usage-monitor-for-claude: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/changelog.md

changelog is a command for Claude Code from jens-duttke/usage-monitor-for-claude. It costs 14 tokens per session (460 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for maintaining a CHANGELOG.md file, which records user-visible changes between software releases. It decides whether a change belongs in the log and places valid entries under the unreleased section.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding features, fixing released bugs, changing behavior, updating the interface, or removing user-facing functionality.
Why use it?
It helps avoid documenting internal work or fixes that users never experienced, while keeping release notes organized.

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 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.

What it actually says

Add the correct CHANGELOG.md entry (or entries) for the changes in this conversation. The decision rule for whether a change deserves an entry lives in CLAUDE.md - this command is the procedure for writing the entry once you know it belongs.

Step 1: Decide whether an entry is warranted

  • User-facing changes (new features, bug fixes, behavior changes, UI changes) get an entry.
  • Internal refactors, code style changes, and documentation-only changes do not - unless they affect the user.
  • Changes to CLAUDE.md and the command files are invisible to users - never mention them.

If nothing user-facing changed, say so and stop.

Step 2: For a fix, verify the bug shipped

Entries describe changes relative to the latest release tag, not intermediate commits.

  • Before writing a fix entry, run git log (and compare against the latest vX.Y.Z tag) to confirm the bug existed in the latest release.
  • If the bug was introduced and fixed within the current unreleased period, it gets no entry - the user never saw it.

Step 3: Write the entry

  • Add it under the ## [Unreleased] section, grouped by: Added, Changed, Fixed, Removed (create the subheading only if it does not exist yet).
  • Write from the user's perspective - what changed and why it matters, not how the code changed.
  • One bullet per logical change; keep it to a single concise sentence.
  • When a change implements a GitHub Discussion or resolves a GitHub Issue, link it in the entry text, e.g. - [Feature name](https://github.com/jens-duttke/usage-monitor-for-claude/discussions/12) - description

Step 4: Confirm

Show the added entry (or entries) and which group each landed in. Do not commit - suggest /commit-message when ready.

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.
