Check SDK Updates
Compare the versions of @anthropic-ai/claude-code, @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk, and @openai/codex-sdk declared in package.json against the latest published version on npm.
Steps
- Read the
dependenciesblock ofpackage.jsonand extract the current declared range for each of: @anthropic-ai/claude-code@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk-
@openai/codex-sdk -
Run the following command (single Bash call) to fetch latest versions in parallel:
bash npm view @anthropic-ai/claude-code version & \ npm view @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk version & \ npm view @openai/codex-sdk version & \ waitMap the three lines of output back to the three packages in the order requested. -
For each package, compare the declared version (strip leading
^/~) with the latest. Report a compact table:
