Check Sdk Updates

Check SDK Updates

Compare the versions of @anthropic-ai/claude-code, @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk, and @openai/codex-sdk declared in package.json against the latest published version on npm.

Steps

1. Read the dependencies block of package.json and extract the current declared range for each of:

   • @anthropic-ai/claude-code
   • @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk
   • @openai/codex-sdk

2. Run the following command (single Bash call) to fetch latest versions in parallel:

   npm view @anthropic-ai/claude-code version & \
   npm view @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk version & \
   npm view @openai/codex-sdk version & \
   wait
   

   Map the three lines of output back to the three packages in the order requested.

3. For each package, compare the declared version (strip leading ^/~) with the latest. Report a compact table:

   Package                              Current    Latest     Status
   @anthropic-ai/claude-code            2.1.119    2.1.120    ⬆ update
   @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk       0.2.119    0.2.119    ✓ up to date
   @openai/codex-sdk                    0.125.0    0.126.0    ⬆ update
   

4. For each outdated package, analyze the gap between current and latest so the user can decide how to implement the update. For each one:

   a. Get the list of versions in between with:

   npm view <pkg> versions --json
   

   Filter to versions strictly greater than current and ≤ latest. Note the count and span (patch / minor / major bumps).

   b. Try to fetch release notes / changelog. Try in this order, stop at the first that works:

   • npm view <pkg> repository.url → if it points to a GitHub repo, use gh release list -R <owner/repo> --limit 30 and gh release view <tag> -R <owner/repo> for the relevant tags.
   • Look for a CHANGELOG.md inside node_modules/<pkg>/ (already-installed copy reflects the current version, but its history section may still cover newer versions if upstream backfills).
   • Fall back to: npm view <pkg>@<latest> --json and read the description / homepage fields, then WebFetch the homepage's changelog/releases page.

   c. Summarise per package in 2–4 bullets:

   • Number of versions skipped (e.g. "5 patch releases, 1 minor")
   • Any breaking changes or notable API/CLI changes
   • Any items that touch the parts of our codebase that consume this SDK (e.g. electron/claude-agent-manager.ts, electron/codex-agent-manager.ts, electron/openai-agent-manager.ts)
   • Risk assessment: low / medium / high, with one-line justification

5. After the per-package analysis, suggest the exact npm install command to bump them, e.g.:

   npm install @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest @openai/codex-sdk@latest
   

   Group low-risk bumps together; call out any high-risk bump as needing a separate, careful update. Do NOT run the install — only suggest it. Wait for the user's confirmation before installing.

Notes

• Use npm view (not npm outdated) so the check works without touching the lockfile or node_modules.
• If npm view fails (offline / registry error), report which package failed and stop.
• Keep the output short — table + suggested install line is enough.
