Smithers 0.24.2 makes onboarding a single command, fixes a Codex regression that stripped tool access from agentic tasks, adds the fix-all-issues workflow, and prints a manual fallback when mcp add fails. The rest is documentation: the home page and human guide were rewritten, ClaudeCodeAgent authentication is documented, and stale model IDs in the examples were refreshed. There are no breaking changes and no public API symbols were removed.

​
One-command onboarding

bunx smithers-orchestrator init now does the whole setup in one step.
  • init auto-installs the curated smithers skill into the coding agents it detects on your machine, so there is no more manual mkdir or curl.
  • It seeds an editable hello workflow (.smithers/workflows/hello.tsx with its prompt in .smithers/prompts/hello.mdx) as the smallest end-to-end example to run and tweak.
  • The home page and the For Humans guide were rewritten around this one-command flow.

​
Workflows

  • New fix-all-issues workflow: it decomposes every open issue, drives a Codex test-first implementation, runs dual review, and opens a PR. An excludeNumbers filter lets you skip specific issues.

​
Agents

  • Fixed a Codex regression where native structured output was always on, which removed tool access from agentic tasks. Native structured output is now opt-in, so agentic Codex tasks keep their tools.
  • Documented ClaudeCodeAgent authentication: subscription billing by default (the agent clears ANTHROPIC_API_KEY so the claude CLI bills your Pro/Max subscription), per-directory subscription login via configDir (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR), and API billing via apiKey.
  • Refreshed stale model IDs in the AI SDK examples and integration docs (claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929 to claude-sonnet-4-6, gpt-5.2-codex to gpt-5.5).

​
CLI

  • bunx smithers-orchestrator mcp add now prints a copy-paste manual fallback command when the underlying agent’s mcp add fails, so registration is recoverable without leaving the terminal.

​
Quality

  • Added an agent-fluency eval suite: a weak-model, one-shot regression suite that exercises every Smithers feature.
