changelog-claude

changelog-claude is a command for Claude Code from runnithan/claudex-setup. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,141 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that reads new Claude Code and Claude Platform release notes, compares them with a shared Claude Code setup, and applies owner-approved updates. Claude Code is a coding assistant that can be configured with shared commands and files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review release entries, identify setup changes, apply approved improvements, and run a report-only check without editing files.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that a global setup falls behind as the tools change, while keeping a record of what was already reviewed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

changelog-claude scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

/changelog-claude: keep the global Claude Code setup current with the changelog

Claude Code ships several times a week, and the global setup (the dotfiles repo behind ~/.claude) only catches up when the owner happens to read a release. This command reads every release since the last run, decides for each entry whether it changes what the setup should look like, and applies the changes the owner approves. Scope is the global setup: a tracked project's .claude/ is /optimise's job, and mining lessons is /extract-lessons'.

Sibling of /top-tips: same hub, same ledger discipline, same per-item walkthrough. Runs from any directory.

0. Inputs and locations

  • $ARGUMENTS: --since <version> overrides the ledger watermark for this run (the ledger still advances at the end); --dry-run triages and reports, edits nothing, leaves the ledger alone.
  • Hub (the claudex-setup checkout): git rev-parse --show-toplevel when that directory holds projects/README.md; otherwise two directories above the target of readlink -f ~/.claude/commands/changelog-claude.md. If neither resolves, stop and ask.
  • Ledger: <hub>/projects/changelog-claude-ledger.md. Frontmatter: watermark (the newest release already triaged), platform_notes_since (ISO date), windows_claude_home (the other machine's ~/.claude, empty when there is none). Missing file: create it from the §5 template with the watermark at the tenth most recent release, and say so in the report.
  • Config root: CLAUDE_ROOT="$(dirname "$(readlink -f ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md)")", the dotfiles repo when CLAUDE.md is a symlink into one, else ~/.claude itself. Files that matter: CLAUDE.md, settings.json, windows/settings.json (the other OS's variant, if present), settings.local.json, keybindings.json, skills/ (ignore gsd-*), hooks/.
  • Versions: claude --version against the newest ## x.y.z heading in the changelog. When windows_claude_home is set, also read the Windows install's version from WSL with cd /mnt/c && cmd.exe /c claude --version (cmd.exe refuses a WSL working directory): the two are separate installs that update separately, so the WSL version says nothing about Windows.
  • $SCRATCH below is the session scratchpad directory named in your system prompt.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
