hermes](https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/)\([new](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/583)by[@yitang](https://github.com/yitang)\) - [Kimi Code](https://www.kimi.com/code)\([new](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/528)by[@nicolaisingh](https://github.com/nicolaisingh)\) - [Kiro](https://kiro.dev/) - [Mistral Vibe](https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-vibe) - [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai/) - [Pi](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/tree/main/packages/coding-agent) - [Qwen Code](https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code) ## agent\-shell needs your support Speaking of vendor\-neutral tools being more important than ever, there are a couple of ways to help keep`agent\-shell`going\. Some cost money, others just a click\. All are appreciated ;\) `agent\-shell`has been attracting quite a few users\. It's nice to hear folks are using`agent\-shell`on a daily basis\. They are often relieved`agent\-shell`exists as an alternative to AI\-tools commonly mandated at work\. Those tools have well\-funded engineering teams behind them, while`agent\-shell`is just me, an indie dev ;\) Time spent on`agent\-shell`is time away from work that pays the bills, so if it's useful to you, please consider[sponsoring](https://github.com/sponsors/xenodium)the project\. Every individual sponsorship genuinely helps keep the project going\. And if your employer benefits from your`agent\-shell`use, they're typically in a position to contribute at a scale individuals can't, so nudge them to chip in too\. Hey, I'm looking at you, folks at**Google**,**GitHub**,**GitLab**,**NVIDIA**,**Oracle**,**Red Hat**, Yelp, Venmo,**ARM**,**Spotify**,**Augment Code**, Hinge, Mercury, Nubank, Veeva… Some of you are using`agent\-shell`\. Nudge your employer ;\) ### GitHub stars for Anthropic credit [Anthropic offers 6 months of free Claude Max 20x](https://claude.com/contact-sales/claude-for-oss)for qualifying open\-source projects with at least 5,000\+ GitHub stars\.[Starring agent\-shell](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/)costs nothing and can save me some money\. We're only a 5th of the way there ;\) so if you don't mind a couple of clicks, the project can really use[another GitHub star](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/)\. Speaking of GitHub stars,`agent\-shell`is now my most popular Emacs package, recently overtaking[chatgpt\-shell](https://github.com/xenodium/chatgpt-shell/)\. [](https://www.star-history.com/#xenodium/agent-shell&xenodium/chatgpt-shell&Date) ## New markdown renderer agent\-shell now ships with a brand new, more performant inline markdown renderer\. This is the[biggest internal change](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/597)in some time\. Enabled by default via`agent\-shell\-markdown\-render\-function`\(moving away from the overlay\-based renderer in shell\-maker\)\. ### Access/navigate table content Table content is now accessible\. Point can land on any cell, which wasn't possible with the previous overlay implementation\. In addition, tables are now also navigable:`TAB`and`S\-TAB`move between cells\.  ### Improved source block support \(enabled by default\) Source\-block syntax highlighting is now on by default\. The per\-snippet copy button is now keyboard\-accessible too \(previously mouse\-click only, due to the overlay implementation\)\.  ### New blockquotes support Blockquotes now render in both shell and viewport\. More importantly, you can select text in either a viewport page \(or the shell itself\), press`r`\(for reply\) and the selection becomes a blockquote in a fresh prompt\. Viewport  Shell  ## Session restoration Session restoration got a meaningful overhaul \([\#605](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/605)by[@nhojb](https://github.com/nhojb)\), now exposed via`agent\-shell\-session\-restore\-verbosity`, with four levels: - `minimal`\(default\): title only, so restore is fast and quiet \(needs`session/resume`support\)\. - `last`: render the last prompt turn \(needs`session/load`support\)\. - `first\-last`: render the first and last prompt turns \(needs`session/load`support\)\. - `full`: replay the whole conversation \(needs`session/load`support\)\. Feature availability is agent\-specific, requiring either`session/resume`or`session/load`request support\.