Skales v12.7.2 - Cockpit

A release about seeing what is going on. What is running and where, what a conversation is costing, what a tool actually did or did not do, and what the model wrote when it meant to call one.

We've just released Skales v12.7.2, bringing a number of improvements focused on visibility and control over your AI agent's activities.

Seeing What's Happening

The Autopilot now shows a unified list of everything in flight: goals, runs, tasks, and scheduled jobs. Each item clearly states what it is, which surface it's on, the model involved, its last activity, and the primary action you can take. Background code sessions are also visible here for the first time.

Following Your Code

Code sessions can now be associated with a goal. Using /goal in the Code window creates a persistent ledger, and a strip above the composer shows progress, status, and whether it's running or waiting. This allows you to track coding tasks over multiple sessions.

Smarter Conversations

Models can now list your other conversations, showing their title, surface, model, and open goal. They can also leave an unread note in another session without initiating any new activity or incurring costs. For lengthy conversations, Skales will now offer to start a fresh session with a summary, clearly stating the history being carried and the starting point.

Updates and WordPress Control

An available update now stays visible until you address it, appearing as a persistent pill in the window chrome. We've also significantly expanded WordPress integration, allowing you to find, read, change, and delete posts, manage the media library, categories, tags, comments, menus, widgets, and even site settings like colours, fonts, and permalinks. The featured image can now be set correctly.

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.
