changelog

changelog is a skill for Claude Code from Donchitos/Claude-Code-Game-Studios. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,451 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A changelog generator that uses Git commits, sprint reports, and game design documents to produce internal and player-facing release notes. Git is the version-control system that records changes to a codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a changelog for a version or sprint, covering new features, improvements, fixes, balance changes, and known issues.
Why use it?
It gathers change information from several project sources so release notes do not have to be written from memory. It also separates technical team notes from updates written for players.

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 2d 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 — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phase 1: Parse Arguments

Read the argument for the target version or sprint number. If a version is given, use the corresponding git tag. If a sprint number is given, use the sprint date range.

Verify the repository is initialized: run git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree to confirm git is available. If not a git repo, inform the user and abort gracefully.


Phase 2: Gather Change Data

Read the git log since the last tag or release:

git log --oneline [last-tag]..HEAD

If no tags exist, read the full log or a reasonable recent range (last 100 commits).

Read sprint reports from production/sprints/ for the relevant period to understand planned work and context behind changes.

Read completed design documents from design/gdd/ for any new features implemented during this period.


Phase 3: Categorize Changes

Categorize every change into one of these categories:

  • New Features: Entirely new gameplay systems, modes, or content
  • Improvements: Enhancements to existing features, UX improvements, performance gains
  • Bug Fixes: Corrections to broken behavior
  • Balance Changes: Tuning of gameplay values, difficulty, economy
  • Known Issues: Issues the team is aware of but have not yet resolved
  • Miscellaneous: Changes that do not fit the above categories, or commits whose messages are too vague to classify confidently

For each commit, check whether the message contains a task ID or story reference (e.g. [STORY-123], TR-, #NNN, or similar). Count commits that lack any task reference and include this count in the Phase 4 Metrics section as: Commits without task reference: [N].

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.
