* feat(shared): add plugin support to shared directories
Add Claude Code plugins to the .ccs/shared/ symlink architecture,
enabling plugin sharing across all CCS profiles (GLM, GLMT, Kimi, etc).
Changes:
- SharedManager: Add 'plugins' to sharedDirs array
- Help text: Update all three implementations (Node.js, bash, PowerShell)
- Postinstall: Create ~/.ccs/shared/plugins/ directory on install
Architecture:
~/.claude/plugins/ <- ~/.ccs/shared/plugins/ <- instance/plugins/
This follows the existing pattern for commands/skills/agents and
maintains cross-platform compatibility with Windows fallback support.

- Add ora spinners for real-time progress feedback
- Add cli-table3 for structured health check summary table
- Display detailed component information in doctor report
- Show file/directory counts during sync operations
- Improve visual hierarchy and readability
- Fix Unicode checkmark violation (replaced with [OK])
Breaking changes: None
Dependencies added: ora@^5.4.1, cli-table3@^0.6.5

* fix: match doctor summary header width to table width
* feat: improve settings validation to check API keys, not just endpoints
- Check if API keys are configured or still placeholders
- Show 'Key configured' vs 'Placeholder key (not configured)'
- Previous message 'Valid (API: api.z.ai)' was misleading
- Now users can clearly see which profiles need API key configuration
- Warnings shown for placeholder keys (yellow [!])

- Group checks into logical categories: System, Configuration, Profiles & Delegation, System Health
- Add consistent padding (26 chars) for aligned columns
- Add 2-space indent for better visual hierarchy
- Separate categories with blank lines for better readability
- Much cleaner and easier to scan than before
* fix: perfect alignment for all doctor check output

- Now all status icons [OK]/[X]/[!]/[i] align perfectly
- All component names pad to exactly 26 characters
Add comprehensive update functionality with intelligent notification system.
Supports manual update checking, automatic notifications every 24h, and works
across npm and direct installations with proper error handling.
Closes#12
* feat: add -sc short flag for --shell-completion
Add -sc as a short flag alias for --shell-completion,
matching the pattern of -h for --help and -v for --version.
Changes:
- bin/ccs.js: Add -sc support in help text and flag detection
- lib/ccs: Add -sc support in help text and flag detection
- lib/ccs.ps1: Add -sc support in help text and flag detection
* chore: bump version to 4.1.4
* chore: bump version to 4.1.5
* feat: emphasize concurrent account usage in auth help text
Update all auth-related help messages to emphasize the ability
to run multiple Claude accounts concurrently.
Changes:
- bin/ccs.js: "Run multiple Claude accounts concurrently"
- bin/auth/auth-commands.js: "CCS Concurrent Account Management"
- lib/ccs: Updated both main help and auth_help function
- lib/ccs.ps1: Updated both main help and Show-AuthHelp function
* feat: implement ccs update command across all platforms
Add cross-platform ccs update command to sync delegation commands
and skills from ~/.ccs/.claude/ to ~/.claude/. Replaces vague
"CCS items" wording with specific "delegation commands and skills".
Changes:
- bin/ccs.js: Add update command handler and update help text
- bin/utils/claude-symlink-manager.js: Update user-facing messages
- lib/ccs: Implement update_run() function with symlink logic
- lib/ccs.ps1: Implement Update-Run function with Junction/SymbolicLink support
Features:
- Automatically backs up existing files before symlinking
- Skips items that are already correctly symlinked
- Reports installed vs up-to-date counts
- Handles Windows permissions gracefully (suggests Admin/Developer Mode)
Cross-platform parity: bash, PowerShell, and Node.js now all support ccs update
* refactor: rename ccs update to ccs sync for clarity
Rename the update command to sync across all platforms to avoid
confusion with updating the CCS tool itself. The sync command
clearly communicates syncing delegation features from the CCS
package to ~/.claude/.
