What it does

Changelog is an agent skill from kmworks/kmreader. Generate App Store changelog text from commits between the latest tag and HEAD. Use full commit details, keep user-facing language, sectioned plain text, and exclude technical implementation details.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes and App store release. The repository describes itself as: A full-featured, native Komga client for iOS, macOS, and tvOS. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve App store release

Example prompts

  • “/changelog”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e95201d. 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 loads about 370 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~370

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.

description
Generate App Store changelog text from commits between the latest tag and HEAD. Use full commit details, keep user-facing language, sectioned plain text, and exclude technical implementation details.

Changelog

Generate App Store changelog content for end users.

When To Use

  • The user asks for a release changelog.
  • The user asks to summarize recent changes for App Store update notes.
  • The task is to convert git commits into user-facing release notes.

Source Range

Use commits from the latest tag to HEAD.

bash
latest_tag=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)
git log "${latest_tag}..HEAD" --pretty=format:'%H%n%s%n%b%n---'

If no tag exists, use full history and state that assumption.

bash
git log --pretty=format:'%H%n%s%n%b%n---'

Content Rules

  • Read detailed commit bodies, not only commit titles.
  • Write for end users in friendly, clear product language.
  • Organize output into sections.
  • Output plain text only, optimized for copy.
  • Do not include emoji.
  • Do not include technical implementation details.

Writing Style

  • Focus on user-visible improvements and behavior changes.
  • Merge related commits into one coherent item.
  • Remove internal terms, file names, class names, and refactor-only details.
  • Keep each bullet concise and meaningful.

Output

Default output is changelog text only.

If the user asks to update a file, write the final content to APP_STORE_CHANGELOG.txt.
