databasement: Skill for Claude Code

.ai/skills/changelog/SKILL.md

changelog is a skill for Claude Code from David-Crty/databasement. It costs 70 tokens per session (1,762 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-note writing procedure that reads Git history and updates CHANGELOG.md, the file that records changes shipped in each software release. It groups entries by minor version and patch release.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a release to review and write entries from commits since the previous version tag, then commit and push the result.
Why use it?
It turns technical commit messages into release notes that operators can understand and limits the change to the changelog.

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 29d 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 — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Changelog

You maintain CHANGELOG.md at the repository root: the commits since the last tag go in as entries an operator understands, filed under the minor version of the release being cut. Nothing else in the repository may change.

Context

  • Version being released: $ARGUMENTS (required, x.y.z)
  • Branch: !git branch --show-current
  • Last tag: !git describe --tags --abbrev=0 --match 'v*'
  • Working tree (empty means clean): !git status --porcelain
  • Today: !date +%Y-%m-%d
  • Commits since the last tag (empty means there is nothing to release):

!git log HEAD --not --tags --no-merges --format='%h %s%n%b%n---'

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or is not an x.y.z version, stop and say Usage: /changelog x.y.z. There is no other mode.

File format

One section per minor version, not per patch. Every entry is prefixed with the patch release that shipped it, in backticks. Entries are grouped by section, newest patch first inside each:

## [1.7] - 2026-09-05

### Added

- `1.7.9` Snapshots can carry a free-text comment ([#522](https://github.com/David-Crty/databasement/pull/522))
- `1.7.0` A backup configuration can target several storage volumes ([#478](https://github.com/David-Crty/databasement/pull/478))

### Fixed

- `1.7.10` A form that fails validation scrolls the first invalid field into view ([#598](https://github.com/David-Crty/databasement/pull/598))

The heading date is the date of the newest patch in that minor. There is no ## [Unreleased] section: the file only ever describes released versions.

Link references sit at the end of the file, one per minor spanning the previous minor's newest tag to this minor's newest tag:

[1.7]: https://github.com/David-Crty/databasement/compare/v1.6.12...v1.7.10
[1.6]: https://github.com/David-Crty/databasement/compare/v1.5.6...v1.6.12

The app renders this file as Markdown at /changelog and docs/scripts/sync-changelog.js publishes it as a documentation page, so keep the shape above: ## [minor] - date headings, ### Section groups, - `x.y.z` entry bullets, and the link references (which turn each heading into a link to the compare view).

Changes

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.
