Patches

Every cx patch is a pure AST transform against the Claude Code bundle. Patches are opt-in and toggleable via cx-setup. The table below lists all available patches, their default state, and which versions of @anthropic-ai/claude-code they work against.

Compatibility

A GitHub Actions workflow runs every morning. It fetches the newest @anthropic-ai/claude-code from npm and applies every patch against it in isolation — one failure never masks another. If any patch breaks, the run opens or updates a tracking issue in magidandrew/cx listing the broken patches. When everything is green again, the issue auto-closes.

How to read the Compatible column

• * — the patch uses a single AST strategy that works on every Claude Code version it has been tried against. Nothing is version-gated.
• >=X.Y.Z, <X.Y.Z, etc. — the patch declares per-version variants and the transform picks the right one at patch-time. Multiple ranges mean multiple variants are bundled.

If you're running a CC version older than what's listed and a patch throws no variant matches, that's your cue to either upgrade CC or open an issue — the daily workflow only tests forward.