`agent\-shell`degrades as needed, ultimately falling back to creating a new session\. Note that anything but`minimal`verbosity is fairly new, so please[report bugs or rough edges](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/issues)\. Relatedly,`agent\-shell\-session\-strategy`now defaults to`'prompt`, and`'new\-deferred`has been retired\. ## Session forking You can now fork the current session, starting a new shell that shares the conversation history so far and diverges from there\. Invoke via`M\-x agent\-shell\-fork`\. ## Restart/reload session You can now restart the current shell anew \(drop history\) via`M\-x agent\-shell\-restart`or reload \(keep history\) via`agent\-shell\-reload`\. ## Downloads/Temp shells The new`agent\-shell\-new\-downloads\-shell`and`agent\-shell\-new\-temp\-shell`commands create agents anchored at either`~/Downloads`or a temp directory\. Both are also reachable via`C\-u M\-x agent\-shell`\.  ## TRAMP support [acp\.el \#20](https://github.com/xenodium/acp.el/pull/20)by[@martenlienen](https://github.com/martenlienen)landed support for ACP connections over TRAMP, now making it possible to drive remote agents from`agent\-shell`\. Pair it with[agent\-shell\-tramp](https://github.com/junyi-hou/agent-shell-tramp)for the user\-facing integration\. ## Viewport improvements Viewport interaction`\(setq agent\-shell\-prefer\-viewport\-interaction t\)`continues to be my primary way to interact with agents\. It is focused \(see only the latest interaction\), fast \(single\-key bindings:`y`= yes,`c`= continue,`m`= more…\), and offers a richer editing experience \(dedicated prompt\-crafting buffer\)\. The viewport is just a viewport to shell content\. You can have your cake and eat it too, by jumping to the related shell buffer if needed\. ### Queueing From a viewport, you can press`r`to reply to the latest agent response\. In the past, you could only reply to idle agents\. You can now press`r`to reply to busy agents too, automatically queuing requests on submission\. ### List editing mode A new \(basic\)`agent\-shell\-list\-edit\-mode`lets you edit list\-style content inside the viewport\.  ## Improved buffer selection Some commands prompt you to pick one of your active shell buffers \(e\.g\.`M\-x agent\-shell\-send\-region\-to`\)\. The picker now shows extra context for each buffer to help you choose\.  The same mechanism is now used by the new`M\-x agent\-shell\-switch\-buffer`command\. More on the underlying API later\. ## Improved folding Folding got smarter \([\#608](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/608)by[@codeluggage](https://github.com/codeluggage)\): - `M\-x agent\-shell\-ui\-toggle\-fragment`toggles the fragment at or near point \(DWIM\)\. - `M\-x agent\-shell\-ui\-toggle\-all\-fragments`cycles globally between all\-expanded and all\-collapsed\. Together they replace the previous`agent\-shell\-ui\-toggle\-fragment\-at\-point`, which is now an internal primitive\. ## `c`joins the viewport reply gang You can now press`c`from a viewport to quickly send a "continue" request, joining the rest of the single\-key reply shortcuts: - `c`: replies "continue" \(new\) - `y`: replies "yes" - `m`: replies "more" - `a`: replies "again" - `1`…`9`: replies with the corresponding numbered choice - `r`: opens the reply compose buffer - `R`: same as`r`, with the agent response quoted  ## More compact status rendering Tool call status is now rendered as a compact icon\-based label by default \(`agent\-shell\-\-inverse\-icon\-status\-kind\-label`\)\.`agent\-shell\-styles\.el`ships several alternatives, picked via`agent\-shell\-status\-kind\-label\-function`\.  To get the previous word\-based label back: ``` (setq agent-shell-status-kind-label-function #'agent-shell--inverse-label-status-kind-label) ``` ## Codex defaults You can now set a default model and session mode for Codex via`agent\-shell\-openai\-default\-model\-id`and`agent\-shell\-openai\-default\-session\-mode\-id`\([\#405](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/405)by[@robjgray](https://github.com/robjgray)\)\. Both must match an ID from Codex's "Available models" / "Available modes" listings\.  ## Emacs 31 fixes Headers had a few rendering hiccups on Emacs 31\. These are now fixed \([\#588](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/588)and[\#590](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/590)by[@nhojb](https://github.com/nhojb),[\#463](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/463)by[@ftlio](https://github.com/ftlio)\)\. Warnings from deprecated`when\-let`usage were also cleared\. ## Wayland clipboard support `wl\-paste`is now a supported clipboard handler for pasting images on Wayland \([\#461](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/461)by[@martenlienen](https://github.com/martenlienen)\)\. ## Windows clipboard support Similarly, pasting clipboard images now works on Windows via PowerShell \([\#572](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/572)by[@repelliuss](https://github.com/repelliuss)\)\. The graphical header got minor tweaks here and there\. For example, thought level is now displayed in the header\. It can be changed via`M\-x agent\-shell\-viewport\-set\-session\-thought\-level`as well as menus \([\#601](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/601)by[@martenlienen](https://github.com/martenlienen)\)\.    ## Session config options agent\-shell now supports ACP session config options \([\#553](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/553)by[@greggroth](https://github.com/greggroth)and[\#613](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/613)by[@catern](https://github.com/catern)\)\. Bind`C\-c C\-s`\(or call`agent\-shell\-set\-session\-config\-option`\) to pick from the options the agent advertises\. Broadcasted as`config\-option\-update`and available externally via`agent\-shell\-subscribe\-to`\. ## Interrupt confirmation You can now skip interrupt confirmations by unsetting`agent\-shell\-confirm\-interrupt`\([\#424](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/424)by[@emil\-e](https://github.com/emil-e)\)\. ## Public functions ### Resume sessions by ID You can now resume an existing session by its ID via`M\-x agent\-shell\-resume\-session`\([\#332](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/332)\)\. Primarily useful for external integrations\. ### Outgoing request decorator You can now use`agent\-shell\-outgoing\-request\-decorator`to tag or transform outgoing requests\. ### Subscribe to idle events `agent\-shell\-subscribe\-to`now broadcasts`idle`events \([\#509](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/509)by[@arthurgleckler](https://github.com/arthurgleckler)\)\. ### Getting shell buffers `agent\-shell\-shell\-buffer`returns the underlying shell buffer for the current context\. ### Last vs interaction at point `agent\-shell\-goto\-last\-interaction`jumps to the latest prompt/response pair, while`agent\-shell\-interaction\-at\-point`returns the interaction at point as data\. ### Shell status `agent\-shell\-status`returns`'busy`,`'blocked`, or`'ready`status for any shell buffer\. ### Session title The agent\-supplied session title is now exposed via the`session\-title\-changed`event \(delivered via`agent\-shell\-subscribe\-to`\) \([\#559](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/pull/559)by[@smagnuso](https://github.com/smagnuso)\)\. Can be handy for buffer names, bookmarks, or recent listings\. ## New third\-party packages The`agent\-shell`family of third\-party packages keeps growing\.

Interested in the nitty\-gritty? Have a look through[my regular commits](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell/commits/main/)\. ## Make the work sustainable If[agent\-shell](https://github.com/xenodium/agent-shell)is useful to you, please consider[sponsoring](https://github.com/sponsors/xenodium)the project\. I'm now back to working on`agent\-shell`daily\. LLM tokens aren't free, and neither is the time dedicated to building this stuff \(especially as an indie dev\)\. I also have bills to pay ;\) Unless I can make this work sustainable, I will have to shift my focus to work on something else that is\. ✨[Sponsor agent\-shell](https://github.com/sponsors/xenodium)✨ powered by[LMNO\.lol](https://lmno.lol/) [privacy policy](https://lmno.lol/blog/privacy-policy)·[terms of service](https://lmno.lol/blog/terms-of-service)
