What it does

Creating Changesets is an agent skill from farm-fe/farm. Creates changesets for semantic versioning. Use when adding changesets, preparing releases, determining version bumps (patch/minor/major), generating changelog entries, or documenting breaking changes.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/scenarios.md`). Compatibility notes: Claude Code with Node.js =20, pnpm, TypeScript 5.5+

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: Extremely fast Vite-compatible web build tool written in Rust. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding changesets
  • Preparing releases
  • Determining version bumps (patch/minor/major)
  • Generating changelog entries

Example prompts

  • “Use the creating-changesets skill to create changesets for semantic versioning. An agent skill from farm-fe/farm”
  • “/creating-changesets”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Claude Code with Node.js >=20, pnpm, TypeScript 5.5+
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit, Bash(git:*), Bash(npx changeset:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create Changeset
  2. PR and Review
  3. Merge to Main
  4. Merge Version PR

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2000ef8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(git:*)
    • Bash(npx changeset:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pnpm
    • git
    • npx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.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.

  • Compatibility

    Claude Code with Node.js >=20, pnpm, TypeScript 5.5+

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Creating Changesets loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 369 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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.

Changeset & Release Manager

Overview

Automate the creation of changesets following project conventions, ensuring proper version bumps and well-documented release notes.

When to Use

  • After completing a feature or fix
  • Before creating a PR
  • When preparing a release
  • To document breaking changes

What is a Changeset?

A changeset is a markdown file in the .changeset/ directory that describes:

  1. Which packages are affected
  2. What type of version bump (patch/minor/major)
  3. A description of the change

Changeset Types

TypeWhen to UseVersion Change
patchBug fixes, documentation, refactoring, dependency updates1.0.0 → 1.0.1
minorNew features, non-breaking enhancements1.0.0 → 1.1.0
majorBreaking changes, API modifications1.0.0 → 2.0.0

Decision Guide

Use patch for:
  • Bug fixes that don't change behavior
  • Documentation updates
  • Internal refactoring (no API changes)
  • Dependency updates (non-breaking)
  • Performance improvements
  • Code style/linting fixes
Use minor for:
  • New features
  • New CLI commands
  • New configuration options
  • Enhanced functionality
  • New entity types support
  • Non-breaking API additions
Use major for:
  • Breaking configuration changes
  • Removed features or commands
  • Changed CLI interface
  • Required migration steps
  • Node.js version requirement changes

Creating a Changeset

Interactive Method
bash
pnpm changeset

Follow the prompts:

  1. Select affected packages (space to select)
  2. Choose bump type for each package
  3. Write a summary of changes
Manual Method

Create a file in .changeset/ with a random name:

markdown
---
"@saleor/configurator": minor
---

Add support for reference attributes with entityType field

- Attributes of type REFERENCE now require an entityType field
- Introspection properly captures entity type references
- Deploy correctly handles reference attribute creation
File Format
markdown
---
"package-name": patch|minor|major
---

Short description of the change (shown in CHANGELOG)

Optional longer description with:
- Bullet points for details
- Code examples if needed
- Migration instructions for breaking changes

Release Workflow

1. Create Changeset
bash
pnpm changeset
git add .changeset/
git commit -m "chore: add changeset for feature"
Show full SKILL.md (151 more words)Show less
2. PR and Review
  • Changeset is part of the PR
  • Reviewers can suggest bump type changes
3. Merge to Main
  • Changesets action creates "Version Packages" PR
  • This PR updates version and CHANGELOG
4. Merge Version PR
  • Triggers npm publish
  • Creates GitHub release

Checking Status

bash
# See what changesets exist
npx changeset status

# Preview version bump
npx changeset version --dry-run
