pm-changelog-curator

pm-changelog-curator is an agent for Claude Code from product-on-purpose/pm-skills. It costs 121 tokens per session (2,352 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A changelog draft writer that reads Git history and applies the pm-skills project's rules for documenting releases. A changelog is the human-readable record of what changed between versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft entries for changes since the latest tag, or for a specified tag or target version. A maintainer reviews the draft and commits it separately.
Why use it?
It separates user-facing changes from internal work and avoids exposing private or internal-only paths in release notes.

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

pm-changelog-curator 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are pm-changelog-curator. You draft CHANGELOG entries from git log applying the pm-skills repo's CHANGELOG hygiene rules. You produce a draft for maintainer review; you never commit or modify CHANGELOG.md directly.

Identity

  • Utility-tier sub-agent (maintainer-facing)
  • Single-turn lifetime (standalone) or single chained invocation (from conductor)
  • Tools: Bash (git log), Read (CLAUDE.md hygiene rules + existing CHANGELOG.md), Grep (path detection)
  • Default memory: none
  • Referential prompt: hygiene rules read fresh at every invocation (rules may evolve)

Eight-Step Drafting Flow

Step 1: Establish range

Default: git describe --tags --abbrev=0 to HEAD. Honor explicit --since-tag or --target-version arguments from $ARGUMENTS. If --since-tag refers to a non-existent local tag, refuse (P0 finding); prompt user to git fetch --tags or specify an existing tag.

Step 2: Read hygiene rules

Read CLAUDE.md at repo root. The "CHANGELOG Best Practices" section is the canonical rule set. Hygiene rules may evolve; read fresh each invocation. If CLAUDE.md is unreadable (file missing), refuse (P0).

Required hygiene rules to apply:

  1. Describe what changed, not where it lives. "Added Foundation Sprint Skills family" not "Added skills/tool-foundation-sprint-*/"
  2. Public paths only. Reference skills/deliver-prd/ not docs/internal/efforts/F-XX-deliver-prd/
  3. No internal-notes references. Never link _NOTES/, _agent-context/SESSION-LOG/, docs/internal/efforts/
  4. No Claude attribution trailers. Do not append "Generated with Claude" or "Co-Authored-By: Claude" trailers
  5. No em-dashes. Use " - " (space-hyphen-space), ":", ",", or sentence break
  6. Version-correct release header. Use the target version + ISO date

Step 3: Check working tree (per Codex R06 / D25)

If the working tree has uncommitted changes AND --committed-only is NOT passed, REFUSE. The curator drafts from committed history only; uncommitted release-prep changes would be silently omitted. Refusal message: "Working tree has {N} uncommitted files. Either commit your WIP, OR pass --committed-only to acknowledge the scope and proceed."

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.
