Week 42 Demo Day: v1 Alpha, Tailwind Support, and more - YouTube

We've been hard at work since launching the [v1 public preview](/content/blog/agentuity-v1-is-now-in-public-preview/index.html) earlier this week! Here's what's new.

## Standalone Agent Execution

Until now, agents ran inside HTTP request handlers. With this release, you can trigger agents from Discord bots, cron jobs, WebSocket callbacks, and other event-driven scenarios:

```
import { createAgentContext } from '@agentuity/runtime';
import myAgent from './agents/my-agent';

const ctx = createAgentContext();
const result = await ctx.invoke(() => myAgent.run(input));
```

You get _full_ infrastructure support—tracing, sessions, threads—plus access to all services like KV, vector, and streams. Check out the [examples](https://github.com/agentuity/sdk/tree/main/examples/standalone-context) or read the [docs](https://agentuity.dev/agents/standalone-execution) to learn more.

## CLI Self-Upgrade

Keeping your CLI up to date used to mean re-running the install script. Now it's a single command:

```
agentuity upgrade
```

Before upgrading, you'll see links to the changelog and release notes so you know what's coming. The CLI also checks for updates **automatically** and prompts you when a new version is available.

## Build Configuration

Want to use Tailwind CSS, add Bun plugins, or define compile-time constants? You can now add an `agentuity.config.ts` to your project:

```typescript
// agentuity.config.ts
import tailwind from 'bun-plugin-tailwind';

export default {
  plugins: [tailwind()],
};
```

We've also added a **Tailwind CSS template** so you can start with it out of the box. See the [Tailwind setup guide](https://agentuity.dev/cookbook/patterns/tailwind-setup) for details.

## Automatic Dependency Sync

One of the more frustrating issues we heard about: CLI and SDK version mismatches causing "feature not found" errors. Now, when you upgrade the CLI, your `@agentuity/*` packages automatically sync to match. No more version conflicts.

## Also Shipping This Week

Beyond the highlights above, here's what else we've worked on recently:

**New Capabilities**

- `agentuity cloud redis show` — fetch your Redis connection URL for external tools or debugging
- Storage upload streaming — upload large files without buffering in memory, with `--key` option for custom object keys
- Agentic sample button in workbench — generate sample agent input for easier testing
- Template inheritance system — templates can now inherit from each other, reducing duplication
- First-run setup experience — new welcome banner and getting started steps after CLI installation

**Developer Experience**

- Better error messages when mixing up `c.logger` vs `c.var.logger` in route handlers
- Workbench validation styling — schema toggle states and red borders for validation errors
- AGENTS.md auto-regeneration if deleted (e.g., after reinstalling node_modules)
- Cleaner template dependencies — `@agentuity/core` now a transitive dependency, faster installs
- Updated documentation — fixed `createApp()` and `createAgent()` examples, added route validation docs
- Workbench base URL support — better integration in custom deployments
- Improved chat interface in Workbench

**Stability**

- WebSocket reconnection resilience — exponential backoff, better handling during deployments
- 21 bug fixes including:
  - Configuration loading issues with `agentuity.config.ts` and Bun's module resolver
  - Terminal cursor restoration after CLI errors
  - API route 404 handling (no more HTML responses for missing API routes)
  - Route/agent discovery now skips utility files (`helpers.ts`, `types.ts`, etc.)
  - Regional ION hostnames for SSH/SCP commands

All changes are backward compatible.

## Try It Out

Ready to upgrade? Run:

```
agentuity upgrade
```

Your dependencies will auto-sync on the next build.
