  • Understand the current CLI version checker workflow structure
  • Enhance the workflow to include deeper research summaries when updates are detected
  • Add instructions for detailed changelog analysis
  • Add instructions for comparing release notes between versions
  • Add instructions for highlighting security updates and breaking changes
  • Add instructions for creating comprehensive PR descriptions with impact analysis
  • Add research sources and methods documentation
  • Test the updated workflow structure
  • Run make recompile to update .lock.yml file
  • Verify all tests pass
  • Run final validation with make agent-finish (build, test, recompile, fmt)
  • Address PR feedback: use relative paths instead of absolute paths

Summary

Successfully enhanced the CLI version checker workflow (cli-version-checker.md) to perform comprehensive version analysis when updates are detected.

  • Categorized change tracking (breaking changes, features, bugs, security, performance)
  • Impact assessment on gh-aw workflows
  • Timeline analysis with release dates
  • Risk assessment (Low/Medium/High)

Enhanced for All CLIs:

  • Claude Code: NPM registry + GitHub repository analysis
  • GitHub Copilot CLI: Version tracking + MCP/model change analysis
  • OpenAI Codex: Version comparison + API compatibility checks
  • GitHub MCP Server: Tool change tracking + Docker image analysis

PR Description Template:

  • Comprehensive version progression documentation
  • Categorized changes breakdown

  • Complete references with comparison links

New Documentation:

  • Research sources and methods section
  • Enhanced guidelines (15 detailed rules)
  • Improved error handling
  • Best practices for version analysis

Recent Updates

  • Changed all file paths from absolute to relative paths for better portability

Statistics

  • File grew from ~249 to 523 lines (+110%)

Changed all file path references to use relative paths (./pkg/constants/constants.go) instead of absolute paths in commit 5e7d9c6.

Changed all file path references from absolute paths
(/home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw/pkg/constants/constants.go) to
relative paths (./pkg/constants/constants.go) as requested.

This makes the workflow more portable and cleaner.
