What's new in Sprintree
New features and improvements, newest first.
October 2026
- Improved
Tell live connections with the same name apart
When two terminals share a name, such as two on main, Settings adds the first 4 characters of each session id to its row. They are the same as session= in the terminal's connected line.

Turn /claude commands on per session, without a restart
With plugin 0.7.0, type /sprintree:commands on in the terminal to let this session take /claude commands, or /sprintree:commands default on for every session without its own setting. Settings shows /claude on or off per connection.

/claude commands are off by default in Claude Code
Plugin 0.6.0 no longer passes /claude comments to your session until you turn commands on in your own Claude Code settings. The Live events docs show how. Every other line (mentions, replies, reviews, status changes) arrives either way.
Learn more - New
Live events in Claude Code
Mentions, assignments, replies, review requests and status changes now reach an open Claude Code session as they happen. Run /sprintree:connect to start. Settings lists your live connections.
Learn more - Improved
Connecting a GitHub repository links its existing commits
When you connect a repository, the commits already on its default branch (the last 90 days, up to 500) are linked to the issues they name, not only the ones pushed after you connected.
- Improved
Agent runs: open ones up front, closed ones tucked away
In Settings, runs that are still going stay open, and finished ones fold into one "closed runs" line with a row each. Closed runs are now deleted a day after they end instead of after a month.
- New
A faster start for new accounts
New accounts start from a template or the demo, and Home has a short getting-started card. Empty lists say what to do next: add example issues or let your AI agent do it. Filtered views that show nothing get Clear filters.
Learn more - New
One command connects Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI
The Sprintree agent plugin sets up the connection in one command and adds a skill that keeps your board in sync with what the agent does. Sign in once and you are done. The setup steps for each tool are on the MCP docs page.
Learn more - New
Agent runs
Coding agents that split work across helpers keep a private record of where each one stands, so the main agent picks up after clearing its context. Works with the sprintree-agent plugin for Claude Code.
- Improved
One Filters menu
Nine filter buttons are now one Filters button that shows how many are on. Its menu lists applied filters on top, each removable, with Clear all, then every filter with its value. The text box is now Search (same / key) and is not counted.
- New
Collapse board columns
Fold a board column into a narrow strip that keeps its count and loads nothing until you open it. Drop a card on a strip to move it. Saved per project. It replaces the Show Done switch: a hidden Done column is back, one click collapses it.
- Improved
Tables that behave
On a phone a wide table scrolls sideways inside its own block. Tables hold up to 100 rows and 50 columns, a document up to 20,000 cells, and a bigger pasted table is cut to fit with a notice. Code blocks have a Copy button.
- New
A smoother start
A new account starts in its own first project, from a template or with example issues you can remove in one click, and a Getting started card on Home ticks off the first steps. Signing in always opens the account you signed in with.
- Improved
Every MCP tool has its own docs page
The MCP docs list the tools in one short page, and each tool opens its own page with its parameters, answer and changes. The docs load faster, and you can link straight to one tool.
Learn more - New
Mermaid diagrams
A mermaid code block in a description, comment or page shows as a diagram. Edit source opens the code, Expand shows it full screen. The source stays in the text, so agents read and write it over MCP.
Learn more - Improved
Issue chips and unsaved edits
Issue keys in descriptions and pages now show their status, a card with the title on hover, and an Open button when the cursor is on them. Leaving a description or page with unsaved edits asks whether to save, discard or stay.
- New
Pages
Give every project a place for its documents: pages in a tree you reorder by dragging, in the same editor as issue descriptions, with versions and live status chips for issue keys. Link them with /page, comment, and use them over MCP.
Learn more - New
Agent flows with sysdraw
An agent connected to both Sprintree and sysdraw can draw an epic into its description or turn a diagram into linked tasks. The MCP docs show how.
- Improved
Pinned projects stay in their group
A pinned project that is in a group now shows under Pinned and inside its group, so the group no longer looks empty. Unpinning keeps it in the group.
- Improved
Join public projects
Open a public project's link and join it in one click. Public projects you haven't joined stay out of your sidebar and plan limits. You can make a public project shared or private again; people who joined by link are then removed.

Menus, dialogs and forms got a keyboard-only pass so every action can be reached without a mouse.
Learn more - New
