What it does

Weekly Changelog is an agent skill from hw-native-sys/pypto. Generate a weekly changelog markdown file summarizing external API and feature changes from git commits in a date range. Extracts before/after Python examples per commit, groups by theme (DSL / distributed / runtime / IR deprecations), and attributes each change to its author. Use when the user asks for a weekly report, changelog, commit summary, or interface-change digest.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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, Commit messages and Markdown. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: A community-driven pypto implementation.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for a weekly report
  • Interface-change digest

Example prompts

  • “/weekly-changelog”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Collect Parameters
  2. List Commits in Range
  3. Classify Commits
  4. Extract Before/After Per External Commit
  5. Assemble Markdown
  6. Save and Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 05cfd70. 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
    • gh

    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

Weekly Changelog loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 813 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~98
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 813 words (~2,108 tokens).

“Produces a markdown report of externally visible PyPTO changes over a date range (typically one week). Each entry has a one-line summary, before/after Python example, classification (new / replace / deprecate), and the implementer's name so reviewers can find the…”
