Recent product updates, written for humans.

2026-08-23 · Product update · plugin v0.3.24

Lighter background uploads, clearer error messages

  • Background capture uses a 7-day rolling window. The silent background uploader now sends the last 7 days of activity each session instead of a full 30-day snapshot, so it finishes faster and stays out of the way. Older days are preserved on your aiqrank.com profile; the manual full-history backfill command still covers all 30 days when you need it.
  • Rejection reasons are now readable. When the server declines an upload, the log and the manual upload command now show the parsed reason (for example, "invalid inferred role") instead of a bare HTTP code, so troubleshooting no longer requires reading the source.
  • Uploads print a link instead of opening a browser. The upload command no longer launches a browser automatically — it prints the link for you to open when ready. Pass --open to keep the old behavior.
2026-08-20 · Product fixes

More dependable from sign-in to long workdays

  • Planning scores keep their signal. An outdated measurement from one day can no longer suppress valid planning activity across your score window.
  • Activity capture keeps up with intensive days. The activity-capture guard is now relaxed so increasingly intensive Claude Code workdays stay represented.
2026-08-12 · Product update · plugin v0.3.23

Agent runtimes join the rank

  • Hermes, OpenClaw, and NanoClaw. Local activity from all three now gets its own score, profile tab, and leaderboard.
  • Automation measured honestly. Scheduled and spawned work contributes to schedule and orchestration signals without inflating ordinary session counts.
2026-08-05 · Product update · plugin v0.3.22

A quieter, smarter update path

  • No stale reminders. Once your installed plugin is current, older update notices clear instead of returning at every new session.
  • Correct Codex bundle. Codex now recognizes its Claude-compatible plugin path and uses the newest cached bundle when older managed artifacts are still present.
2026-08-04 · Product update · plugin v0.3.21

Codex speaks Codex

  • Correct update instructions. Codex now shows its namespaced AIQ Rank command when a plugin update is available, while Claude Code keeps its slash-command flow.
  • Same easy path. Run $aiqrank:aiqrank inside Codex to refresh the plugin and managed scan artifacts.
2026-08-04 · Product update · plugin v0.3.20

A clearer picture of how you work

  • Broader activity capture. Claude Code and Cowork now capture more of the command breadth and planning structure in your practice.
  • More transparent scores. Your profile now shows the methodology version behind your score, while the dimensions page explains how weighting and normalization work.
2026-08-02 · Product update · plugin v0.3.19

Codex updates itself from inside Codex

  • No copy-and-paste installer step. Run $aiqrank:aiqrank and the plugin now asks the Codex CLI to refresh the marketplace plugin and its managed scan artifacts automatically.
  • Clearer update notices. Codex uses its namespaced skill command, while Claude Code keeps its slash-command flow.
2026-07-29 · Product update · plugin v0.3.18

Scores better reflect work that lands

  • Planning that leads somewhere. Planning gets recognition when it turns into real progress, not just an outline.
  • Custom skills that make a difference. AIQ Rank better recognizes the practices you create and use to move work forward.
2026-07-26 · Product update · leaderboard at a glance

See the community from the homepage

2026-06-10 · Product update · More of your practice counts

2026-04-26 · Methodology refresh

How dimensions are measured just changed

  • Renamed. context_leverage → async_delegation. Same underlying signal; clearer name.
  • Three new Claude dims. Practice Depth, Bespoke Practice, and Parallel Workstreams — all computable from data we already capture.
  • Four removed. Prompt Efficiency, Tool Diversity, Conversation Depth, and Basic Chat are no longer scored. They were either constant across users or saturated at the top of the cohort.
  • Scores rescored. Every existing score has been recomputed under the new methodology. Score history pre-this-date has been trimmed so the sparkline reflects the new normal, not a methodology-shift artifact.
  • Read more. /dimensions explains every dim in detail.
2026-04-24 · Release

AIQ Rank now ranks OpenAI Codex

  • Two leaderboards. Claude Code and OpenAI Codex each have their own leaderboard, reachable from the top nav. The "Leaderboard" word is replaced with two short links — Claude and Codex — each with a podium icon.
  • /leaderboard hub page. When you visit /leaderboard, pick which one you want.
  • One tool at a time on your profile. Your profile shows your score for one tool, with a small tab switcher when you have both.

Claude Cowork shows up on your profile

  • Cowork sessions counted. If you use Claude Cowork (the autonomous-agent mode), AIQ Rank now scans those sessions in addition to your interactive Claude Code transcripts.
  • New rows on your profile. Cowork sessions, Cowork messages, and Queue events appear in the "Raw activity" section when you have any. Hidden when you don't.

Fairer scoring per role

  • Your role sets the bar. Designers, marketers, founders and other non-engineers were graded against engineer-level usage, so they couldn't reach S-tier without behaving like engineers. Each role now has its own calibration — exceptional-for-a-marketer counts as exceptional, with proportionally less raw activity. The 1000 ceiling is reachable for every role.
  • Change your division in one click. A dropdown next to "Division" on your profile lets you switch role without leaving the page. Your score recomputes automatically.

UI polish

  • Public /changelog page. What you're reading now.
  • Cleaner leaderboard headers. Dropped the "AIQ RANK · LEADERBOARD" eyebrow and the "Ranked by AI proficiency score" lead-in. The leaderboard speaks for itself.
  • Division label on your profile. A clean role label under your handle.
  • Activity chart moved above the radar. You see your trend over time before your dimension breakdown.

Yegge developer-agent stage on your profile

  • New "Stage X.Y" chip next to your tier, mapping your activity to Steve Yegge's 8-stage developer-agent evolution model (Stage 5 "Editing Agents" through Stage 8 "Autonomous Agents" for Claude Code; 5–6 for Codex). A small "?" next to the chip links to Steve's "Welcome to Gas Town" post so you can read what each stage means.
