What's New
The running record of what shipped in Punk, in plain terms. Newest first. For the engineering-level history, see the repository changelog.

Accounts, teams, and billing
- Organizations and teams. Every account belongs to one or more organizations.
- Sign in, your way. Email-and-password accounts for the dashboard sit alongside

Invite teammates by email, switch between organizations from the sidebar, and manage members and roles per organization. Owners can remove members and delete an organization outright, and a removed member loses access immediately.
API keys for your agents, SDK, and tools. Self-serve signup with email verification can be switched on when you want open access; invitations always work.

Workflows, chat, and agents
- Chat that gets cheaper. Every reply in the chat view shows the route it took
- Scheduled agents. Single-task runners with a prompt, a model, and an optional

tool calls, web fetches and actions, branches, and a new map step that runs a body over every item in a list. Notify Slack or a webhook on completion. Every model step inside a workflow is a real governed, cached run, so workflows get cheaper the more they run.
The runtime, in your editor
- Punk Runtime Engine for Claude. Punk runs as an MCP server inside Claude Code
and the Claude app: run workflows, fetch the semantic web, check savings and approvals, and explain any run, all as native tools. An optional hook records each prompt as an observed run, so your normal work gains Punk's observation and audit without changing how you work.
Trust, safety, and reliability
- Provider failover. If your primary model provider has an outage, requests
- Tripwires and honeytokens. Plant decoy credentials and detect when an agent
