At a glance

Generate changelog entries from git commits, plan files, or structured data.

  • Works in 5 steps: Gather Change Data → Parse Changes → Group and Deduplicate → …
  • Version releases
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Instructions, Error Handling and Examples, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Generate Changelog is an agent skill from maslennikov-ig/claude-code-orchestrator-kit. Generate changelog entries from git commits, plan files, or structured data. Use for version releases, creating CHANGELOG.md sections, or documenting changes between versions.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `commit-mapping.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes, Commit messages and Schema markup. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: 🎼 Turn Claude Code into a production powerhouse. 33+ AI agents automate bug fixing, security scanning, and dependency management. 19 slash commands, 6 MCP configs (600-5000…

When your agent uses it

  • Version releases
  • Creating CHANGELOG.md sections
  • Documenting changes between versions

Example prompts

  • “/generate-changelog”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. Gather Change Data
  2. Parse Changes
  3. Group and Deduplicate
  4. Format Changelog Section
  5. Return Formatted Changelog

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8c3b576. 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
    • Bash

    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 and json).

    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

Generate Changelog loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 307 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash

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 307 words (~1,222 tokens).

“Automatically generate changelog entries following Keep a Changelog format.”
