# Cowork Prompt Tracker
Extracts the Claude Cowork system prompt from local session files, commits it to the `claude-prompts` repo, and maintains a changelog with diff summaries.
## What this skill does
1. Finds the most recent Cowork session file and extracts the `systemPrompt` field
2. Detects the Cowork plugin version (from `cowork-plugin-management` in the session's plugin cache)
3. Hashes the prompt to check if it changed since the last commit
4. Writes `cowork/system-prompt.md` to the repo with metadata header
5. Commits it with a descriptive message
6. Reads the diff and writes a changelog entry to `cowork/CHANGELOG.md`
## Session file locations
- **macOS:** `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/local-agent-mode-sessions/{uuid}/{uuid}/local_{uuid}.json`
- **Windows:** `~\AppData\Local\Packages\Claude_pzs8sxrjxfjjc\LocalCache\Roaming\Claude\local-agent-mode-sessions\{uuid}\{uuid}\local_{uuid}.json`
The script handles macOS automatically. For Windows, the user will need to run it in WSL or adapt the path.
## Step-by-step workflow
### Step 0: Check for app updates (automatic)
The script checks `brew info --cask claude` and upgrades the Claude app if a newer version is available before doing anything else. The result is included in the JSON output under `"upgrade"`:
```json
{ "upgraded": true, "from": "1.1.7464", "to": "1.2.0000" }
```
Pass `--no-upgrade` to skip the brew check (e.g., if not on macOS or brew isn't set up).
### Step 1: Run the extraction script
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/cowork-prompt-tracker/scripts/extract_prompt.py \
--repo ~/github/claude-prompts
```
The script outputs JSON. Parse it to get `status`, `full_diff`, `diff_added`, `diff_removed`, `model`, `cowork_version`, `commit_hash`, `previous_hash`, `prompt_hash`, and `upgrade`.
If `status == "no_change"`: tell the user nothing changed and show the current hash.
If `status == "error"`: show the error message and stop.
If `status == "updated"`: proceed to Step 2.
### Step 2: Read and summarize the diff
Read `full_diff` from the JSON output. Produce a human-readable summary of what changed:
- New sections added
- Sections removed or renamed
- Modified instructions (tone changes, new rules, updated tool references)
- Model name changes
- Version bumps
Be specific — "the `<computer_use>` section added a new paragraph about X" is more useful than "some text changed". If there's no previous version (first commit), describe the structure of the prompt instead.
### Step 3: Update the changelog
Append a new entry to `cowork/CHANGELOG.md` (create the file if it doesn't exist, with a `# Changelog` header). Entries go at the top, newest first.
Use this format:
```markdown
## {date} — {version_label} (model: {model})
**Commit:** `{commit_hash}`
**Changes:** +{added} lines, -{removed} lines
**Prompt hash:** `{prompt_hash}` (was: `{previous_hash}`)
### Summary
{your diff summary in prose — 2–5 sentences}
### Key changes
- {specific change 1}
- {specific change 2}
- ...
---
```
Where `{version_label}` is `v{cowork_version}` if available, else just `{model}`.
If this is the **first entry** (no previous hash), write:
```markdown
## {date} — {version_label} — Initial capture
**Commit:** `{commit_hash}`
**Prompt hash:** `{prompt_hash}`
### Summary
First capture of the Cowork system prompt. {brief structural description}

### Step 4: Commit the changelog
```bash
git -C ~/github/claude-prompts add cowork/CHANGELOG.md
git -C ~/github/claude-prompts commit -m "docs(cowork): update Leer la fuente completa en GitHub (abre una página externa)
