How does the skill remember which version I'm on?

It maintains a state file located in your local directory (~/.claude/logs/00-changelog/) that stores the date and version of the last scan.

What information is included in the generated report?

The report provides a structured overview of version headers, release dates, breaking changes, new features, and bug fixes using a clean markdown format.

Can I check for updates since a specific version?

Yes, the skill supports the --since flag, allowing you to filter the scan and report for changes occurring after a specific version number.

Which sources does the Changelog Watcher scan?

The skill fetches data from official sources at code.claude.com, including the main changelog, CLI reference, hooks documentation, and plugin references.