Changes:
- bin/ccs.js: Rename handleUpdateCommand → handleSyncCommand
- bin/utils/claude-symlink-manager.js: Rename update() → sync()
- lib/ccs: Rename update_run() → sync_run()
- lib/ccs.ps1: Rename Update-Run → Sync-Run
- All: Update help text "update" → "sync"
- All: Update messages "Updating" → "Syncing"
Command usage: ccs sync or ccs --sync
* fix: update GitHub documentation links to stable permalink
Update broken #usage anchor links to stable /blob/main/README.md
permalink format. This matches the format already used in PowerShell
version and ensures links always work.
Changes:
- bin/ccs.js: Update link from #usage to /blob/main/README.md
- lib/ccs: Update link from #usage to /blob/main/README.md
- Now consistent with lib/ccs.ps1 which already used this format
Old: https://github.com/kaitranntt/ccs#usage
New: https://github.com/kaitranntt/ccs/blob/main/README.md
* feat: add sync command and -sc flag to shell completions
Update all shell completion scripts to include the newly added
sync command and -sc short flag for --shell-completion.
Changes across all completion scripts (bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell):
- Add 'sync' command to completion suggestions
- Add '-sc' as short flag for '--shell-completion'
- Update fish to handle both -sc and --shell-completion for subflags
- Update PowerShell to recognize -sc for shell completion flags
- Add sync command description: "Sync delegation commands and skills"
This ensures tab completion discovers the sync command and users
can use both -sc and --shell-completion interchangeably.
* fix: standardize help text across all implementations
Fix inconsistencies in help text that appeared after merge from main.
Ensures all three implementations (bash, PowerShell, Node.js) display
identical help messages.
Changes:
- lib/ccs: Update "Delegation (Token Optimization)" → "Delegation (inside Claude Code CLI)"
- lib/ccs: Remove redundant /ccs:create line, simplify description
- lib/ccs.ps1: Add missing Delegation section
- All: Now use consistent messaging about delegation features
This ensures users see the same information regardless of which
platform they're using (Linux/macOS bash, Windows PowerShell, or npm).
* fix: update description text to emphasize concurrent sessions
Update outdated description in lib/ccs and lib/ccs.ps1 to match
the improved wording already in bin/ccs.js. The new description
better emphasizes running concurrent Claude CLI sessions.
Changes:
- lib/ccs: Update description to emphasize "Run different Claude CLI sessions concurrently"
- lib/ccs.ps1: Update description to match bash and Node.js versions
- Remove "(work, personal, team)" examples to keep description cleaner
- Emphasize "Run different Claude CLI sessions concurrently" over vague "Concurrent sessions"
Old: "Switch between multiple Claude accounts (work, personal, team) and
alternative models (GLM, Kimi) instantly. Concurrent sessions with
auto-recovery. Zero downtime."
New: "Switch between multiple Claude accounts and alternative models
(GLM, Kimi) instantly. Run different Claude CLI sessions concurrently
with auto-recovery. Zero downtime."
All three implementations now show identical, clearer description text.
* feat(cli): enhance version display formatting and delegation status
---------
* fix(shell-completion): resolve ENOTDIR error when parent path is a file
Fixes issue where `--shell-completion` fails with ENOTDIR error when
a file exists where a directory should be created (e.g., ~/.zsh exists
as a file instead of a directory).
Changes:
- Added ensureDirectory() helper that safely creates directories
- Validates parent paths are directories, not files
- Provides clear error message when file conflicts occur
- Applied to all shell installers (bash, zsh, fish, powershell)
- Maintains idempotent behavior (safe to call multiple times)
Before: mkdir with recursive:true fails silently with ENOTDIR
After: Clear error message guides user to resolve file conflict
* chore: bump version to 4.1.4
* feat(completion): improve UI/UX with descriptions and grouping
Improves shell completion UI/UX across all shells (bash, zsh, fish,
PowerShell) with better organization and clearer descriptions.
