At a glance

Updates marchat documentation and changelogs to match code and release practice.

  • Editing CHANGELOG.md
  • SKILL.md covers Style, CHANGELOG.md, Behavior changes (required) and README.md, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls go and git
  • ARCHITECTURE.md

What it does

Writing Marchat Docs is an agent skill from Cod-e-Codes/marchat. Updates marchat documentation and changelogs to match code and release practice. Use when editing CHANGELOG.md, README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, PROTOCOL.md, TESTING.md, or other project markdown.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 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 Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: Terminal chat for developers: Go WebSocket server + Bubble Tea TUI client, optional E2E, reactions, DMs, channels, plugins, files, code snippets, admin UI. Backends: SQLite… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing CHANGELOG.md
  • ARCHITECTURE.md
  • Other project markdown

Example prompts

  • “Use the writing-marchat-docs skill to update marchat documentation and changelogs to match code and release practice”
  • “/writing-marchat-docs”

Requirements

  • Docker

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3440f09. 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:

    • go
    • git

    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

Writing Marchat Docs loads about 734 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~734

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.

Writing marchat docs

Update docs when behavior, protocol, env vars, or coverage changes. Do not edit markdown the user did not ask for unless required by the same change set.

Style

  • Match existing voice: technical, direct, complete sentences.
  • Use **Bold label**: for changelog section prefixes (Client, Server, Docs, Fix:).
  • ASCII hyphen -, not Unicode em dash.
  • No decorative emoji in docs or UI chrome descriptions (user message/reaction emoji in product behavior is fine to document).
  • Link to ARCHITECTURE.md, PROTOCOL.md, TESTING.md instead of duplicating long specs.

CHANGELOG.md

  • Unreleased on main only until tag and publish.
  • Each release: date, link to prior tag, git log hint, narrative bullets (not a raw commit dump).
  • Call out breaking protocol or keystore changes explicitly.
  • Dependency bumps: name and version.
  • Published GitHub release bodies are separate from CHANGELOG. Do not commit release-notes*.md (gitignored local drafts for --notes-file only). Omit Docker from those drafts (CI appends it). See releasing-marchat.

Behavior changes (required)

When user-visible or protocol behavior changes, update CHANGELOG and normative docs together (ARCHITECTURE.md, PROTOCOL.md, TESTING.md, README.md when env/coverage/install facts shift). Update domain skills under .cursor/skills/ when agent workflows or shipped behavior they describe changes. Do not leave CHANGELOG-only updates when other docs or skills would become stale.

README.md

  • Install paths, env vars, doctor, DB backends, proxy/WSS, coverage summary pointer to TESTING.md.
  • Keep install script version snippets aligned with latest release when bumping version.

ARCHITECTURE.md / PROTOCOL.md

  • Normative for system design and wire JSON shapes.
  • E2E: global symmetric ChaCha20-Poly1305; base64 nonce || ciphertext in content when encrypted is true.
  • Do not describe chat E2E as X25519 key exchange.

TESTING.md

  • Regenerate coverage with go test -coverprofile=... and go tool cover -func=....
  • Document nested plugin/sdk separately from main module merge.
  • Note doctor osEnviron / environMu parallel test constraint.

Roadmap

Use ROADMAP.md for planned work. Do not document roadmap items as released unless they exist in code.

Checklist

  • Facts match current code (grep or read implementation)
  • Version strings consistent across touched files
  • Coverage numbers refreshed if tests changed materially
  • Normative docs and domain skills updated when behavior changes (not CHANGELOG-only)
  • No em dash introduced in new prose
