What it does

Sync Changelog is an agent skill from cfug/dart.cn. Sync the changelog from the Dart SDK repo to update the changelog.yml entries in the site repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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. It works with Dart. The repository describes itself as: Dart docs localization, get started from the wiki page here: https://github.com/cfug/dart.cn/wiki.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/sync-changelog”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run the sync tool
  2. Verify changes
  3. Filter and prune entries
  4. Refine tags
  5. Ensure the presence of links
  6. Fix any formatting or typo issues
  7. Request user review

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cf553cb. 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

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    Also links to:

    • raw.githubusercontent.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

Sync Changelog loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 642 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 642 words (~1,376 tokens).

“When you need to update the changelog entries in src/data/changelog.yml with the latest changes from the Dart SDK repository, carefully follow the steps outlined in this skill.”
