claudeframework: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/changelog/SKILL.md

changelog is a skill for Claude Code from dixus/claudeframework. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,965 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for writing the changelog file belonging to the current ticket branch. The file records changes and any manual deployment steps needed for that ticket.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before committing or pushing ticket work to record database scripts, route changes, cache flushes, or other manual steps for release notes.
Why use it?
It prevents deployment instructions from being missed when you work without the project's full shipping process.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

This is dixus/claudeframework's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on claudeframework 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 claudeframework configures →

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Write the per-ticket changelog for the current branch: changelog/<working-branch>.md.

One file per branch — not a shared CHANGELOG.md — so changelog updates never conflict on the main branch.

Why this skill exists

/ship writes the changelog as Step 5b. When you work without /ship, it never gets written, and three things fail silently:

  • The work item's "manual steps required" flag (if the project's tracker has one) is derived from the ## Manual Steps section. No changelog → the flag stays unset even when the ticket needs a DB script, a routing change or a cache flush.
  • The tracker comment that mirrors those steps into the work item is never posted. Deployers then find them neither in the repo nor in the ticket.
  • /release-notes aggregates every changelog's ## Manual Steps into releases/<quarter>.md. A missing changelog means a missing entry — the person deploying never learns the step exists.

In all three cases a missing changelog is indistinguishable from "this ticket needs no manual steps". Nothing turns red. It surfaces when a deployment fails.

Step 1 — Determine the target file

Normal case: changelog/<working-branch>.md, using the full branch name.

changelog/1234.Improvement.Api.ChatSecureDefaults.md

PRD-mode: if $ARGUMENTS names a spec, or the branch is an epic branch hosting several PRDs, write changelog/<spec-name>.md instead (e.g. changelog/prd07-document-upload.md). An epic branch carries many PRDs as separate commits over weeks; a per-branch filename would overwrite each prior PRD's changelog. The spec name is unique per PRD and already used as the spec filename.

Idempotent: if the file exists, overwrite it with the current state. Never append, never create a second file.

Step 2 — Resolve ticket context from the branch

git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD

Parse with the convention from .claude/rules/branch-management.md if the project defines one. The framework default:

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.
