Release notes and version history for Letta Code

All notable changes to Letta Code are documented here.

0.13.5

Added automatic image resizing for clipboard paste (images larger than 2048x2048 are resized to fit API limits)
Improved error feedback when image paste fails
Fixed conversation ID being passed correctly to resume data retrieval

0.13.4

Default startup behavior reverted to single-threaded experience. Based on user feedback, letta (with no flags) now resumes the agent’s “default” conversation instead of creating a new conversation each time.

Command	0.13.0 - 0.13.3	0.13.4+
`letta`	Creates new conversation each time	Uses “default” conversation
`letta --new`	Error (was deprecated)	Creates a new conversation
`letta --continue` (no session)	Silently creates new	Errors with helpful message

Changed letta (no flags) to resume the “default” conversation with message history
Repurposed --new flag to create a new conversation (for users who want concurrent sessions)
Changed --continue fallback to error with helpful suggestions instead of silently creating new

0.13.3

Added messaging-agents bundled skill for sending messages to other agents
Added ability to deploy existing agents as subagents via the Task tool
Fixed interrupt handling race condition when tool approvals are in flight

0.13.2

Added skills frontmatter pre-loading for subagents (skills defined in subagent configs are auto-loaded)
Added output truncation for Task tool to prevent context overflow
Added auto-cleanup for overflow files
Fixed auto-allowed tool execution tracking for proper interrupt handling
Fixed hardcoded embedding model (now uses server default)

0.13.1

Added --default flag to access agent’s default conversation (alias for --conv default)
Added --conv <agent-id> shorthand (e.g., letta --conv agent-xyz → uses that agent’s default conversation)
Added default conversation to /resume selector (appears at top of list)
Added working-in-parallel bundled skill for coordinating parallel subagent tasks
Added conversation resume hint in exit stats
Improved startup performance with reduced time-to-boot
Fixed stale approvals being auto-cancelled on session resume
Fixed auth type display on startup
Fixed memory block retrieval for /memory command

0.13.0

This release introduces Conversations - a major change to how Letta Code manages chat sessions. Your agent can now have many parallel conversations, each contributing to its learning, memory, and shared history.

What Changed

Before 0.13.0:

Each agent had a single conversation
Starting Letta Code resumed the same conversation
/clear reset the agent’s context window

After 0.13.0 (updated in 0.13.4):

Each startup resumes the default conversation (reverted from 0.13.0-0.13.3 behavior)
Your agent’s memory is shared across all conversations
/new creates a new conversation (for parallel sessions)
/clear clears in-context messages
Use /resume to browse and switch between past conversations
Use letta --new to create a new conversation for concurrent sessions

Migration Guide

If you’re upgrading from an earlier version, you may notice that starting Letta Code puts you in a new conversation instead of continuing where you left off. Here’s what happened:

Your old messages still exist! They’re in your agent’s default conversation - the original message history before conversations were introduced. You can find it at the top of the /resume selector, or access it directly with the commands below.

Easiest way to access them (0.13.1+):

# Use the --default flag with your agent name
letta -n "Your Agent Name" --default

# Or with agent ID
letta --agent <your-agent-id> --default

# Or use the shorthand (agent ID only)
letta --conv <your-agent-id>

The default conversation also appears at the top of the /resume selector.

Alternative methods:

View them on the web at https://app.letta.com/agents/<your-agent-id>

Have your agent recall them using one of these prompts:

Using the recall subagent:

Can you use the recall subagent to find our most recent messages? I'd like to continue where we left off.

Using the conversation_search tool:

Can you use conversation_search to find our most recent messages so we can continue where we left off?

Using the searching-messages skill:

Can you load the searching-messages skill and use it to find our most recent messages?

Export and reference your agent file by running /download (saves to <agent-id>.af), then ask your agent:

I downloaded my agent file to ./agent-xxxx.af - can you read it and look through the "messages" array to find our most recent conversation?

Going forward, all new conversations will be accessible via /resume, and the default conversation is always available via --default.
