What's Coming in v0.20.0: Agent Handoff and Staying 3D-First

CrewHub started as a monitoring dashboard. Then it grew a 3D world. Then rooms, bots, projects, and agent chat. Each version added more, but v0.20.0 is about removing something.

Zen Mode is being deprecated

Zen Mode started as a distraction-free way to focus on what matters: less chrome, more signal. Some of those ideas were genuinely good, and they’ve quietly shaped how we think about the interface. But the tools around CrewHub have moved fast. Claude Desktop now ships with Claude Code built in. The newer Codex is exceptional at running many tasks in parallel. The ecosystem has gotten very good at exactly the kind of focused experience Zen Mode was trying to provide.

Rather than pour effort into maintaining a mode that overlaps with tools your team is already using, we’d rather invest that energy into something more valuable: making CrewHub cooperate beautifully with those tools. Not compete with them.

So Zen Mode is going away. What replaces it is better.

What replaces it: Agent Handoff

Instead of trying to replicate what Claude Code and Codex do natively, v0.20.0 introduces Agent Handoff: a way to take any CrewHub session and continue it directly in Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Codex.

From any agent in the 3D world, you’ll be able to:

• Continue in Terminal : launches your terminal with claude --resume <session> ready to go
• Continue in Claude Desktop : opens the session directly in Claude Desktop via deep link
• Continue in Codex : hands off to the Codex CLI with full context
• Copy command : copies the CLI command to clipboard if you prefer to paste it yourself

CrewHub stays what it’s good at: the overview, the orchestration, the world. The hands-on agent work goes to the tools built for it.

The 3D world stays central

One thing that isn’t changing: the 3D world view is CrewHub’s core. Not a gimmick, not a toggle. It’s the primary way to see what your agents are doing, which rooms they’re in, and what’s happening across your whole setup at a glance.

The upcoming Claude Code improvements in v0.20.0 will make the 3D world even richer: better session tracking, more accurate bot states, and tighter integration with how Claude Code actually works.

The idea is simple: the 3D world gives you the helicopter view. Agent Handoff gets you on the ground when you need to be.

Timeline

Agent Handoff is in active development now. v0.20.0 is targeting release shortly after the feature is stable on the feature/agent-handoff branch.