Changes:
- Zsh: Added descriptions for all profiles and grouped by category
- Commands: "auth", "doctor" with descriptions
- Model profiles: glm, glmt, kimi, etc. with descriptions
- Account profiles: Dynamic with "Account-based profile" label
- Used _alternative for visual grouping
- Fish: Added explicit completions with descriptions for known profiles
- Replaced generic profile listing with specific entries
- Each profile now shows clear description (e.g., "GLM-4.6 (cost-optimized)")
- Bash: Added --shell-completion flag and subflags completion
- PowerShell: Added --shell-completion flag and subflags completion
- All shells: Added completion for --shell-completion subflags
Before (zsh):
ccs
auth -- Manage multiple Claude accounts
doctor -- Run health check and diagnostics
default glm glmt kimi max
After (zsh):
commands
auth -- Manage multiple Claude accounts
doctor -- Run health check and diagnostics
model profiles
default -- Default Claude Sonnet 4.5
glm -- GLM-4.6 (cost-optimized)
glmt -- GLM-4.6 with thinking mode
kimi -- Kimi for Coding (long-context)
max -- Claude Opus (maximum capability)
account profiles
work -- Account-based profile
personal -- Account-based profile
Consistent, organized, and informative completion across all shells.
* fix(completion): handle custom profiles and fix zsh syntax errors
Fixes two issues:
1. Zsh syntax errors with _describe -t flag in _alternative
2. Adds general handling for custom settings profiles (e.g., m2)
Changes:
- Zsh: Fixed _alternative syntax (removed -t tag from _describe calls)
- Error was: "_describe:21: bad option: -M"
- Cause: Tag is auto-derived in _alternative, don't specify with -t
- Fish: Added __fish_ccs_get_custom_settings_profiles function
- Dynamically loads non-hardcoded profiles from config.json
- Shows "Settings-based profile" description for custom profiles
- Removed 'max' from hardcoded known profiles
- 'max' is user's account-based profile, not a default setting
Now supports any custom settings profile (e.g., m2.settings.json for
Minimax M2) without hardcoding. Custom profiles show with generic
"Settings-based profile" description.
Installation properly overwrites:
- fs.copyFileSync overwrites completion files by default
- RC files only modified if marker not already present
* fix(zsh): simplify completion to avoid _alternative syntax issues
Replaced _alternative with multiple _describe calls to fix persistent
zsh completion errors.
The _alternative approach was causing:
- '_describe:21: bad option: -M'
- '(eval):1: bad substitution'
- Unwanted variable expansion in completion menu
New approach uses sequential _describe calls which zsh handles correctly.
Simpler, more reliable, and still shows grouped completion with
descriptions.
Before: _alternative with complex nested _describe calls (broken)
After: Three simple _describe calls (works correctly)
* feat(zsh): add colors and improved formatting to completion
Enhances zsh completion UI/UX with colors and better spacing:
Colors:
- Blue: commands (auth, doctor)
- Green: model profiles (default, glm, glmt, kimi, custom)
- Yellow: account profiles
- Gray: descriptions
Formatting:
- Wider separator ( -- ) for better readability
- Group headers in bold cyan
- Menu selection enabled for navigation
- list-rows-first for better column layout
Before:
auth -- Manage multiple Claude accounts
default -- Default Claude Sonnet 4.5
doctor -- Run health check and diagnostics
glm -- GLM-4.6 (cost-optimized)
After:
commands (cyan header)
auth -- Manage multiple Claude accounts (blue)
doctor -- Run health check and diagnostics (blue)
model profiles (cyan header)
default -- Default Claude Sonnet 4.5 (green)
glm -- GLM-4.6 (cost-optimized) (green)
glmt -- GLM-4.6 with thinking mode (green)
kimi -- Kimi for Coding (long-context) (green)
account profiles (cyan header)
max -- Account-based profile (yellow)
Table-like appearance with colors matching --help output style.
* feat(fish): add colors to completion descriptions
Adds color-coded descriptions to Fish completion matching zsh style:
Colors:
- Blue: commands (auth, doctor)
- Green: model profiles (default, glm, glmt, kimi, custom)
- Yellow: account profiles
Fish has excellent native color support via set_color, making this
straightforward to implement.
Before:
auth Manage multiple Claude accounts
default Default Claude Sonnet 4.5
glm GLM-4.6 (cost-optimized)
max Account profile
After:
auth Manage multiple Claude accounts (blue)
default Default Claude Sonnet 4.5 (green)
glm GLM-4.6 (cost-optimized) (green)
max Account profile (yellow)
Consistent color scheme across zsh and fish shells.
