What it does

Conventional Changelog is an agent skill from mizchi/skills. Reference for Conventional Commits and automatic CHANGELOG generation. Compares release-please / changesets / git-cliff / towncrier and covers commit format, Keep a Changelog, and semver tag practices. Use when setting up or unifying a release flow.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `README.md` and `SKILL-ja.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes and Commit messages. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Agent skills by mizchi, distributed via APM.

When your agent uses it

  • Unifying a release flow
  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes
  • Tasks that involve Commit messages

Example prompts

  • “/conventional-changelog”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Stack commits with prerelease-type: "beta" → v2.0.0-beta.1 is cut
  2. More commits stack up as v2.0.0-beta.2 / beta.3 ...
  3. Promote to RC: rewrite config to "prerelease-type": "rc" → v2.0.0-rc.1
  4. Stable release: "prerelease": false (or remove the field) → v2.0.0

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62f5808. 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
    • cargo
    • npm
    • brew
    • changeset

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com
    • keepachangelog.com
    • semver.org
    • raw.githubusercontent.com

    Also links to:

    • conventionalcommits.org
    • git-cliff.org

    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

Conventional Changelog loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,547 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.6k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,547 words (~4,584 tokens).

“A guide to writing commit messages following the Conventional Commits spec and mechanically generating CHANGELOGs and semver tags from them. Pick tools across npm / cargo / python / rust / go and avoid writing CHANGELOGs by hand.”
