cc-changelog

cc-changelog is a skill for Claude Code from zeikar/hyperclaude. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,622 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-specific tool for reviewing changes in Claude Code releases that may affect the hyperclaude plugin. It compares a saved Claude Code version with the latest release and checks the official changelog against this repository's files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check Claude Code updates, review the changelog, compare versions, and optionally record the new version as the next baseline.
Why use it?
It avoids manually reading every release note and separates relevant changes from unrelated updates.

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

cc-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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (get-changelog.mjs, get-changelog.test.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

cc-changelog — Claude Code changelog watch (hyperclaude relevance)

Repo-local dev tool (NOT a plugin skill). Compare a stored "last-checked" Claude Code version against the current latest, mine the official changelog for everything in between, and report only what actually touches this repo's surfaces — then optionally advance the stored version so the next run diffs from here.

The value is not "summarize the changelog" — it is mapping generic Claude Code changes onto the specific surfaces of the hyperclaude plugin and verifying impact against the real repo files, exactly as a human maintainer would.

State file

.claude/skills/cc-changelog/.last-checked-version (sibling of this file, gitignored): a single line holding the last version the maintainer reviewed, e.g. 2.1.201. It is the diff baseline; it advances only in Step 6.

Procedure

Step 1 — Baseline

The diff baseline is .claude/skills/cc-changelog/.last-checked-version (one X.Y.Z line) — call it STORED. Step 2's helper reads it automatically; you don't Read it here. If the file is missing/empty the helper exits 2 — then ask the user which version to treat as the baseline (do not invent one) and pass it as the script argument.

Step 2 — Fetch and slice the changelog

The full CHANGELOG.md is ~5k lines; do not pull it whole into context. Run the local helper — it fetches the changelog and prints to stdout only the entries strictly newer than the baseline (it version-compares, so skipped numbers like 2.1.191→2.1.193 are handled; no temp file, no cleanup):

node .claude/skills/cc-changelog/get-changelog.mjs        # reads .last-checked-version
# or with a user-supplied baseline: node .claude/skills/cc-changelog/get-changelog.mjs 2.1.201

Read the Bash output directly (no Read, no temp file):

  • line 1 LATEST=<x.y.z> — the topmost changelog version → this is LATEST.
  • the rest — the sliced entries, verbatim, newest first (or (up to date — …) if none).

If the fetch fails (exit 1), fall back to WebFetch on https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-code/main/CHANGELOG.md asking for entries strictly greater than STORED.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