* fix(zsh): correct color application for commands vs descriptions
Fixed color codes being applied backwards - commands were gray while
descriptions were colorful.
Issue:
- Used '1;34' format which zsh misinterpreted
- Commands appeared gray (unreadable)
- Descriptions appeared in color
Fix:
- Simplified color codes from '1;34' to '34' (just the color, no style prefix)
- Pattern now: =(#b)(command)(-- description)=34=90
- First group (command): color 34 (blue/green/yellow)
- Second group (description): color 90 (gray)
Before:
auth -- Manage multiple Claude accounts (gray) (blue)
After:
auth -- Manage multiple Claude accounts (blue) (gray)
Commands now properly colored, descriptions muted.
* feat(zsh): improve section header visibility with separators
Makes section headers more distinct and recognizable as dividers:
Before:
commands
auth -- ...
After:
── commands ──
auth -- ...
Changes:
- Added blank line before headers ($'\n')
- Bold yellow with decorative separators (── text ──)
- Clearly distinguishes section headers from actual commands
Now it's obvious that 'commands', 'model profiles', and 'account
profiles' are just section labels, not completable items.
* fix(zsh): use full ANSI color codes to fix reversed colors
The issue was using shorthand color codes (34, 90) instead of full
ANSI format (0;34, 2;37). Zsh was misinterpreting the shorthand,
causing colors to be applied to wrong groups.
Fixed:
- Commands: 0;34 (normal blue) - was appearing gray
- Model profiles: 0;32 (normal green) - was appearing gray
- Account profiles: 0;33 (normal yellow) - was appearing gray
- Descriptions: 2;37 (dim white) - was appearing colorful
Color codes must be escaped as 0\;34 in zsh strings.
Before fix:
auth (gray) -- description (blue)
After fix:
auth (blue) -- description (dim gray)
* fix(zsh): swap color order for completion groups
Zsh may apply colors in reverse order to capture groups on some systems.
Swapped color order: group 2 first, then group 1.
Pattern: (command)(separator + description)
Was: =blue=dim_white (applied as: blue to cmd, dim to desc)
Now: =dim_white=blue (applied as: dim to desc, blue to cmd)
Testing if this resolves the reversed color issue.
* fix(zsh): add empty leading color to fix reversed coloring
ROOT CAUSE: Zsh list-colors apply first color to WHOLE match, then
override with subsequent colors for each group. Without an empty
leading color, the whole match color leaks to groups without overrides.
Pattern behavior:
=(#b)(cmd)(desc)=BLUE=DIM
→ Whole: BLUE, Group1: DIM (override), Group2: BLUE (no override)
→ Result: cmd=dim, desc=BLUE (REVERSED!)
=(#b)(cmd)(desc)==BLUE=DIM
→ Whole: none, Group1: BLUE, Group2: DIM
→ Result: cmd=BLUE, desc=dim (CORRECT!)
The '==' at start means 'no whole-match color', preventing color bleed.
Now commands will be colorful (blue/green/yellow) and descriptions dim.
* refactor(help): remove specific account examples and generalize description
Removed deterministic account examples (work, personal, team) to make
the help text more generic and less prescriptive.
Changes:
- Removed 'ccs work' and 'ccs personal' example lines
- Removed 'Multi-account workflow' examples section
- Updated description from 'multiple Claude accounts (work, personal, team)'
to 'multiple Claude accounts and alternative models'
- Changed to 'Run different Claude CLI sessions concurrently'
- Applied consistently across Node.js (bin/ccs.js), bash (lib/ccs),
and PowerShell (lib/ccs.ps1)
This makes the help text more flexible and doesn't imply specific
use cases or account naming conventions.
* refactor(help): clarify delegation section and remove non-existent command
Updated delegation section in help text across all implementations:
Changes:
- Renamed section from 'Delegation (Token Optimization)' to
'Delegation (inside Claude Code CLI)' to clarify context
- Removed non-existent '/ccs:create m2' command
- Simplified description to focus on cost savings
- Updated command descriptions:
- '/ccs:glm' now 'for simple tasks' (clearer use case)
- '/ccs:kimi' unchanged (already clear)
- Added delegation section to PowerShell help (was missing)
- Consistent messaging across Node.js, bash, and PowerShell
The new section makes it immediately clear that delegation commands
are used within Claude Code CLI sessions, not as standalone commands.
