I Built a Plugin Because Anthropic Won't Stop Shipping
Anthropic’s Claude Code is updated every day, delivering fixes and new features but also introducing breaking changes that can cripple custom hook configurations. Developer Brad Feld built a /whats-new plugin that scans a user’s Claude Code setup—hooks, rules, skills, commands, plugins, and environment variables—and cross‑references it with the latest release notes.
