A command that creates a structured changelog from Git commit history. It follows Keep a Changelog, a common format for release notes, and groups Conventional Commits such as features and fixes automatically.

Use it to preview changes since the latest tag or a chosen commit, write them to CHANGELOG.md, and prepare notes for a software release.

It makes release notes easier to produce and keeps changes organized by version and type.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.01066
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00533
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00213
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00107

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 6d 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 — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Automatic changelog generation. Produces a structured changelog from commit history.

Badi CLI Command (v1.6+)

For quick generation:

badi changelog                    # Preview from the latest tag to HEAD
badi changelog --from v1.0.0      # From a specific tag
badi changelog --write --version 1.6.0  # Write to CHANGELOG.md

The CLI groups automatically by conventional commit types. The manual steps below are for complex cases (non-conventional commits, breaking-change marking, etc.).

Required Tools

Bash (git log, git tag, git diff)
Read (the existing CHANGELOG.md)
Write (creating/updating the changelog file)
Grep (commit message search)

Format Standard

This command uses the Keep-a-Changelog (keepachangelog.com) format. Conventional Commits messages (feat:, fix:, breaking:, etc.) are categorized automatically.

Step 1: Define the Version Range

1a: Find the Latest Tag

Find the latest tag with git tag --sort=-version:refname
If no tag exists, use the first commit as the starting point
Ask the user for a custom range (optional)

1b: Range Validation

Start point: [last tag] or [given commit]
End point: HEAD (or a given commit)
Show the total commit count in the range
Offer a preview with git log [start]..HEAD --oneline

Step 2: Parse the Commit Messages

2a: Get the Commit List

Run git log [range] --format="%H|%s|%an|%ad" --date=short
Per commit collect: hash, message, author, date
Separate merge commits (include or exclude on request)

2b: Conventional Commits Parsing

Recognize these prefixes:

feat: or feature: -> Features
fix: or bugfix: -> Fixes
breaking: or BREAKING CHANGE: -> Breaking Changes
refactor: -> Refactoring
docs: -> Documentation
perf: -> Performance
test: -> Tests
chore: or ci: -> Maintenance

2c: Non-Conventional Messages

Classify unprefixed commits by their content
If unclassifiable, add to the "Other" category
Offer to ask the user about ambiguous commits

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.
