The README still pitched DevSpace as "Bring a Codex-style coding workflow to ChatGPT" and "Turn ChatGPT into Codex", the June launch framing. Since then the product has become agent-agnostic. MCP hosts (ChatGPT, Claude, and proactive agents like Grok Bot) reach your machine, and any coding agent can hand work to any other through devspace agents. Neither the landing page nor the docs describe it the old way any more.
The README now leads with both halves, then gives coding agents and MCP hosts their own sections. It covers what shipped in 1.1 and 1.1.1: subagents, profiles, worktrees, experimental dynamic workflows, setup without prompts (devspace init --yes, --public-url/--roots), and the Copy prompt for agent self-setup. The 2026-07-28 protocol note moves into the MCP host section. The docs list links the subagents, profiles, and workflows pages, and every link resolves to an existing page. The Philosophy section moves from "ChatGPT becomes the operating system" to the agent-agnostic argument the docs already make. That one is your voice, so it's worth a read.
The GitCMS entry in "More from me" still described it as a CMS for markdown-based content sites. It now uses GitCMS's canonical definition from gitcms-site/src/lib/positioning.ts, which asks to be quoted verbatim: the CMS for code-first and AI-built websites, one safe place for teams, clients, and AI agents to edit, review, and publish while everything stays in the repo.
The sponsors block, platform table, author section, and local development section are unchanged.

Walkthrough
The README now presents DevSpace as an agent-agnostic connection between MCP hosts, local workspaces, and coding agents. It adds setup and usage instructions for agent delegation and MCP access, and updates related links and the GitCMS description.
Changes: README documentation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Product framing README.md
The tagline, introduction, mental model, and philosophy describe workspace access and coding-agent delegation.
Setup and usage README.md
Installation guidance adds setup options. New and revised instructions cover agent skills, delegation, profiles, worktrees, experimental workflows, and MCP-host setup and capabilities.
Related descriptions README.md
The README updates documentation links and describes GitCMS as a CMS for code-first and AI-built websites.
The documentation update is mergeable with bounded follow-up, but should clarify opt-in worktrees, make review examples read-only, and accurately describe full-access permissions so users do not assume protections that are absent.

Document that parallel writers need --worktree for isolation.
The README says parallel writers get their own Git worktrees. agents run creates one only when --worktree is passed. Without the flag, parallel writers share the checkout, and the docs warn that they can overwrite each other.

Restrict the review agents to read-only writes.
Both agents run commands in the example omit --worktree and --write-mode. Worktrees are opt-in, so both agents use the current checkout. The default write mode is allowed, so a review agent may edit files while the other agent runs. Add --write-mode read_only to both commands.

Remove "scoped to the project" from the subagent access sentence.
The new sentence says subagents are "scoped to the project they are started from." In full_access mode, subagents run without a sandbox, so their commands can reach files and credentials outside the project. Describe that limit correctly.
As per coding guidelines: "Shell commands run with the local user's authority and are not a general sandbox. Never imply that shell execution is contained merely because file tools are contained."
📝 Suggested wording
-with your local user's authority and logins, scoped to the project they are-started from.+with your local user's authority and logins. In `full_access` mode, a subagent+runs without a sandbox and can reach files, credentials, and commands outside+the project.
