What it does

Changeset is an agent skill from udecode/kitcn. Use when writing changesets for releases

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Convex + Better Auth + tRPC + Drizzle + TanStack Query + shadcn. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing changesets for releases

Example prompts

  • “/changeset”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Reuse existing changeset
  2. Versioning (project is still v0)
  3. Required body structure
  4. Migration snippets (required for breaking changes)
  5. Bullet quality rules
  6. Copy-paste template

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c6010f5. 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

Changeset loads about 450 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 13 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 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
~450

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.

Changeset Writing

Always mirror @packages/kitcn/CHANGELOG.md tone and structure.

0) Reuse existing changeset

  • Before creating a new changeset, check .changeset/ for an existing unreleased changeset.
  • If one exists, UPDATE it instead of creating a new file. Nothing in it has been released yet, so treat it as a living draft.
  • Replace outdated content — don't append "also added..." or track progress. Write the latest state as if from scratch.

1) Versioning (project is still v0)

  • Breaking change => minor
  • Non-breaking change => patch
  • If a release has both breaking and non-breaking work, use minor.

2) Required body structure

  • Split the body into explicit sections:
    • ## Breaking changes
    • ## Features
    • ## Patches
  • Omit empty sections, but never mix categories in one section.
  • Keep bullets concise and user-facing.

3) Migration snippets (required for breaking changes)

  • Every breaking change must include a short Before/After code snippet immediately under that section.
  • Include changed imports, renamed exports, or changed call signatures.
  • If a symbol is renamed, include a dedicated rename snippet.

4) Bullet quality rules

  • Start bullets with action verbs: Add, Support, Fix, Improve, Deprecate, Remove, Drop.
  • Describe what users can do now, not internals.
  • Do not mention file paths, private implementation details, or algorithm notes.
  • Keep each bullet to one concrete outcome.

5) Copy-paste template

"kitcn": minor

- Drop ...

```ts
// Before

// After
...
```

## Features

- Add ...
