Cognition has released the Devin Vulnerability Fixes plugin, three MIT-licensed agent skills that inventory, patch and test PHP, Node.js and self-managed GitLab deployments affected by this week's critical remote code execution flaws. The plugin then opens one pull request per repository.
Microsoft Research has released Agensh, a multi-agent harness with no central orchestrator in which self-organising workers share a Git repository, a chat and a findings board. On ProgramBench, with a six-hour budget, it scaled from one agent to 1,024.
