from claude_updater.adapters.base import ToolAdapter

class MyToolAdapter(ToolAdapter):
    @property
    def name(self) -> str:
        return "My Tool"

    @property
    def key(self) -> str:
        return "my_tool"

    def get_installed_version(self) -> str:
        # Return currently installed version
        ...

    def get_latest_version(self) -> str:
        # Return latest available version
        ...

    def get_changelog_delta(self, from_ver: str, to_ver: str) -> str:
        # Return changelog text between versions
        ...

    def apply_update(self) -> bool:
        # Apply the update, return True on success
        ...

Then register it in adapters/__init__.py:

ADAPTER_REGISTRY["my_tool"] = MyToolAdapter
