What it does

Changeset is an agent skill from garden-co/classic-jazz. Generate changeset files for versioning and changelog management in this monorepo.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 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 Monorepo tooling and Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: A new kind of database that's distributed across your frontend, containers, serverless functions and its own storage cloud. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Monorepo tooling
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/changeset”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. User describes the change they made
  2. Identify which packages are affected
  3. Determine the appropriate semver bump type
  4. Create the changeset file in .changeset/ with a unique filename

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f90501. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Changeset loads about 538 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~538

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.

Generating Changesets

Use this skill when the user asks to create a changeset or add a changeset.

What is a Changeset?

A changeset is a markdown file with YAML front matter that documents:

  • Which packages need to be released
  • What semver bump type (major, minor, or patch) each package should receive
  • A changelog entry describing the changes

Changeset File Format

Changeset files are stored in .changeset/ directory with a unique filename: {unique-id}.md

markdown
---
"package-name": major|minor|patch
"another-package": minor
---

A description of the changes that will appear in the changelog.

Package Names

Use the exact package name from the package's package.json file. Common packages:

  • cojson
  • jazz-tools
  • jazz-run
  • jazz-webhook
  • cojson-core-wasm
  • cojson-core-rn
  • cojson-core-napi
  • cojson-storage-indexeddb
  • cojson-storage-sqlite
  • cojson-storage-do-sqlite
  • cojson-transport-ws
  • community-jazz-vue
  • create-jazz-app
  • hash-slash
  • quint-ui

Important: Always check the actual package.json file to get the exact package name.

Semver Bump Types

  • major: Never use this, we are still in v0
  • minor: Breaking changes that require users to update their code
  • patch: New features that are backward compatible, bug fixes and small changes

Important: minor is only for breaking changes. Everything else should be patch.

Example Changeset

markdown
---
"jazz-tools": patch
---

Added new `useSuspenseCoState` hook for data fetching using Suspense

Best Practices

  • Write clear, user-facing changelog entries (not technical commit messages)
  • Use past tense ("Added feature" not "Add feature")
  • Be specific about what changed
  • If multiple packages are affected, list them all in the front matter

Workflow

  1. User describes the change they made
  2. Identify which packages are affected
  3. Determine the appropriate semver bump type
  4. Create the changeset file in .changeset/ with a unique filename
