What it does
Changelog Generator is an agent skill from ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill. Generates user-facing changelogs and release notes from git commit history. Parses conventional commits, categorizes changes into features, fixes, breaking changes, and more, then rewrites technical messages into customer-friendly language. Use when the user asks to generate a changelog, write release notes, summarize recent commits, prepare CHANGELOG.md, or document what changed between versions.
Its SKILL.md is about 690 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 Commit messages. The repository describes itself as: AutoSkill: Experience-Driven Lifelong Learning via Skill Self-Evolution.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to generate a changelog
- Write release notes
- Summarize recent commits
- Prepare CHANGELOG.md
Example prompts
- “Use the changelog-generator skill to generate user-facing changelogs and release notes from git commit history”
- “/changelog-generator”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Gather commits
- Categorize each commit
- Rewrite for a non-technical audience
- Format the output
- Validate before presenting
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 94c47ca. 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
Changelog Generator loads about 694 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 249 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 249 words (~694 tokens).
“Generate structured, user-facing changelogs from git commit history.”
