ccc-changelog

ccc-changelog is a skill for Claude Code from KevinZai/commander. It costs 38 tokens per session (640 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that reads the newest section of a project’s `CHANGELOG.md`, the file that records release changes, and presents it as a short summary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing release notes after an update and checking the changes included in a particular version.
Why use it?
It saves you from searching through the changelog to find what changed in the latest version. It can also show a specified version when one is requested.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; $skill-name invocation.

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

Good fit Reviewing release notes after an update and checking the changes included in a particular version.

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

ccc-changelog scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 8d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

$ccc-changelog — What's New

Reads CHANGELOG.md at the repo root and surfaces the most-recent version section in a scan-friendly summary. Works whether invoked directly or triggered by the SessionStart version-transition nudge.

Steps (always in this order)

1. Locate CHANGELOG.md

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/../../CHANGELOG.md via the Read tool.

If that fails, try Bash: find ~ -name CHANGELOG.md -path "*/cc-commander/*" 2>/dev/null | head -1 and read the result.

If no CHANGELOG.md is found: output a friendly message — "CHANGELOG.md not found. Visit https://commanderplugin.com for release notes." and exit.

2. Extract the most-recent version section

Parse the file to find the first ## [ header (e.g. ## [4.0.0-beta.11] — 2026-04-23 — ...). Extract everything from that line up to (but not including) the next ## [ header. That is the "current release block".

If an argument (version string) was passed, instead find the section whose header contains that version string.

3. Render a digestible summary

Output in this exact structure:

## CC Commander [VERSION] — [DATE]

**[HEADLINE from changelog section if present, else first sentence of first paragraph]**

[CHANGES — grouped by emoji category, max 5 bullets per category, ≤15 words each]

---
Full notes: CHANGELOG.md

Grouping rules:

  • Scan the block for sub-headers (e.g. ### Security, ### Tests, ### UX, ### New skills) — preserve those as bold labels.
  • Under each label, output at most 5 bullet points, each compressed to the single most important fact.
  • If a section has more than 5 items, append: …and N more — see CHANGELOG.md.
  • Skip sections with zero bullets after filtering.
  • Maximum total output: 30 lines (not counting the header).

4. Footer

Always end with:

Run `/ccc` to get started or `$ccc-browse` to explore all 48 skills.

Anti-patterns

  • Never dump the raw CHANGELOG.md — always summarize.
  • Never truncate mid-sentence — compress, don't cut.
  • No numbered lists — bullets only.
  • No "Let me know if..." sign-offs.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

ccc-changelog is a skill published in the GitHub repository KevinZai/commander (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 640 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
