SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Keeping a Claude Code-based system current requires manually tracking dozens of Anthropic sources, YouTube channels, and GitHub repositories, then figuring out which updates actually matter for your setup. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Source Monitoring: Checks 30+ Anthropic sources (blogs, GitHub repos, changelogs, docs) plus configured YouTube channels and GitHub trending repositories for new content. - Technique Extraction: Extracts concrete code patterns, configurations, and API signatures from release notes and video transcripts rather than producing vague summaries. - Internal Reflection Mining: Analyzes algorithm reflection logs (JSONL) to surface recurring execution problems and propose targeted fixes to system specifications. - Use Case: Run an upgrade check to receive a prioritized report ranking discoveries by interestingness and recommendations by criticality, each mapped to specific files in your system with implementation code. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to check for upgrades and generate a prioritized Aurora upgrade report.

Frequently Asked Questions about AuroraUpgrade

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check for Claude Code updates automatically?

Run the Upgrade workflow, which executes the Anthropic.ts monitoring tool against 30+ configured sources including the claude-code repository, changelogs, and documentation sites. It compares content hashes against saved state to report only new changes.

How to extract techniques from YouTube video transcripts?

The YouTube agent fetches recent videos from configured channels using yt-dlp, retrieves transcripts, and extracts specific code patterns and configurations with timestamps. Videos without extractable techniques are skipped with a recorded reason.

What sources does the Anthropic monitoring tool track?

It tracks 4 blogs, 9 GitHub repositories including claude-code and MCP specification, 4 changelog pages, and 6 documentation sites. Sources are defined in sources.json with priority levels and per-source commit and release checking flags.

Can I add my own YouTube channels to monitor?

Yes, add channel entries to youtube-channels.json in the user customizations directory at ~/.claude/Aurora/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/AuroraUpgrade/. The FindSources workflow can also discover and evaluate new channels for you.

Why does the upgrade report show no new updates?

The tool stores content hashes and commit SHAs in State/last-check.json and skips unchanged sources. Use the --force flag when running Anthropic.ts to bypass state comparison and re-report all current content.

What are the limitations of reflection mining?

Reflection mining requires an existing algorithm-reflections.jsonl file populated by prior Standard-or-higher algorithm runs. If no reflections exist yet, the workflow returns zero entries and the internal insights section stays empty.
