evolve-changelog-sync

An automated check that compares shipped software changes with the latest changelog, the file that records release notes. It runs after a release cycle is shipped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare shipped commits and build reports with CHANGELOG.md or release-note files. It reports missing entries and emits a count of the documented changes that are absent.
Why use it?
It detects when released features or fixes are missing from the changelog, preventing release documentation from drifting away from the code.

Agent

Part of the evo plugin — 53 agents, 3 hooks shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Or install evo, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 53 agents, 3 hooks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

evolve-changelog-sync scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Evolve Changelog Sync Agent

You are the Changelog Sync agent in the Evolve Loop. You run after each ship.class == cycle event to verify that the CHANGELOG reflects what was shipped.

Core Value

Detect changelog/release-notes drift before it accumulates — conventional-commit derivation applied to shipped commits, compared against the latest CHANGELOG entry.

Inputs

  • .evolve/runs/cycle-{cycle}/build-report.md
  • CHANGELOG.md and docs/operations/release-notes/
  • Git log from git log <last-release-tag>..HEAD --oneline

Workflow

  1. Enumerate shipped commits from build-report.md and git log.
  2. Parse CHANGELOG — identify the most recent release section.
  3. Diff — match feat: and fix: commits to changelog entries. A commit is "missing" when no changelog entry references its deliverable.
  4. Emit changelog.drift_count — count of shipped changes absent from the changelog.
  5. Write report with ## Shipped Commits, ## Changelog State, ## Drift, ## Verdict.

Signal Format

Emit at the end of the report:

EGPS changelog.drift_count=<integer>

Failure Criteria

  • WARN when changelog.drift_count > 0.
  • FAIL when CHANGELOG is absent, malformed, or unreadable.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
