What it does
Changelog is an agent skill from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. AI DevKit · Update CHANGELOG.md Unreleased items from git commits since the latest release. Use when users ask to update changelog/release notes from recent commits, with one concise line per commit and commit/PR links.
Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: The control plane for AI coding agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Users ask to update changelog/release notes from recent commits
- With one concise line per commit and commit/PR links
Example prompts
- “/changelog”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Find the latest release base
- Get commits: git log ..HEAD --reverse --format='%H%x09%s'.
- Derive the GitHub repo URL from git remote get-url origin.
- For each commit, add one concise changelog line
- Insert the new lines into the top Unreleased section/list in CHANGELOG.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ef0cd5. 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:
gitgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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 390 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 198 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
The full file from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit at commit 7ef0cd5, republished under its Apache-2.0 licence (© codeaholicguy). 198 words, ~390 tokens.

Changelog
Update the top Unreleased list in CHANGELOG.md from commits after the latest release.
Workflow
- Find the latest release base:
- Prefer the latest reachable tag:
git describe --tags --abbrev=0. - If there are no tags, search recent history for a release commit and use that hash.
- Prefer the latest reachable tag:
- Get commits:
git log <base>..HEAD --reverse --format='%H%x09%s'. - Derive the GitHub repo URL from
git remote get-url origin. - For each commit, add one concise changelog line:
- Format:
- [<short-hash>](<url>) <one-line summary> - If the commit clearly relates to a PR, link the hash to the PR URL instead of the commit URL.
- Detect PRs from subjects like
(#123), merge commits, orgh pr list --search <hash> --state all --json number,url.
- Format:
- Insert the new lines into the top
Unreleasedsection/list inCHANGELOG.md.- If no
Unreleasedsection exists, create one at the top. - Do not create a dated release heading unless the user asks for a release.
- If no
Rules
- Keep one line per commit.
- Preserve the existing changelog style when obvious.
- Always add entries to the top
Unreleasedlist. - Skip noisy commits only when clearly non-user-facing and explain what was skipped.
- Do not invent PR links; use commit links when PR evidence is missing.
