Skales v12.0.0 - Solid is Live!

Per-chat reasoning-effort control (native output_config.effort and

We're pleased to share Skales v12.0.0, a significant update focused on making your AI agent more helpful and personal.

Role Bundles for Organisation

Skales now supports a structured format for role bundles. This means skills, connectors, and slash-commands for a specific job role are kept together in a single folder. A loader checks that everything in the bundle is connected and usable, ensuring roles are complete from the start. This is the foundation for future organisation, with an example bundle available in the developer kit.

Learning from Your Successes

Skales now learns from your completed tasks. When a goal is achieved, Skales saves the successful approach as a short, reusable method and notes what to avoid. This means future similar tasks start with a better understanding. Your feedback on finished goals, like "that's perfect" or "that was wrong," helps refine these learned approaches. A new memory page shows these lessons, allowing you to pin what you use often and remove what you don't.

Proactive Assistance and Briefings

Skales is designed to stay a step ahead. It will now surface upcoming meetings or tasks that haven't run, and can quietly prepare for meetings with an agenda. Instead of a constant stream of notifications, you'll receive a single, calm daily briefing. The memory page details what Skales anticipated and why, with options to adjust notification settings.

Smarter Chat Organisation

Conversations now get short, descriptive titles drawn from the initial exchange, making them easier to identify than just the first line of your message. Skales can also display existing image files directly within the chat. Additionally, a small dot will appear on the document button when a chat has an unsaved document, making it easier to find important artifacts.

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.
