What it does

Toolbox Changelog is an agent skill from Devolutions/devolutions-gateway. Generates user-facing changelogs for Devolutions Gateway and Devolutions Agent in Devolutions ToolBox format from CHANGELOG.md.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: A blazing fast relay server adaptable to different protocols and desired levels of traffic inspection. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “Use the toolbox-changelog skill to generate user-facing changelogs for Devolutions Gateway and Devolutions Agent in Devolutions ToolBox format from…”
  • “/toolbox-changelog”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Determine the target version
  2. Collect relevant entries
  3. Classify into categories
  4. Write user-friendly descriptions
  5. Output format

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 91b8f90. 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

    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

Toolbox Changelog loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 503 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Generates user-facing changelogs for Devolutions Gateway and Devolutions Agent in Devolutions ToolBox format from CHANGELOG.md.

ToolBox Changelog Generator

Read CHANGELOG.md from the project root and produce two user-facing changelogs — one for Devolutions Gateway and one for Devolutions Agent — ready to paste into the Devolutions ToolBox change history.

Step 1: Determine the target version

  • If the user provided a version argument (e.g. /toolbox-changelog 2025.3.4), find the ## 2025.3.4 (...) block in CHANGELOG.md.
  • Otherwise, use the first (most recent) version block in the file.

Step 2: Collect relevant entries

For each entry in the target version block, check the scope (the text in _italics_ before the colon). An entry can have multiple scopes separated by commas (e.g. _dgw,agent_:).

Scope routing:

ScopeProductLabel
dgwDevolutions GatewayService
installerDevolutions GatewayInstaller
agentDevolutions AgentService
agent-installerDevolutions AgentInstaller

Ignore entries with any other scope (webapp, jetsocat, build, etc.) — they are internal or belong to other products.

When a single entry has multiple scopes (e.g. _dgw,agent_:), emit a separate line for each product it belongs to.

Step 3: Classify into categories

Map each CHANGELOG section to a user-facing category:

CHANGELOG sectionCategory
### FeaturesNew features
### PerformanceImprovements
### SecurityImprovements
### Bug FixesFixes
### Build(skip)

If unsure, use your judgment: new capabilities → New features, polish/performance/UX → Improvements, fixes → Fixes.

Step 4: Write user-friendly descriptions

The raw commit message title is often too technical. Rewrite each entry in plain English that a non-developer end user would understand:

  • Remove implementation details (crate names, internal module names, PR numbers, commit hashes, protocol internals).
  • Use active voice and plain language.
  • Preserve the key user-visible benefit.
  • Keep it to one line.

Good examples:

  • Service - Add options to use a dedicated certificate for CredSSP credential injection
  • Installer - Allow downloading keys even when the certificate isn't trusted (useful in restricted/air-gapped environments)
  • Service - Reduce noisy logs: benign client disconnects are now logged as DEBUG instead of ERROR
  • Service - Add outbound proxy configuration support for HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS
  • Service - Automatically generate a self-signed certificate for CredSSP when no TLS certificate is configured
Show full SKILL.md (181 more words)Show less

Bad examples (too technical):

  • Service - Replace reqwest system-proxy with proxy_cfg crate for PAC file support ← internal implementation detail
  • Service - Downgrade BrokenPipe/ConnectionReset/UnexpectedEof from ERROR to DEBUG ← raw code terms
  • Installer - Fix 9a9f31ad71 ← commit hash, no context

Use the multi-line description under each entry (when present) to understand the user-facing impact — but don't reproduce it verbatim; summarize what the user gains.

Handling vague entries: When a commit message title is ambiguous and there is no multi-line description, inspect the commit diff to understand what actually changed. Each CHANGELOG entry contains a commit hash as a link — run git show <hash> to read the diff. Use what you find to write an accurate, user-friendly description. Only omit an entry if the diff confirms it is purely internal with no user-visible effect.

Step 5: Output format

Print the final result. Omit any category that has no entries.

Installer - ...

Each entry is on its own line. Categories are separated by a blank line. The two product sections are separated by --- and a blank line. This makes it easy to copy individual lines directly into the Devolutions ToolBox.
