Mid-to-late June’s Devin CLI notes are about governed extensibility: installable skill plugins, org controls over what Local may run, then a streak of MCP and subagent polish. Ship dates below are from Cognition’s Update descriptions — not from the version numbers.
What shipped
v2026.7.16 · 2026-06-16
Plugins. Bundles of skills from GitHub, a git URL, or a local folder. A plugin needs .devin-plugin/plugin.json plus a skills/ directory; skills show up as /<plugin>:<skill>. Plugins can require, endorse, or forbid other plugins — a curated collection, not a pile of ad-hoc skills. Cognition marked plugins beta and enterprise opt-in.
Enterprise controls. Teams can allow/deny terminal commands via CLI permission scopes (exact match and * wildcards). Orgs can disable CLI plugins entirely. “Disable CLI access” team settings are enforced for Devin Local in Windsurf, including agent registry and allowed-MCP allowlists.
Commands noted in the release: devin plugins install|list|info|update|remove, plus glob-capable forbiddenPlugins.
v2026.7.19 · 2026-06-17
Bugfix: skill files that use alternative frontmatter fields now load correctly.
v2026.7.23 · 2026-06-18
MCP registry parsing is more tolerant of old or inconsistent schemas — fewer false failures when registries aren’t pristine.
v2026.8.18 · 2026-06-23
Subagents can take a default model. attribution: false in the Local config file suppresses Devin mentions in commit messages. MCP registry cache warms at startup. Windows bash resolves to Git Bash rather than the WSL launcher stub; injected context stays out of auto session titles; CLI question replies wrap full-width correctly.
Why it matters
If you’re rolling Devin Local into a pair-programming + CI shop, this wave is policy and packaging: plugins without an allow/deny story is how secrets leak; plugins with scopes is how you keep agent autonomy inside the same fences as humans. Still verify beta status before org-wide mandate.
