changelog

changelog is a cursor rule for Cursor from afaraha8403/balakit. It costs 605 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for keeping a project’s CHANGELOG.md file up to date. A changelog is a dated list of notable changes, often used to prepare GitHub release notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps document significant additions, bug fixes, configuration or dependency changes, and removals. Entries are grouped as Features, Fixes, or Changes, with newest releases first.
Why use it?
It prevents important features, fixes, and user-facing changes from being forgotten. It also keeps unreleased work separate from published versions.

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 4d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Changelog maintenance

When to update

Update CHANGELOG.md (at project root) whenever you or the user:

  • Add a new feature
  • Ship a significant fix (bug fix that affects behavior or correctness)
  • Make a notable change (refactor, config, dependency, or UX change worth documenting)
  • Remove or deprecate something user-facing

Do not add trivial edits (typos, comment-only, formatting-only) unless the user asks.

Format (grouped by type)

  • Unreleased at top. The first section is ## [Unreleased] for changes not yet in a release.
  • Released versions below. Each release has a section ## [vX.Y.Z] or ## [X.Y.Z] (e.g. ## [v0.0.1-beta.7], ## [1.0.0]). Use the exact version string that will be tagged (with or without leading v).
  • Newest release first under Unreleased. When you cut a release, the previous [Unreleased] content can be moved under a new ## [vX.Y.Z] section.
  • Group by type. Within each version section, organize entries under three subsections: ### Features, ### Fixes, ### Changes.
  • No type prefix. Items do not need **Feature:**, **Fix:**, or **Change:** prefixes since they are grouped by section.
  • One line per item; keep text concise.

Structure:

# Changelog

## [Unreleased]

### Features
- Short description of new feature.
- Another feature.

### Fixes
- Bug fix description.
- Another fix.

### Changes
- Refactor or UX change description.

## [v0.0.1-beta.7]

### Features
- Something shipped in this version.

### Changes
- Another change.

## [v0.0.1-beta.6]
- ...

Releases and GitHub

If the project uses a tag-triggered release workflow, it typically looks in CHANGELOG.md for a section whose heading matches the pushed tag (e.g. ## [v1.2.3] or ## [1.2.3]) and uses that section as the release notes body. Add the version section before tagging so the release notes are populated; if it's missing, the release should still succeed with a default body.

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.