---------
The 'ccs doctor' command was incorrectly checking for delegation commands
in ~/.ccs/shared/commands/ccs/ instead of ~/.ccs/.claude/commands/ccs/,
causing false "not installed" warnings even after successful installation.
Changes:
- Fix delegation check to look in correct directory (~/.ccs/.claude/)
- Remove check for non-existent create.md file
- Bump version to 4.1.3
Fixes issue where npm install -g or ccs update would fail to copy
.claude/ directory to ~/.ccs/.claude/, causing symlink installation
errors. ClaudeDirInstaller now ensures source exists before
ClaudeSymlinkManager attempts linking.
Add defensive checks in result-formatter, headless-executor, and session-manager
to prevent TypeError when delegated sessions timeout without emitting a result.
Includes 4 comprehensive unit tests for undefined/null totalCost scenarios.
Fixes formatting error that prevented timeout messages from displaying.
- Add GLMT proxy server for GLM model routing
- Add GLMT transformer for output format conversion
- Update CLI with new proxy and transformer commands
- Add comprehensive test suite for new functionality
- Update documentation and architecture guides
- Bump version and update changelog
Fixed:
- Migration now runs during installation across all methods (npm, bash, PowerShell)
- Guarantees ~/.ccs/shared/ populated immediately with ~/.claude/ content
- Users no longer need to run ccs command to trigger migration
Changed:
- Refactored SharedManager with _needsMigration() and _performMigration() methods
- _copyDirectory() returns {copied, skipped} stats and preserves existing files
- Shows detailed migration output: '[OK] Migrated 5 commands, 19 skills'
- Removed lazy migration from bin/ccs.js, lib/ccs, lib/ccs.ps1
Implementation:
- npm: Migration in scripts/postinstall.js
- bash: Migration in installers/install.sh (migrate_shared_data function)
- PowerShell: Migration in installers/install.ps1 (Invoke-SharedDataMigration)
- Fixed arithmetic expansion with set -e (changed ((var++)) to var=$((var + 1)))
Cross-platform parity maintained across all installation methods.
Phase 1: Multi-profile shared data via symlinks
Added:
- SharedManager class for symlink orchestration (bin/shared-manager.js)
- Auto-migration from ~/.claude/ to ~/.ccs/shared/ on first run
- Shared directories: commands/, skills/, agents/
- Windows fallback: copies dirs if symlinks fail
Fixed:
- Migration logic now detects empty directories
- Previously skipped migration when postinstall created empty dirs
- Now properly copies from ~/.claude/ when shared dirs are empty
Changed:
- Instance initialization symlinks to shared dirs instead of copying
- Postinstall creates ~/.ccs/shared/ structure automatically
- All implementations (Node.js, bash, PowerShell) updated for consistency
- Help text includes agents/ in shared data section
Technical:
- Profile-specific data remains isolated (settings, sessions, todolists, logs)
- Migration is idempotent: safe to run multiple times
- Cross-platform symlink support with graceful fallback
Closes#4
This release fixes default profile behavior and streamlines help output.
