In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update a service or application changelog from commits such as new features, bug fixes, documentation changes, refactoring, and tests.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of reviewing commits and sorting them into consistent sections. It also helps make breaking changes visible to people using or maintaining the project.

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

pdlc-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 15d 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.

更新变更日志

⛔ IRON LAW · 不可违反的硬门禁(工具型命令)

本命令不是主链路上的阶段:不追加 history,不改 current_stage / next_step / last_phase_result,也不为此分配功能ID。以下规则不可协商:

  1. 文件必须落盘:正文要求创建的文件必须作为实际文件写入磁盘,不可仅在对话中输出(只要求在对话里输出的,照正文办)。
  2. 自检必须执行:产出后按本命令的自检项逐项核对,不得以"已经很好了"为由跳过。
  3. 防循环:修复只做一次,不递归。修不了的问题记进报告,继续往下走。

违反任一条 = 立即中止当前命令,输出违规详情,等待人工介入。

根据最近的 git 提交记录,更新指定服务或应用的 CHANGELOG.md。

工作流程

  1. 运行 git log 查看最近的提交记录
  2. 按约定式提交分类:feat / fix / docs / chore / refactor / test
  3. 更新对应服务/应用的 CHANGELOG.md,使用 本 skill 目录下的 assets/changelog-template.md 作为格式与分节模板
  4. 遵循 Keep a Changelog 格式

分类规则

  • 新增(Added): feat 类型的提交
  • 修复(Fixed): fix 类型的提交
  • 变更(Changed): refactor 类型的提交
  • 移除(Removed): 删除功能相关的提交
  • 文档(Docs): docs 类型的提交

要求

🌐 Output language for generated artifacts

All generated artifacts (PRDs, design docs, code comments, review reports, test plans, deployment manuals, changelog entries, etc.) follow this policy:

  1. Default — match the conversation language exactly:

    • 用户用中文与 Claude 对话 → 产中文文档、中文代码注释、中文报告
    • User talks to Claude in English → produce English artifacts
    • User talks in another language → produce artifacts in that language
    • Never silently default to a fixed language regardless of the user's input.
  2. Explicit override always wins: when the user specifies a language for an artifact (e.g. "write the PRD in English", "用英文写 API 设计文档", "output the deploy doc in Japanese"), use that language for that artifact, regardless of conversation language.

  3. Mixed-language requirements: if the user wants some artifacts in one language and others in a different language (common: Chinese PRD + English API docs for partners), honour each per-artifact instruction.

  4. Uncertain: if you cannot reliably detect the conversation language, ask once before producing the first artifact.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
