New dynamic workflows tackle very large-scale problems and fast mode runs at up to 2.5x speed. Autonomously writes, debugs, and refactors code in extended sessions. Terminal interface, MCP integration, hooks, plan mode, and parallel sub-agents. Available in CLI, VS Code/JetBrains extensions, web, and as an SDK.
