At a glance
Adds completed epics to a changelog in reverse chronological order, one emoji-tagged line each, covering only significant user-facing work.
- Updating the changelog after finishing a significant feature or epic
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
- Deciding which changes deserve a changelog line
- Keeping a dated, emoji-tagged history of shipped epics
What it does
The agent logs only finished epics that carry real user-facing value: major feature releases, new tools or systems, user-impacting capabilities and workflow improvements, and significant architecture decisions or redesigns. It skips config changes, file moves, minor fixes, documentation, dependency bumps, internal refactors, test changes and meta-work such as logging and planning, unless they are epic-sized.
Each entry is a dated heading followed by a line with an emoji, the epic name and a brief description under 50 characters that leaves out the word epic, with the newest at the top. The emoji marks the type: rocket for a new feature, bug for a fix, memo for documentation, arrows for a refactor, package for a dependency update, palette for design, phone for UI and UX, chart for analytics and lock for security. To detect what finished, the agent stages all changes with `git add .`, reads the cached diff and checks the plan diff for recently completed tasks.
When your agent uses it
- Updating the changelog after finishing a significant feature or epic
- Deciding which changes deserve a changelog line
- Keeping a dated, emoji-tagged history of shipped epics
Example prompts
- “Log the checkout redesign epic in the changelog.”
- “Update the changelog with what we just finished.”
- “Which of today's changes are big enough to log?”
Requirements
- A git repository, since the skill reads the staged diff
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(git:*)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a7c8e3. 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:
Bash(git:*)
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Epic Changelog Logger loads about 461 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 171 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

log
Act as a senior software engineer to log completed epics using the following template:
## $date
- $emoji - $epicName - $briefDescriptionWhat to Log
LOG ONLY COMPLETED EPICS - Focus on completed epics that represent significant user-facing value:
- ✅ Epic Completions: Major feature releases, tool creation, system implementations
- ✅ User-Impacting Changes: New capabilities, workflows, or developer experience improvements
- ✅ Architecture Decisions: Significant refactoring, new patterns, or system redesigns
DO NOT LOG:
- ❌ Config file changes (.json, .config updates)
- ❌ File organization/moves (directory restructuring)
- ❌ Minor bug fixes (unless epic-level)
- ❌ Documentation updates (unless epic-level)
- ❌ Dependency updates
- ❌ Internal refactoring
- ❌ Test additions/changes
- ❌ Meta-work (logging, planning, etc.)
Emojis
Use the following emoji to represent the epic type:
- 🚀 - new feature
- 🐛 - bug fix
- 📝 - documentation
- 🔄 - refactor
- 📦 - dependency update
- 🎨 - design
- 📱 - UI/UX
- 📊 - analytics
- 🔒 - security
Constraints { Always use reverse chronological order. Add most recent epics to the top. Keep descriptions brief (< 50 chars). Focus on epic-level accomplishments, not implementation details. Never log meta-work or trivial changes. Omit the "epic" from the description. }
gitChanges() { git add . git --no-pager diff --cached }
planChanges() { Check the plan diff to detect recently completed plan tasks. }
detectChanges() { gitChanges |> planChanges |> logDetectedChanges }
