I Built a Plugin Because Anthropic Won't Stop Shipping

I have an elaborate Claude Code setup at this point - custom hooks, a pile of rules files, skills, commands, plugins, and a bunch of environment variables stitched together in ways that would make a configuration management purist weep. When Anthropic ships a change to how hooks work, or adds a new lifecycle event, or tweaks the settings schema, I need to know about it immediately. Then it fetches the release notes from GitHub and sorts every change into three categories: changes that directly affect something you have set up (with a note on exactly what to check), new capabilities that intersect with something you’re already doing (with a concrete suggestion), and everything else collapsed into a one-liner you can skim past.
