For about 11 hours on October 29, Cursor's extension marketplace served a trojanized Claude Code extension under Anthropic's real publisher ID to up to 5,000 users, which means the usual advice to check the publisher could not have caught it.

OpenAI is pulling its models from SpaceX-owned Cursor while Anthropic, which rents $1.25 billion a month of SpaceX compute, promises Cursor more Claude, and the new X Subscription now prices every rival model as an extra.

The Codex CLI config that ends the permission nagging — config.toml profiles, sandbox and approval modes, AGENTS.md, reasoning effort, MCP servers, and the codex exec setup for CI.

The OpenCode config that earns its keep — opencode.json layers, the build/plan agents, permissions, AGENTS.md, MCP, and the bring-your-own-model setup that survives a vendor pulling your access.

On June 7, 2026, X renamed the agent loop 'loop engineering' and called it the successor to harness engineering; The Deep Feed ran 47 Claude Code loops in a sandbox and found the naming churns while three of four technical claims hold, one to the cent.

Garry Tan's gstack passed 101,020 GitHub stars in ten weeks with 33 slash commands, 7 standalone CLIs and 4 OpenClaw skills, and this full reference covers every skill with three concrete examples and decodes the LOC controversy.

The Developers playlist is Anthropic's public lecture series for builders, and read against Building Effective Agents, MCP and Claude Code, its 15 videos hang together as one canon built on six core positions.

Two near-simultaneous coiners (Mitchell Hashimoto and Viv Trivedy), seven convergent voices and twelve coding agents that built the same primitives independently mark a discipline that crystallized in nine months.

Mubbu's May 3 X long-form lays out a 5-agent stack for running founder personal brands in 45 minutes a week, and this audit finds the architecture real but the proofs gated.

The Claude Code config Boris Cherny actually runs — settings.json layers, permissions, plan mode, memory, hooks, skills, subagents, MCPs, sandboxing, and the 5-worktree workflow.

Since Anthropic shipped the SKILL.md spec in September 2025, 480+ marketing-flavored skill repos have surfaced on GitHub, with four canon leaders, a bimodal quality distribution and four conspicuous gaps.

Michel Lieben's two May drops in 24 hours cover a 19-API picture and the API-led GTM playbook underneath; this audit sorts what shipped from what's vapor and lays out the five-step migration that decides whether a skill survives team handoff.
