Feature Request: Add `/whats-new` slash command
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jul 29, 2025 by hemanth Closed Jul 30, 2025
Summary
Add a /whats-new or maybe /changelog slash command that provides users with the latest updates, features, and announcements for Claude Code.
Problem
Currently, users have no easy way to discover what's new in Claude Code directly from the CLI. Users need to manually check documentation, GitHub releases, or other sources to stay updated on new features and improvements.
Proposed Solution
Implement a /whats-new or /changelog slash command that:
- Shows recent version updates and release notes
- Highlights new features and capabilities
- Displays important announcements or changes
- Provides links to detailed documentation for new features
- Could optionally show updates from the last N versions or last N days
Example Usage
claude
> /whats-new
Expected output might include:

• Improved error handling for git operations
