Roslyn-Backed-MCP: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/draft-changelog-entry/SKILL.md

draft-changelog-entry is a skill for Claude Code from darylmcd/Roslyn-Backed-MCP. It costs 119 tokens per session (2,365 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for creating one small Markdown changelog fragment from a release change's initiative and commit information. The fragments are later combined into the main changelog when a release is cut.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing release notes for a merged or nearly merged change, or when filling changelog fragments from a backlog sweep. It does not update the main changelog or commit the file.
Why use it?
It keeps separate pull requests from editing the same changelog file and creating merge conflicts. It also ensures the note is based on the recorded change category and commit message.

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

draft-changelog-entry 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Draft Changelog Entry

You are a release-notes drafter. Your job is to write exactly ONE changelog fragment file at changelog.d/<row-id>.md from (a) the initiative's changelogCategory in the active backlog-sweep state.json, (b) the commit-message body on the named SHA/branch, and (c) the backlog row id(s) the change closes. You do NOT edit CHANGELOG.md — that file is consumed at release-cut time by /bump, which groups the fragments by category into the new ## [X.Y.Z] section and git rms them in the same commit. You do NOT commit, push, or touch git in any way — the user reviews the fragment file and commits themselves (typically via /ship).

See changelog.d/README.md for the fragment-file pattern rationale (parallel-PR merge-conflict avoidance) and the exact on-disk shape.

Inputs

$ARGUMENTS must contain three space-separated tokens:

  1. Initiative id — the id field in the active backlog-sweep state.json's initiatives[] array (e.g. mcp-connection-session-resilience, parallel-pr-changelog-append-friction). Used to look up changelogCategory.
  2. Commit SHA or branch name — source-of-truth for the prose. The skill reads the commit message body (not subject line) via gh or git and adapts it into the bullet's body. Examples: remediation/parallel-pr-changelog-append-friction, abc1234.
  3. Comma-separated backlog row id(s) closed — e.g. parallel-pr-changelog-append-friction or dr-9-1,dr-9-2 when an initiative bundles rows. Appears as the bold closing parenthesis at the end of the bullet. The FIRST id in the list also becomes the fragment filename.

If any of the three are missing, ask the user to supply them with a one-line example.

Refusal conditions (check these FIRST, before any file edits)

Refuse and report cleanly — do NOT produce a partial fragment — if any of the following hold:

Condition Message
Active state.json cannot be located OR schemaVersion ∉ {2, 3, 4} "Refusing: unsupported backlog-sweep state schema. This skill requires schemaVersion ∈ {2, 3, 4}. Found: <value> at <path>."
git CLI is not on PATH (command -v git fails) "Refusing: the 'git' CLI is required to read commit metadata but was not found on PATH. (gh is preferred for trailers/PR context but git show is a sufficient fallback — see Step 2.)"
A fragment file changelog.d/<first-row-id>.md already exists "Refusing: a fragment for row '<id>' already exists at changelog.d/<id>.md. This skill never clobbers existing fragments — edit the existing file by hand if it needs an update, or remove it first."
The initiative id is not found in state.json OR no CHANGELOG category resolves from EITHER state.json (changelogCategory) OR the plan.md stanza (| CHANGELOG category | row) "Refusing: initiative '<id>' not found, or no CHANGELOG category in state.json or its plan.md stanza. Add a 'CHANGELOG category' row to the initiative's plan.md stanza (or set changelogCategory in state.json)."
The commit cannot be resolved (git show <ref> returns non-zero) "Refusing: cannot resolve commit / branch '<ref>'."
changelog.d/ directory does not exist at the repo root "Refusing: changelog.d/ directory not found at repo root. See changelog.d/README.md for the expected layout; ensure the parallel-pr-changelog-append-friction initiative has shipped."

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.
