# What's New & Changelog Navigator
## Purpose
This skill helps you stay current with the rapid evolution of Claude Code (v2.x series). It provides a decision framework for adopting new features, lists breaking changes/deprecations, and identifies authoritative sources for announcements to separate signal from noise.
## When to Use
- You see a notification about a new Claude Code version and wonder "broken or better?"
- You encounter a feature that used to work but is now deprecated
- You want to know if a new "hype" feature (like Subagents) is worth the token cost
- You need to find the official release notes or migration guide
## Examples
**Example 1: Feature Evaluation**
```
User: "Should I start using the new Subagents feature?"
Claude: [Uses changelog-navigator]
### 🚦 Feature Analysis: Subagents
**Verdict:** 🟡 **Caution (Red Light for simple tasks)**
* **Cost:** High token usage (separate context window).
* **Complexity:** "Black box" decision making.
* **Recommendation:** Use only for separated concerns (e.g., Security Audit) where isolation is critical. For simple tasks, stick to CLI commands.
```
**Example 2: Breaking Change Check**
```
User: "Why isn't my 'Output Style' working anymore?"
Claude: [Uses changelog-navigator]
### ⚠️ Deprecation Alert
Output Styles were deprecated in **v2.0.30** but **un-deprecated** later due to demand.
**Action:** Run `claude update` to ensure you are on v2.1.0+ which restores support.
```
