What it does

Changelog Generator is an agent skill from brunosabot/streamline-card. Generate an engaging, human-centric, and community-focused changelog from git history. Trigger this when the user asks for "what's new", "release notes", or "changelog". Inspired by the polished yet passionate styles of Streamline Card and Bubble Card.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 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 Home Assistant. The repository describes itself as: Streamline your Lovelace configuration with with a card template system. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • This when the user asks for whats new
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “release notes”
  • “changelog”
  • “/changelog-generator”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Analyze History: Read commits since the latest tag or between specific tags.
  2. Identify Themes: Group changes into "🚀 What's New for You" and "🔧 Technical Polish & Stability".
  3. Ask for Context: Ask the user for the "story" behind the release to include in the intro.
  4. Credit Contributors: Identify all contributors mentioned in PRs or commit messages. Exclude the project owner/maintainer (the user) from…
  5. Draft the Narrative: Write a two-paragraph intro that is sincere and incorporates the exact user context.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3a2667f. 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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Generator loads about 854 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 440 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~854

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.

Changelog Generator

Your goal is to transform a cold list of git commits into a warm, narrative-driven update. It must feel like a sincere letter from a developer who is passionate about their work.

Tone & Personality

  • Sincere & Grounded: Avoid kitschy or "customer service" greetings. Be direct and sincere about the project.
  • Strictly Factual Context: You MUST ask the user for personal context before finalizing the intro. Use their answer to make the intro more human. DO NOT hallucinate or assume things. Stick to the facts they provide.
  • Contextual Emojis: Emojis must match the content of the change (e.g., 🔢 or ⚖️ for booleans, ⚡ for performance, 🎨 for UI).

Steps

  1. Analyze History: Read commits since the latest tag or between specific tags.
  2. Identify Themes: Group changes into "🚀 What's New for You" and "🔧 Technical Polish & Stability".
  3. Ask for Context: Ask the user for the "story" behind the release to include in the intro.
  4. Credit Contributors: Identify all contributors mentioned in PRs or commit messages. Exclude the project owner/maintainer (the user) from this list.
  5. Draft the Narrative: Write a two-paragraph intro that is sincere and incorporates the exact user context.

Output Structure

  1. Greeting: Always start with exactly: "Hello there!"
  2. The Personal Update:
    • Paragraph 1: A sincere opening incorporating the exact context provided by the user. Keep details fatuals.
    • Paragraph 2: A summary of what this specific release aims to achieve.
  3. 🚀 What's New for You:
    • Use bullet points for features.
    • EMOJI PLACEMENT IS CRITICAL: The emoji MUST be placed at the very beginning of the bullet point, immediately after the dash. Example: - 🎨 **New UI**: ...
    • Use a diverse range of emojis that specifically represent the nature of the change.
  4. 🔧 Technical Polish & Stability:
    • MUST BE A CONCISE LIST: Use a bulleted list for these items.
    • SHORTER THAN FEATURES: This section MUST be noticeably shorter and less detailed than the "What's New for You" section.
    • Ruthlessly combine similar technical tasks into brief summaries. Do not provide paragraphs of technical detail.
    • No individual emojis for bullet points in this section.
    • Briefly explain why the work matters to a human.
  5. ❤️ Huge Thanks:
    • Contributor Recognition: Write a dedicated paragraph per contributor.
    • Exclude the Maintainer: NEVER include the project owner/maintainer in the thanks credits.
    • Bold Contributors: Bold all contributor names (e.g., "@user").
    • Mention specifically what they helped with to make it personal.

Formatting Guidelines

  • Intro Layout: Blank line after the greeting and between intro paragraphs.
  • Emoji Consistency:
    • User Features: Diverse range of content-matching emojis placed AT THE VERY BEGINNING of the line.
    • Technical: No emojis for bullet points. Keep it strictly shorter than the User Features section.
    • Section Headers: 🚀 for User Features, 🔧 for Tech.
