dart: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/dart-changelog/SKILL.md

dart-changelog is a skill for Claude Code from dartsim/dart. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,645 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

A workflow for deciding, writing, finalizing, or auditing changelog entries for DART. A changelog is the release-by-release record of what changed in the software.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking whether CHANGELOG.md needs an entry, drafting text, adding a pull-request link, and auditing release sections.
Why use it?
It helps keep release notes consistent, evidence-based, and appropriately detailed.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; positional $N argument; mentions Claude Code.

This is dartsim/dart's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dart itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dart configures →

About the project

DART is an open-source C++23 physics engine that simulates the movement and interactions of articulated rigid-body systems for robotics, animation, and machine learning. Researchers and developers use it for kinematics, dynamics, collision handling, constraints, and loading robot models, with C++ and Python interfaces. The catalogue add-ons support workflows built around this engine.

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

dart-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 3d 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 — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dart-changelog

Use this skill in Codex to run the DART dart-changelog workflow. The editable workflow source lives in .claude/commands/; this file is its generated adapter in the shared .agents/skills/ catalog.

Invocation

  • Claude Code: /dart-changelog <arguments>
  • Codex: $dart-changelog <arguments>

Treat the text after the skill name as $ARGUMENTS. When the workflow references $1, $2, etc., map those to the positional values supplied by the user.

Command Body

Maintain DART changelog entries: $ARGUMENTS

Purpose

dart-changelog is the reusable changelog decision and writing routine. It is usually invoked by other DART workflows when they reach a changelog decision, not directly by users.

Use it to decide whether CHANGELOG.md needs an entry, draft an entry at the right level of detail, add a PR link after publication, or audit a release section for missing or over-detailed entries. Keep style, placement, evidence, and release-note density aligned with docs/onboarding/changelog.md.

Required Reading

@AGENTS.md @docs/onboarding/changelog.md @docs/onboarding/release-roadmap.md @docs/onboarding/release-management.md

Modes

Interpret $ARGUMENTS as one of these modes when present:

  • decide: determine whether the current change needs a changelog entry and record the reason for the PR checklist/body when no entry is needed.
  • draft: write or revise the entry before a PR number exists.
  • finalize: add the PR link or adjust the entry after a PR exists, keeping the follow-up local until explicit maintainer/user approval permits a push.
  • audit: scan a release section or PR set for missing, duplicate, over-detailed, misplaced, or stale entries.
  • release-audit: alias for audit when the caller is finalizing a release section through dart-release-packaging.

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.
