changelog-python-cliff-skill

changelog-python-cliff-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from darellchua2/opencode-config-template. It costs 28 tokens per session (2,560 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release-note workflow for Python projects that uses git-cliff to build a CHANGELOG.md from Git history and supports PEP 440, Python’s standard version format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing Python releases, configuring git-cliff, or connecting changelog generation to CI/CD and versioning tools.
Why use it?
It removes the need to write release notes by hand and helps keep version information and changelogs consistent.

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-python-cliff-skill 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 1mo 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 I do

I implement automated changelog generation for Python projects using git-cliff:

  1. Detect Python Project: Identify version source (pyproject.toml, __init__.py, setup.py, setup.cfg)
  2. Verify git-cliff: Check if git-cliff is installed and configured
  3. Configure cliff.toml: Generate Python-specific configuration with PEP 440 version support
  4. Generate Changelog: Run git cliff to produce changelogs from conventional commits
  5. Integrate with Release Workflow: Support bump-my-version, semantic-release, or manual versioning

When to use me

Use this workflow when:

  • You need to generate or update a CHANGELOG.md for a Python project
  • You are preparing a release and want an automated changelog
  • You want to configure git-cliff for a Python project with PEP 440 versioning
  • You need CI/CD integration for changelog generation in Python projects
  • You are using conventional commits and want structured release notes

Prerequisites

  • Python project with git repository
  • git-cliff installed (cargo install git-cliff or download from releases)
  • Conventional commits in git history (see git-semantic-commits skill)
  • Version defined in pyproject.toml, __init__.py, setup.py, or setup.cfg

Steps

Step 1: Detect Python Project

Verify this is a Python project and identify the version source:

[ -f pyproject.toml ] && echo "pyproject.toml found"
[ -f setup.py ] && echo "setup.py found"
[ -f setup.cfg ] && echo "setup.cfg found"
find . -name "__init__.py" -path "*/src/*" -o -name "__init__.py" -path "*/pkg/*" | head -5

Extract the current version:

grep -oP 'version\s*=\s*"\K[^"]+' pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null
grep -oP '__version__\s*=\s*"\K[^"]+' src/**/__init__.py 2>/dev/null

Step 2: Verify git-cliff Installation

Check if git-cliff is available:

git cliff --version

If not installed, guide installation:

cargo install git-cliff
# or download binary from https://github.com/orhun/git-cliff/releases

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.
