What it does

Changelog is an agent skill from bonny/WordPress-Simple-History. Adds changelog entries to readme.txt following keepachangelog format. Use when updating the Unreleased section or documenting changes for a release.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k 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. The repository describes itself as: 🔍🕵️♀️ WordPress audit log that track user changes in WordPress admin using a nice activity feed.

When your agent uses it

  • Updating the Unreleased section
  • Documenting changes for a release

Example prompts

  • “/changelog”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Edit

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Ask user for the change description (if not provided)
  2. Determine category: Added, Changed, Fixed, Deprecated, Removed, Security
  3. Add entry under ## Changelog → ### Unreleased
  4. Confirm with user

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 24f337f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • docker

    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
    • github.com
    • developer.wordpress.org

    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 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,060 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,060 words (~2,854 tokens).

“Add entries to the Simple History plugin's readme.txt changelog.”
