Tooling Update Review

Review recent Claude Code and VS Code releases, then cross-reference against the LEVI-Achaea project's tooling configuration to surface actionable improvements.

Step 1: Fetch Claude Code Updates

Gather Claude Code release notes from the last 14 days.

gh release list --repo anthropics/claude-code --limit 10

• For each release tagged within the last 14 days, fetch details via gh release view <TAG> --repo anthropics/claude-code
• Fallback: WebSearch for "Claude Code changelog" + WebFetch on results
• Extract: new features, new hooks, new settings, new tools, deprecations, breaking changes

Step 2: Fetch VS Code Updates

• WebFetch on https://code.visualstudio.com/updates
• gh release list --repo microsoft/vscode --limit 5 for exact dates
• Extract: new editor features, extension APIs, settings, terminal changes, Lua-relevant changes

Step 3: Snapshot Current Project Config

Read these files to understand current state:

1. .claude/settings.local.json — hooks, permissions
2. .vscode/settings.json — VS Code editor settings
3. .vscode/extensions.json — recommended extensions
4. CLAUDE.md — hooks, skills, conventions
5. List .claude/hooks/ — all hook scripts
6. List .claude/skills/ — all skill directories

Step 4: Cross-Reference Analysis

Launch 3 parallel agents (Sonnet):

Agent 1 — Claude Code Opportunities

Compare new features against .claude/ config. Check for: new hook events, settings, deprecations, plugin updates relevant to Lua development.

Agent 2 — VS Code Opportunities

Compare new features against .vscode/ config. Check for: Lua extension updates, debugging improvements, terminal changes, sumneko.lua changes.

Agent 3 — Integration Opportunities

Look for synergies between tools, CLAUDE.md documentation updates needed, workflow improvements.

Step 5: Report

## Claude Code Updates (last 14 days)
- [version]: [key changes]

## VS Code Updates (last 14 days)
- [version]: [key changes]

## Actionable Improvements

### HIGH — Direct workflow improvements
- [What] — [File(s)] — [Why]

### MEDIUM — Worth exploring
- [What] — [File(s)] — [Why]

### LOW — Minor tweaks
- [What] — [File(s)] — [Why]

## Deprecation Warnings

## No Action Needed
- [Feature] — [Why not applicable]

Important

• READ-ONLY analysis. Do not modify files.
• Focus on project-specific recommendations (Lua, Mudlet, combat system).
• Skip features that don't apply (C#, .NET, Python-specific).
