Which agents work with it?

Any agent that reads skills from a directory. Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI read it natively; Cursor and VS Code connect over MCP.

The voice runs on your own machine, so there is nothing to meter. The first run downloads it, about 340 MB.

Yes. The skill is MIT-licensed and the authoring format is public.

Claude Code v2.1.318: claude auth status now shows when your stored claude.ai sign-in ends, and claude -p warns 10 days ahead. Also: a broken ~/.claude.json is no longer replaced with defaults, the IDE extension no longer installs itself from an IDE terminal, cloud sessions can start without a repository, and background subagents move long shell commands aside after 3 minutes. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.318 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/compare/v2.1.317...v2.1.318

Claude Code now tells you when your stored claude.ai sign-in ends. claude auth status shows the date, and claude -p starts warning ten days ahead, so a scheduled job no longer just stops one morning.

Claude Code now tells you when your claude.ai sign-in ends

claude auth status
shows the date a stored claude.ai sign-in ends, as loginExpiresAt
claude -p
JSON results carry credential_expires_at; text output warns on stderr from 10 days before
At the limit
the failure says the sign-in ran out and names claude auth login and claude setup-token

CHANGELOG.md · anthropics/claude-code
If your ~/.claude.json file was damaged, a headless launch used to replace it with defaults. Now Claude Code refuses to start, says how to restore it, and leaves the file alone.
Slide text

>A broken ~/.claude.json is no longer replaced with defaults

Before
a non-interactive launch replaced a ~/.claude.json that isn't valid JSON with defaults
Now
the start fails, says how to restore the file, and leaves it as is
Network homes
~/.claude.json, settings and the stored login are less often deleted, emptied or replaced by an older copy

CHANGELOG.md · anthropics/claude-code
Starting Claude Code inside your editor's terminal used to install or update the IDE extension for you. It no longer does. Run /ide from an outside terminal, or update it from your editor's extensions view.
Slide text

>Claude Code no longer installs its IDE extension from an IDE terminal

Before
starting Claude Code in an IDE terminal installed or updated the IDE extension
Now
it leaves the extension alone
Instead
run /ide from an outside terminal, or use your editor's extensions view

CHANGELOG.md · anthropics/claude-code
Cloud sessions on an Anthropic-hosted environment get a No repository option, so you can start one without picking a repo. And tools other than Playwright can now find the built-in Chromium.
Slide text

>Cloud sessions can now start without a repository

No repository
a cloud session on an Anthropic-hosted environment can start without picking a repository
Chrome names
google-chrome and CHROME_PATH find the built-in Chromium, so tools other than Playwright can use it

CHANGELOG.md · anthropics/claude-code
A background subagent now moves a shell command to the background after three minutes, on every provider. That keeps the prompt cache from expiring while a long build or test run finishes.
Slide text

>Background subagents move a long shell command aside after 3 minutes

After 3 minutes
a background subagent moves its running shell command to the background
Providers
all of them
Why
so the prompt cache doesn't expire while the command runs

CHANGELOG.md · anthropics/claude-code
Three fixes. --continue no longer loses your earlier conversation after a bad tool call. Mac sessions running many Bash commands stop stalling. And keys you type after sending a message no longer answer a permission prompt.
Slide text

>Fixed: lost conversations, stalled Macs and stray keypresses

--continue
no longer loses the earlier conversation after a malformed tool call's retries run out
macOS
sessions with many running Bash commands no longer stall while memory grows
Permission prompts
keys typed just after sending a message no longer answer them

CHANGELOG.md · anthropics/claude-code
The Claude Code changelog lists dozens more fixes, for MCP, cloud sessions, VS Code and the gateway. If you run claude -p on a schedule, I'd update today. The sign-in warning alone is worth it.
