contributing

contributing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HugoRCD/evlog. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,692 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A contribution guide for evlog, a software repository, covering its rules for commits, pull requests, release notes, tests, and new integrations. It says the repository's AGENTS.md file is the source of truth for current details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding an evlog adapter, enricher, framework integration, or map rule, preparing a pull request, choosing commit wording, or deciding whether a changeset and tests are required.
Why use it?
It gives contributors the checks and conventions needed before submitting a change, reducing avoidable review or merge problems.

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

contributing 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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Contributing to evlog

The repository's own AGENTS.md is the source of truth for all of this. It changes; this skill does not restate it in full on purpose. Read AGENTS.md from the repo before giving specifics.

Your system context has a Workspace section saying whether the repository is checked out on this turn. With a checkout, read_file /workspace/AGENTS.md: free, and at the ref you were summoned on. Without one, github__getFileContent on AGENTS.md at the root of HugoRCD/evlog.

What follows is the shape of the answer, so you know what to look for and what to warn about.

The parts people get wrong

  • A changeset is required for anything a consumer of evlog would notice: a feature, a bug fix, a breaking change. pnpm changeset, committed alongside the code. Changes confined to apps/* or examples/* never need one. A PR without a changeset for a user-facing change does not merge.
  • Conventional Commits, lowercase subject. feat: add stream server, not feat: Add stream server. Omit the scope when the change is cross-cutting; never use evlog as a scope. A new subsystem needs its scope registered in both .github/workflows/semantic-pull-request.yml and .github/pull_request_template.md, and because title validation reads the base branch, that registration has to land in an earlier PR.
  • The scope list is a closed set, and you read it before you write the title. .github/workflows/semantic-pull-request.yml holds the only scopes CI accepts. Anything else fails Validate PR title, and a scope that merely sounds plausible (evlog, the package name, the app directory) is the usual way that happens. A change confined to apps/docs is docs:, with no scope: docs is already the type.
  • A bug fix needs a failing regression test first, then the fix.
  • New exports go in packages/evlog/package.json (exports and typesVersions) and tsdown.config.ts.
  • Skills must stay in sync. If a change touches something a skill documents, the SKILL.md changes in the same PR, both the internal .agents/skills/ and the published skills/.

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.
