Skales v11.4.50 - Connect

v11.4.50 is the steady one. A long scheduled task no longer risks running twice, an unexpected restart keeps your usage limits and recent activity intact, and the Telegram status finally tells the truth about whether your bot is reachable. A calmer, more dependable Skales.

Hello everyone,

We've just released Skales v11.4.50, bringing some helpful updates to your local AI agent. This version focuses on making it easier to connect to remote services and ensuring your tasks run more reliably.

Connecting to More Remote Servers

You can now connect to remote MCP servers that require a sign-in, not just an API key. This means services like Higgsfield, which authenticate through your account, are now supported. Simply add the server, click "Sign in," approve the request in your browser, and its tools will be ready to use. We've even added Higgsfield to the quick-setup list for a one-step addition. Skales handles keeping you signed in and renewing access automatically, with a simple "Sign out" option available.

Skills Update Instantly

When you make changes to your own skills, those edits will now take effect immediately the next time the skill runs. You won't need to restart Skales to see your updated logic in action.

More Robust After Restarts

We've improved how Skales records its background state. This means that if Skales restarts unexpectedly, your hourly usage limit won't be reset, and recent activity will be preserved.

Improved Task Reliability

We've addressed an issue where long-running scheduled or background tasks could sometimes run twice. The system will now properly stop the old run before starting a retry, preventing duplicate actions. Additionally, if the Telegram bot encounters repeated startup failures, you'll now receive a notification to reconnect it, rather than it silently failing.

Updates Sep 6, 2026 Skales v12.9.26 - Grip Grip is the release where Skales stops when you say stop, and tells you what it costs before it spends. Under every reply sits the price of the session, read from the provider or from the price table, with the sub-agents' bill included; a ceiling you set in Goals stops a run before the next paid step and asks you three things - continue, take a cheaper model, or stop - in the chat, in the Code window, in Iris and on the phone. A typed "stop" is honoured before the first request leaves the machine, and a stopped run says so in its own bubble instead of pretending it finished. Credentials are locked away from the file, shell and search tools; a bulk action or a publish asks first, in every mode, and a yes never covers more than the card names. Updates Sep 4, 2026 Skales v12.9.25 - Backbone Backbone is the release where Skales got one engine. A chat you type, a task you scheduled, a job on a timer, a plugin, a webhook, a Discord message, a Telegram or WhatsApp turn and the desktop Buddy used to run on different loops with different rules; now they all run on the same one, with the same guards, the same budget and the same record of what happened. Close Skales in the middle of a run, update it, let it crash: the run comes back as an unfinished run, says how far it got, and one Continue picks it up at that step. Ask for something big and Skales can hand parts of it to sub-agents, each in its own checkout of your repository, and collect the results. Under every reply sits a context meter that names what filled the window: the system prompt, the tool definitions, your skills, your memory and the conversation itself. Updates Sep 2, 2026 Skales v12.9.21 - Cockpit 2.0 Cockpit 2.0 is named for the screen it replaces. What used to be two stacked tab bars, a second title and a row of icon chips is now one board: everything that stands, in four columns, with goals, your own tasks, Autopilot tasks and schedules as cards you can filter, drag and act on. One head, one action. The phone got the same board in 2.9.21, and a computer on an older version still fills it from what it can tell rather than showing an empty screen.
