Cubicle v0.22: a wider office, approvals you can read, and four new agent feeds
Cubicle shows your AI agents as people in a pixel-art office: they walk to a desk when they start working, raise a hand when they need you, and go for coffee when they’re done. Last week’s post was about answering them from Telegram. Here’s what changed since. The office grows sideways. A big company on a wide screen used to stack more and more rows.

Cubicle, an AI agent monitoring tool, recently received updates that enhance its functionality and usability. The office layout has expanded, with additional desk wings designed to match the window's width, providing more space for AI agents to work. This change allows for a wider office environment, accommodating a greater number of agents.
Notably, the approvals feature has been improved. When an agent raises a hand to request approval from the board, clicking on this hand now displays the approval's title, summary, and potential risks. Clicking on the approval link directly directs users to the Paperclip approval page, streamlining the approval process. Telegram messages also include this summarized information, making it easier to review actions taken.
False alarms have decreased since the last update. If an agent's run encounters an issue and is paused or completed, the "Last run failed" label is no longer displayed on the agent's card, reducing clutter and improving clarity. Additionally, a "needs you" message is marked as completed only after it has been addressed, preventing unnecessary disturbances.
Cubicle now supports more agents thanks to contributions from Serkan Özcan. These additions include a read-only observer for Codex Desktop/CLI, feed examples for GitHub Copilot, Antigravity, and Grok CLI, a macOS LaunchAgent setup, and improved Telegram access controls. Users can now specify which Telegram users are allowed to pair and receive alerts, enhancing privacy and control.
To try out the updated Cubicle, users can access it via npx @caglarutkuguler/cubicle or install it as a Paperclip plugin using npx paperclipai plugin install @caglarutkuguler/cubicle. The source code is available on GitHub at https://github.com/caglarutkuguler/cubicle. The project continues to welcome theme ideas, such as hospital, kitchen, classroom, and newsroom, which are documented in docs/THEMES.md for those interested in creating their own custom themes.
