What it does

Changelog is an agent skill from skybrush-io/live. Update the changelog from recent changes

Its SKILL.md is about 340 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: An open-source drone show and drone swarm ground control station GUI frontend. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

  • “/changelog”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e104a06. 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 341 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 13 tokens; SKILL.md has 198 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~13
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~341

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.

Update the changelog from recent changes

What to do

  • Look at the git history, eg. current branch vs its base, ask user if uncertain
  • Collect all user-facing changes
  • Understand the changes and the intent, ask the user if uncertain!
  • Update CHANGELOG.md

When to use

  • Use this skill when a feature or change is fully implemented
  • Ask clarifying questions if the you're not absolutely sure

Do NOT

  • Do NOT change files other than CHANGELOG.md

Changelog format

  • New changes go into the first h2 (##) section without a version number and release date in it
  • If there is no such section, add it, eg. as ## Unreleased
  • The changelog section can have the following subsections (in this order): Added, Changed, and Fixed
  • The Added, Changed, and Fixed sections can only contain a single, unordered list
  • New entries are added to the end of the corresponding list
  • List items are separated by an empty line
  • Each changelist item has exactly one new list item
  • Descriptions are short (preferably 1 line, max 3), but informative
  • Descriptions are full sentences
  • Descriptions are user-facing, they avoid technical jargon and implementation details
  • Avoid: bold and italic text, unnecessary hyphenation and punctuation, filler text and AI slop in general
  • Max 80 chars per line
