What it does
Changelog is an agent skill from Touch-N-Stars/Touch-N-Stars. Write or fix a CHANGELOG.md release entry. Use when a change is ready for release notes, when preparing a version, or when the What's New screen in the app shows a wrong version, missing entries or literal markdown characters.
Its SKILL.md is about 730 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. It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: a WebApp to controll NINA. The licence is GPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- A change is ready for release notes
- Preparing a version
- The Whats New screen in the app shows a wrong version
- Missing entries
Example prompts
- “/changelog”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c7af082. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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 725 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 335 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 Touch-N-Stars/Touch-N-Stars at commit c7af082, republished under its GPL-3.0 licence (© Touch-N-Stars). 335 words, ~725 tokens.

CHANGELOG entries in Touch'N'Stars
CHANGELOG.md is not free-form. scripts/generate-whats-new.js parses it at
build time (serve, build:app, ionic:build all run it) into
public/whats-new.json, which the app renders as the What's New screen.
A malformed entry ships to users.
The parser contract
Verified against scripts/generate-whats-new.js:
| Rule | Where | What breaks |
|---|---|---|
Heading must be ## [AppX.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD | line 51 | A missing App prefix or - separator yields version: 'unknown' in the payload |
Only the first ## [ block is exported | lines 29-45 | A new release added below an old one is never shown |
Only ### headings and flat - bullets are converted | lines 75-88 | Indented sub-bullets fall through to the paragraph fallback (line 92) and lose their list |
| All text is HTML-escaped | escapeHtml, line 97 | Backticks, bold markers and markdown links appear literally on the screen |
So: no inline markdown, no nested lists, no code spans. Write plain sentences.
Version numbers
package.json holds the version without prefix (6.1.4-beta8), the
CHANGELOG heading with it (App6.1.4-beta8). src/version.js only
re-exports package.json, so there is nothing else to keep in sync.
The Bump version from … to … commits are made separately by the maintainer. Write the changelog entry against the version that is (or will
be) in package.json — do not bump it yourself.
Entry shape
## [App6.1.4-beta8] - 2026-08-24
### Added
- Sequence editor: Items can now be saved directly from the editor
### Fixed
- Guiding: Manual VNC guide cameras now correctly set the PHD2Camera profile valueSections follow Keep a Changelog: Added, Changed, Fixed
(plus Deprecated, Removed, Security when they apply). Omit empty ones.
Writing style
- Prefix each bullet with the affected area, matching the wording users see
in the UI:
Guiding (PHD2):,Equipment:,Settings:,Atlas:,Sequence editor:,PINS:. - Write from the user's side, not the commit's.
fix(mount): treat a parked mount as not slewingbecomes "Mount: A parked mount is no longer shown as slewing". - One bullet per user-visible change. Several commits that add up to one feature get one bullet — the hardware-db plugin shipped as a single line despite a dozen commits.
- Long entries are fine when the symptom needs explaining: describe what went
wrong for the user, then what happens now. See the beta5
Equipment:entries for the tone. - No issue numbers, no file paths, no commit hashes.
