About this skill
Changelog is a skill in s-kostyaev/ellama (962 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 371 tokens. Licence: GPL-3.0.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b6e71f4. 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
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
Changelog loads about 371 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 12 tokens; SKILL.md has 160 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.
SKILL.md
The full file from s-kostyaev/ellama at commit b6e71f4, republished under its GPL-3.0 licence (© s-kostyaev). 160 words, ~371 tokens.

- Use this skill to generate changelog.
Generating changelog
Call shell_command tool with "git --no-pager log --reverse main..HEAD" argument.
Based on the output write changelog in org-mode list format. Use org quoting
(quoted-text) instead of markdown quoting (quoted-text). Every changelog
element should be ended with full stop. Changelog shouldn't be too short or too
long, use detailed description for major changes and concise description for
minor changes. Humanize it before writing using humanize-writing skill.
Call shell_command tools with "git --no-pager tag -l --points-at=main" argument to see previously released version. Based on this information and minority/majority of the changes you can fill version variable. If you are not sure, ask the user using ask_user tool with your variants of the version.
Write it to ./NEWS.org using prepend_file tool with header:
- Version {version}
After header should be changelog content. Content MUST ends with single newline. Example:
* Version {version}
- Some change description. Some additional information.
- Major change detailed description. This change improves ~ellama-something~.
Some additional information.
- Third change description.
- Some fix in ~ellama-example-command~ description.After generating the changelog, update the version in ellama.el, commit the generated release changes with the exact commit message "Bump version", and push.

Questions about Changelog
How do I install Changelog in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add s-kostyaev/ellama --skill changelog -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/changelog in s-kostyaev/ellama) into .claude/skills/changelog in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Changelog in Codex?
Run `npx skills add s-kostyaev/ellama --skill changelog -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/changelog in s-kostyaev/ellama) into .agents/skills/changelog in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Changelog in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add s-kostyaev/ellama --skill changelog -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/changelog, .gemini/skills/changelog, .github/skills/changelog and .opencode/skills/changelog in your project.
What does Changelog need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Changelog is instructions for the agent only.
Does Changelog access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Changelog safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Changelog use?
Changelog is published under the GPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Changelog use?
About 371 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Changelog?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Changelog: Simple English (moeru-ai/airi, 50k stars), StarRocks Release Notes (StarRocks/starrocks, 12k stars), Cutting A Release (TriliumNext/Trilium, 38k stars) and Mole CLI Release Flow (tw93/Mole, 70k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Changelog?
s-kostyaev (a GitHub user) maintains it in s-kostyaev/ellama, which has 962 GitHub stars. The repository holds 2 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 7, 2026.
