birre: Command for Claude Code

.github/prompts/changelog.prompt.md

changelog is a command for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot from boecht/birre. It costs 13 tokens per session (757 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A command that drafts or creates a CHANGELOG.md entry from all commits on the current branch. A changelog is a human-readable record of software changes between releases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare release notes with standard sections, dates, versions, impact-focused wording, and required headings.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of reviewing every commit and formatting changes consistently. It also helps avoid missing user-facing changes or breaking-change notices.

Command for Claude CodeGitHub Copilot

Written for Claude Code and GitHub Copilot: argument-hint in frontmatter, but also a Copilot chat mode or prompt. Also seen: agent in frontmatter; Copilot chat-mode frontmatter (tools: vscode/*).

This is boecht/birre's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and GitHub Copilot how to work on birre itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything birre configures →

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

changelog 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 today.

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.

Goal

You will update or create a CHANGELOG.md entry that follows BiRRe standards

Rules

You MUST strictly follow the rules in edit-changelog.instructions.md Non-compliance will result in rejected entries. Pay special attention to:

  1. Comprehensive coverage: Analyze ALL commits on the branch (not just the latest one!)
  2. Category order: Changed, Added, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security (EXACT order, no exceptions)
  3. Imperative mood: "Add feature" NOT "Added feature" or "New feature added"
  4. User benefits: Describe impact, not implementation details
  5. Headline prefixes: Use **TOP:** for the most impactful bullets (first in Changed/Added) and **Breaking:** for any breaking behavior as mandated in the instructions file.

Inputs (from user)

  • version (e.g., 4.0.0-alpha.3) — if omitted: try to extract from branch name, otherwise bump released patch version
  • date (YYYY-MM-DD) — if omitted: use today

Playbook

Gather context

  • Enumerate ALL commits on the current branch (= all commits since the last merge into main)
  • Review EACH commit to identify user-facing changes (don't stop at the most recent commit!)
  • Skim the commit messages and, if required, diffs to understand user-facing effects

Categorize

  • Use the six categories in this EXACT order: Changed, Added, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security
  • Use imperative mood for ALL bullets (e.g., "Add X", "Fix Y", "Remove Z" — NOT "Added", "Fixed", "Removed")
  • Describe user impact (not implementation): "Improve startup time" not "Refactor config loader"
  • Mark breaking changes with **Breaking:** under Changed/Removed and highlight the most significant updates with **TOP:** (always first in Changed/Added when present)

Write the entry

  • Insert (or update) a section:
    • ## [<version>] - <date>
    • Categories only if they have items; omit empty categories
  • Keep it self-contained; avoid internal codes and commit dumps

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.
