At a glance

Invoke before committing user-facing changes (new features, bug fixes, behavior changes) to update CHANGELOG.md.

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • SKILL.md covers Format, Line length, Section structure and Entry style, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Debugging

What it does

Changelog is an agent skill from aviatesk/JETLS.jl. Invoke before committing user-facing changes (new features, bug fixes, behavior changes) to update CHANGELOG.md. Skip for internal refactors, CI, docs-only, or minor dependency bumps.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes, Debugging and Refactoring. The repository describes itself as: A new language server for Julia, enabling modern, compiler-powered tooling. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve Debugging
  • Tasks that involve Refactoring

Example prompts

  • “/changelog”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c180fb1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • keepachangelog.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Changelog loads about 490 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~490

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Updating CHANGELOG.md

Format

This project follows Keep a Changelog.

Line length

CHANGELOG.md is exempt from the 80-character Markdown line length rule because it is used for GitHub release notes, where hard line breaks disrupt rendering.

That said, do not put everything on a single line unconditionally. Break lines at natural points (sentence boundaries, after colons, etc.) when an entry is long enough to benefit from it. Short, single-sentence entries are fine as one line.

Section structure

New entries go under the ## Unreleased section. Use the following subsections as needed (in this order):

  • ### Announcement -- important notices (always first if present)
  • ### Added -- new features
  • ### Changed -- changes to existing functionality
  • ### Fixed -- bug fixes

Entry style

  • Start Added entries with "Added ..." and Fixed entries with "Fixed ...".
  • Changed entries typically start with the component name (e.g. "lowering/undef-local-var now ...").
  • When closing a GitHub issue, append (Closed https://github.com/aviatesk/JETLS.jl/issues/NNN).
  • Use backticks for diagnostic names, function names, and code elements.

Entry content

Write entries from the user's perspective. Describe what changed in terms of user-visible behavior — not implementation details.

  • Don't include internal mechanisms (AST node types, specific JuliaLowering/JuliaSyntax internals, traversal strategies) unless a user could reasonably observe or interact with them.
  • The "why" of a fix rarely matters to users; the "what" of the new behavior does. If the prior behavior is worth mentioning, describe its user-visible symptom, not its cause.

What does Changelog do?

Invoke before committing user-facing changes (new features, bug fixes, behavior changes) to update CHANGELOG.md. jl.md.

When should I use Changelog?

Changelog fits situations like: tasks that involve Changelog and release notes; tasks that involve Debugging; tasks that involve Refactoring.

How do I install Changelog in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add aviatesk/JETLS.jl --skill changelog -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/changelog in aviatesk/JETLS.jl) into .claude/skills/changelog in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Changelog in Codex?

Run `npx skills add aviatesk/JETLS.jl --skill changelog -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/changelog in aviatesk/JETLS.jl) into .agents/skills/changelog in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Changelog in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aviatesk/JETLS.jl --skill changelog -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/changelog, .gemini/skills/changelog, .github/skills/changelog and .opencode/skills/changelog in your project.

What does Changelog need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Changelog is instructions for the agent only.

Does Changelog access the network?

SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: keepachangelog.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Changelog is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Changelog use?

About 490 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
