memstack-development-changelog-generator

memstack-development-changelog-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cwinvestments/memstack. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,105 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A changelog is a record of what changed between software releases. This skill turns existing Git commit history—the saved record of code changes—into a formatted CHANGELOG.md file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate or update release notes from a selected range of commits, such as changes since the last version tag or a particular date.
Why use it?
It saves time when preparing release notes and organizes technical changes into a document that users and developers can read. It keeps this task separate from simply viewing Git history or writing commit messages.

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

memstack-development-changelog-generator 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 yesterday.

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.

Changelog Generator: Generating changelog...

Produces a formatted CHANGELOG.md from git commit history, grouped by type and ready for release.

Activation

Trigger Status
User says "generate changelog" or "update changelog" ACTIVE
User says "what changed" or "release notes" ACTIVE
User says "write changelog" or "changelog since" ACTIVE
User wants to view git log only NOT this skill: use git commands directly
User wants a diary entry NOT this skill: use Diary

Context Guard

  • Do NOT use for session logging (that's Diary)
  • Do NOT use for commit message writing (that's a git workflow)
  • Do NOT use for PR descriptions (that's a git workflow)
  • This skill ONLY produces CHANGELOG.md content from existing commits

Steps

Step 1: Determine the range

Ask the user or infer from context:

Parameter Default Example
Since tag/date Last tag or last 7 days v3.3.0, 2026-03-01
Until HEAD v3.4.0, HEAD
Format Keep a Changelog Conventional, custom
# Find the last tag
git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "No tags found"

# Get commits since last tag (or date)
git log --oneline --no-merges $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null || echo "HEAD~50")..HEAD

Step 2: Categorize commits

Parse each commit message and classify by prefix:

Prefix Category Changelog Section
feat: / feature: Features ### Added
fix: / bugfix: Bug Fixes ### Fixed
docs: Documentation ### Changed
refactor: Refactoring ### Changed
perf: Performance ### Changed
test: Tests (omit unless user requests)
chore: / build: / ci: Maintenance (omit unless user requests)
BREAKING CHANGE or !: Breaking ### Breaking Changes
No prefix Uncategorized ### Other

Step 3: Generate the changelog entry

Follow Keep a Changelog format:

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.
