What’s new
- The Claude Code update check now runs daily without opt-in, and its request carries an anonymous usage ping: a locally generated random install ID and the plugin version. No project content, studio records or other identifiers are sent.
- Turn the ping off with AS_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1, and the update check with AS_UPDATE_CHECK_DISABLED=1 or /as:studio updates disable. The Codex package installs no lifecycle hook and sends neither.
- Skill Maker verification: a generated skill must show an observed fresh read of the studio policy and a separate observed read of the destination after publication. A claimed read, or a prepared file compared with itself, no longer counts as verification. This is the only change to skill text.
- No skill, agent role or reference was added, removed or renamed. The catalog stays at 61 skills in 9 practice areas and 86 references.
- The release procedure and the documentation of hosted surfaces are updated: docs/release-delivery.md, docs/data-governance.md, and the new docs/module-record-routing.md and docs/server-json-tools.md.
02
Known limitations
- This replaces the earlier promise that the update check is off by default. The plugin still uploads no studio, project or module records.
03
Upgrade and migration
- No migration is required. Existing skills, schemas and record kinds are unchanged.
- To keep the update check or the usage ping off, set AS_UPDATE_CHECK_DISABLED=1 or AS_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1.
