Published: 2026-07-15 Tags: release npm minor

NextClaw v0.23.0 is an npm stable minor update. This release makes Agent diagrams, inline content, project skills, and local files work more reliably in the same conversation flow, while preserving more state during streaming, focus changes, and dynamic rendering.

Features

• Chat messages now support more stable streaming Mermaid diagrams, with more consistent Markdown, inline content, and sidebar presentation hints in Agent output.
• The slash selector, bottom skill selector, and Agent context now distinguish project, NextClaw, global, and built-in skill sources.
• Project .agents/skills and project AGENTS.md can now participate in session context, so project-level skills and rules join the workflow more naturally.
• The session workspace can close pages, child sessions, drafts, and file tabs beyond the overview, then reopen them from the overview.

Enhancements

• Markdown file: links keep real line numbers, and large file previews read around the target line and scroll to the right location.
• nextclaw-inline file targets reuse the workspace preview surface for HTML, Markdown, code, images, media, PDF, and Office files.
• User messages can be copied, and final Agent responses are easier to scan across body text, inline content, and sidebar hints.

Fixes

• Background composer synchronization no longer overwrites page selection while streaming output is arriving.
• Holding delete in the focused composer no longer jumps the caret before the slash.
• Historical Markdown and inline Panel Apps no longer remount repeatedly when dynamic renderers or tool groups change.
• The update warning icon next to the version number now exposes the full reason, diagnostics, and recovery command on hover or keyboard focus.

Defaults and Compatibility

• No manual migration is required.
• NPM users can continue through the stable update path or reinstall nextclaw@latest to get this release.
• File preview and Markdown rendering improvements remain compatible with existing messages, while prioritizing original line numbers and conversation-state continuity.
