At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the user asks to generate a changelog, release notes, or delivery notes from ADVPL/TLPP code changes on TOTVS Protheus -- analyzing diffs or a list of changed files…

  • The user asks to generate a changelog
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Delivery notes from ADVPL/TLPP code changes on TOTVS Protheus -- analyzing diffs
  • A list of changed files

What it does

Changelog Patterns is an agent skill from thalysjuvenal/advpl-specialist. Use when the user asks to generate a changelog, release notes, or delivery notes from ADVPL/TLPP code changes on TOTVS Protheus -- analyzing diffs or a list of changed files, classifying each change (NEW/FIX/CHANGE/REMOVE/REFACTOR), assessing business impact (ALTO/MEDIO/BAIXO), and detecting affected tables. Also triggers on Portuguese phrasing like "gerar changelog", "notas de versao", "documentar entrega", "o que mudou nessa versao", or requests to audit code changes for compliance.

Its SKILL.md is about 430 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `reference.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Changelog and release notes. The repository describes itself as: Plugin para Claude Code especializado em ADVPL e TLPP para desenvolvimento TOTVS Protheus. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to generate a changelog
  • Delivery notes from ADVPL/TLPP code changes on TOTVS Protheus -- analyzing diffs
  • A list of changed files
  • Classifying each change (NEW/FIX/CHANGE/REMOVE/REFACTOR)

Example prompts

  • “gerar changelog”
  • “notas de versao”
  • “documentar entrega”
  • “/changelog-patterns”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d80599b. 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 Patterns loads about 430 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 157 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~430

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.

Use when the user asks to generate a changelog, release notes, or delivery notes from ADVPL/TLPP code changes on TOTVS Protheus -- analyzing diffs or a list of changed files, classifying each change (NEW/FIX/CHANGE/REMOVE/REFACTOR), assessing business impact (ALTO/MEDIO/BAIXO), and detecting affected tables. Also triggers on Portuguese phrasing like "gerar changelog", "notas de versao", "documentar entrega", "o que mudou nessa versao", or requests to audit code changes for compliance.

Changelog Patterns

This skill defines how to analyze ADVPL/TLPP code changes (via git diff or a supplied file list) and produce a structured changelog: change type classification (NEW/FIX/CHANGE/REMOVE/REFACTOR with Portuguese labels), impact level assessment (ALTO/MEDIO/BAIXO), detection of affected database tables from DBSelectArea/RecLock/BeginSQL patterns, and output in either Markdown or plain-text format.

Activate this skill when the user wants a client-facing or internal changelog, release notes, or delivery documentation generated from a set of code changes. It does not cover generating documentation headers or technical routine specs from a single source file with no diff context -- that is closer to a documentation-generation task and out of scope for this skill's diff-analysis process; it also does not cover code review findings (see advpl-code-review) or the migration checklist for .prw to .tlpp conversions (see advpl-to-tlpp-migration).
