What it does

Create Changelog is an agent skill from baserow/baserow. Generate a changelog entry for the current Git branch by inspecting changed files, classifying the domain and type, writing a short public-friendly message, and running just changelog add after the user confirms. Use this skill whenever the user asks to "create a changelog", "add a changelog entry", "changelog this branch", "write changelog", or otherwise signals they want to record what their branch changes — even if they don't mention just or the exact command.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 and Git workflow. It works with Airtable. The repository describes itself as: Build databases, automations, apps & agents with AI — no code. Open source platform available on cloud and self-hosted. GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2 compliant. Best Airtable alternative.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create a changelog
  • Add a changelog entry
  • Changelog this branch
  • Write changelog

Example prompts

  • “create a changelog”
  • “add a changelog entry”
  • “changelog this branch”
  • “/create-changelog”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather the diff
  2. Pick the domain
  3. Pick the type
  4. Write the message
  5. Show the proposal and get confirmation
  6. Execute

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b510613. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • just

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Create Changelog loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 804 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~122
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 804 words (~1,570 tokens).
