What it does

Cc Changelog is an agent skill from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. CONTRIBUTOR TOOL - Track CC changelog, extract new versions since last check, analyze impact on plugin (breaking changes, opportunities, deprecations). Run periodically or before releases. NOT part of the distributed plugin.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/analysis-rules.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with Bash. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code plugin for Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView — 26 specialist agents, Iron Laws enforcement, and Tidewave MCP integration. Plan features with parallel research agents, execute… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/cc-changelog”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Fetch & Extract New Entries
  2. Analyze Impact
  3. Generate Report
  4. Update State

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9767a82. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cc Changelog loads about 864 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 273 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~864
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Claude Code Changelog Assistant

Tracks Claude Code releases against the plugin. Fetches the CC changelog, extracts entries newer than last check, and analyzes impact on plugin components (agents, skills, hooks, config).

Usage

text
/cc-changelog                  # Check for new CC versions, analyze impact
/cc-changelog --full           # Re-analyze all versions (ignore last check)
/cc-changelog --set=2.1.85     # Reset last checked version (then re-run)

Execution Flow

Step 1: Fetch & Extract New Entries
bash
bash "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/scripts/fetch-cc-changelog.sh"

If output starts with STATUS: UP_TO_DATE → report "No new CC versions" and stop.

If STATUS: NEW_VERSIONS → continue with the changelog content below the header.

For --full: run bash "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/scripts/fetch-cc-changelog.sh" --all For --set=X: run bash "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/scripts/fetch-cc-changelog.sh" --set=X, then re-run without flag.

Step 2: Analyze Impact

Read the new changelog entries. For EACH entry, classify into one of:

CategoryMeaningAction
BREAKINGMay break existing plugin functionalityImmediate fix required
OPPORTUNITYNew CC feature the plugin could useAdd to backlog/plan
RELEVANT FIXCC fixed a bug we worked aroundCheck if workaround can be removed
DEPRECATIONCC removing something we usePlan migration
INFOGood to know, no action neededLog in memory update

Cross-reference against plugin components using rules in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/analysis-rules.md.

Step 3: Generate Report

Output a structured report:

markdown
## CC Changelog Analysis: v{last_checked} → v{latest}

### BREAKING (action required)
- [version] description → **Impact**: which plugin file/component
  **Fix**: specific action needed

### OPPORTUNITY (new features)
- [version] description → **Use case**: how plugin could benefit
  **Files**: which plugin files to update

### RELEVANT FIX (workaround removal)
- [version] description → **Current workaround**: what we do now
  **Action**: can we simplify?

### DEPRECATION (migration needed)
- [version] description → **We use this in**: file:line
  **Migration**: what to change

### INFO (no action)
- [version] brief summary (collapsed)
Step 4: Update State

After user reviews the report, ask:

"Update last checked version to {latest}? This also updates the CC internals memory file. [Yes/No]"

If yes:

  1. Run bash "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/scripts/fetch-cc-changelog.sh" --set={latest}
  2. Update memory file reference_cc_source_internals.md with new findings
  3. If BREAKING or DEPRECATION items found, offer to create a plan

Iron Laws

  1. ALWAYS fetch before analyzing — never analyze stale cache
  2. NEVER auto-update state — user must confirm after reviewing report
  3. ALWAYS cross-reference plugin files — don't just summarize, map to impact
  4. BREAKING changes are BLOCKERS — surface first, prominently
  5. Track the audit version — state file is the source of truth
