Published: 2026-07-29 Tags: release npm patch

NextClaw v0.27.6 is an npm stable patch release. Codex and Claude Code Agent Runtimes can receive NextClaw product, workspace, and skill context without replacing their native instructions. Rich responses are easier to inspect and reuse, and queued chat messages stay out of the conversation until they actually begin running.

Features

• Codex and Claude Code Agent Runtimes now keep their native system instructions while receiving relevant NextClaw product guidance, workspace context, and skill information.
• Runtime context injection is enabled by default and can be inspected or changed per runtime with nextclaw agents runtime config.

Enhancements

• Panel Apps and HTML content can receive structured runtime data through the read-only window.nextclaw.params object during initial script execution.
• Mermaid diagrams in chat can be opened in a full-screen preview and closed with the button, backdrop, or Escape key.
• When comparisons, flows, hierarchies, or numeric relationships are easier to understand visually, Agents are more likely to choose a compact table or Mermaid diagram; simple answers remain concise.

Fixes

• Messages added while an AI response is running remain in the pending queue until execution starts, so they no longer appear twice in the chat.

Defaults and Compatibility

• Existing nextclaw@0.27.5 installations can update through the stable channel or reinstall nextclaw@latest.
• No configuration, session, or file migration is required.
• Disabling or restoring Agent Runtime context injection requires the affected service to restart before the new setting takes effect.
• This patch does not include a new desktop installer.
