At a glance

A skill your agent uses when adding a changeset, writing changelog or release notes, or when a functional change (feature, fix) is ready to commit.

  • SKILL.md covers When, How and What to write
  • Calls pnpm
  • Writing changelog

What it does

Writing Changesets is an agent skill from saleor/apps. Use when adding a changeset, writing changelog or release notes, or when a functional change (feature, fix) is ready to commit.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: OSS mirror for public Saleor Apps.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding a changeset
  • Writing changelog
  • A functional change (feature
  • Fix) is ready to commit

Example prompts

  • “/writing-changesets”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4400af6. 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:

    • pnpm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm, 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

Writing Changesets loads about 514 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~514

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 257 words (~514 tokens).

“Read .changeset/README.md first — its writing rules apply.”