Breaking Changes:
- Profile creation NO LONGER auto-sets as default
- Users must explicitly run `ccs auth default <profile>` to set default
- Without explicit default, `ccs` uses implicit default from ~/.claude/
Auth Default Behavior:
- Removed auto-set default logic in profile-registry.js
- Removed auto-set default in bash register_profile() function
- Removed auto-set default in PowerShell Register-Profile function
- Implicit 'default' profile always exists (uses ~/.claude/)
- Enhanced success messages guide users to set explicit default
- Updated auth help with examples and note about default behavior
Help Text Simplification:
- Removed lengthy Examples section from main help (~40% shorter)
- Condensed Account Management section to `ccs auth --help`
- Kept detailed examples in `ccs auth --help` where relevant
- Consistent across npm, bash, and PowerShell implementations
Files Changed:
- bin/profile-registry.js: Removed auto-default logic
- bin/auth-commands.js: Updated help and success messages
- bin/ccs.js: Simplified main help text
- lib/ccs: Fixed bash implementation + simplified help
- lib/ccs.ps1: Fixed PowerShell implementation + simplified help
- VERSION, package.json, installers/*: Version bump to 3.0.2
Fixes #TBD
- Add auto-recovery mechanisms for missing/corrupted configuration files
- Implement comprehensive health check command (`ccs doctor`)
- Enhance error messages with context-aware diagnostics and recovery commands
- Fix silent postinstall failures - now exits with proper error codes
- Add RecoveryManager class for automatic config restoration
- Add ErrorManager class for structured, helpful error messages
- Update postinstall script to validate created files and auto-create ~/.claude/settings.json
- Add doctor command support to bash and npm implementations
- Implement atomic file operations to prevent corruption
- Add comprehensive testing scenarios and validation
Fixes critical issue where npm install succeeded but CCS failed on first run.
Enhances user experience with automatic recovery and clear error guidance.
BREAKING CHANGE: Postinstall now exits with error code 1 on critical failures
- Add kimi profile support alongside existing glm and default profiles
- Create base-kimi.settings.json configuration template
- Update all installation methods (npm, Unix, Windows) to auto-create Kimi settings
- Enhance documentation with Kimi examples and API setup instructions
- Update version to 2.5.0 with comprehensive changelog
- Add Kimi detection logic in install scripts for seamless migration
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing GLM and Claude profiles
Use string concatenation (not args array) when shell is needed to avoid
Node.js DEP0190 deprecation warning. Restores previous working approach
with conditional shell usage based on file extension.
Key changes:
- Added escapeShellArg() helper for proper argument escaping
- Conditional shell: only for .cmd/.bat/.ps1 files on Windows
- When shell needed: concatenate args into single escaped string
- When no shell: use array form (faster, no overhead)
Benefits:
- No deprecation warning
- Proper security (escaped arguments)
- Better performance (no shell on Unix or for .exe files)
- Matches previous stable implementation
Version: 2.4.9
Use platform-specific shell option (Windows only) instead of shell: true
to avoid deprecation warning in Node.js v22.9.0+.
Changes:
- bin/ccs.js: Change shell: true to shell: process.platform === 'win32'
- CHANGELOG.md: Document fix for v2.4.8
- VERSION: Bump to 2.4.8
- package.json: Bump to 2.4.8
Benefits:
- No deprecation warning on Windows
- Better performance on Unix (no shell overhead)
- Maintains Windows .cmd/.bat compatibility
- fix color detection for cross-platform TTY compatibility
- enhance help command with npm-specific content and npx examples
- remove --install/--uninstall flags pending .claude/ integration testing
- update version across all files and documentation
- preserve implementation code for future release readiness
CRITICAL fix for Windows npm global installation unable to find Claude CLI in PATH,
particularly affecting SSH sessions. Native installation always worked.
Root Causes Identified:
1. Node.js spawn() doesn't use Windows PATHEXT variable
2. where.exe returns no-extension file first, but spawn() needs actual .cmd wrapper
3. .cmd files require shell: true to execute (batch scripts, not binaries)
Solutions Implemented:
1. Pre-resolve absolute path using where.exe/which before spawning
2. Prefer executables with extensions (.exe, .cmd, .bat) on Windows
3. Auto-detect .cmd/.bat/.ps1 files and use shell: true for execution
Changes:
- bin/claude-detector.js: Added execSync PATH resolution with extension preference
- bin/ccs.js: Added null checks + getSpawnOptions() helper for shell: true
- CHANGELOG.md: Comprehensive documentation of Windows-specific fixes
Security:
- Commands are hardcoded literals (no injection risk)
- 5-second timeout on execSync prevents hangs
- shell: true only used for verified .cmd files
- Documented security considerations
Testing:
- ✅ Linux: All tests pass, no regressions
- ✅ Windows SSH (i9-bootcamp): Verified fix resolves EINVAL and PATH errors
Impact: Windows npm users can now use CCS in SSH sessions with npm-installed Claude CLI
Fixes: #windows-npm-path-detection
