  • Works in 2 steps: Command menu — pass the app's own… → Settings (optional) — drop the card on…
  • You ship a change a user would notice (a new feature
  • SKILL.md covers When to add an entry, How to add an entry, Writing good entries and Releasing, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls pnpm

What it does

Changelog is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. How to keep each app's user-facing changelog. Use when you ship a change a user would notice (a new feature, a visible improvement, a bug fix), when wiring the in-app "What's new" surface into a template, or when releasing pending changelog entries. Apps opt in with changelog.enabled: true in agent-native.config.ts.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Debugging. The repository describes itself as: A framework for building agentic apps.

When your agent uses it

  • You ship a change a user would notice (a new feature
  • A visible improvement
  • Wiring the in-app Whats new surface into a template
  • Releasing pending changelog entries

Example prompts

  • “/changelog”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Command menu — pass the app's own changelog to CommandMenu
  2. Settings (optional) — drop the card on the settings page

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e16da0c. 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:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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

Changelog loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 558 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 558 words (~1,304 tokens).

“Changelog generation is off by default. Read this skill only when the app's agent-native.config.ts enables changelog.enabled; otherwise do not create pending entries for ordinary app changes.”
