Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# What's New Generator Generate a complete "What's New" screen that displays after app updates — highlights new features, changes, and improvements with version tracking to ensure it only shows once per update. ## When This Skill Activates Use this skill when the user: - Asks to "add a what's new screen" or "show what's new" - Mentions "changelog" or "changelog UI" - Wants an "app update screen" or "update notification" - Asks about "new features screen" or "feature announcements" - Mentions "release notes UI" or "release notes screen" - Wants a "version update notification" or "post-update screen" ## Pre-Generation Checks ### 1.

Conflict Detection Search for existing what's new or changelog implementations: ``` Glob: **/*WhatsNew*.swift, **/*Changelog*.swift, **/*ReleaseNotes*.swift, **/*VersionTracker*.swift Grep: "WhatsNew" or "whatsNew" or "last

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills --skill whats-new --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From rshankras/claude-code-apple-skills, a repository with 589 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
