changesets

changesets is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lootlog/monorepo. It costs 42 tokens per session (723 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of changesets, MIT.

A workflow for deciding when a code change needs a changeset, a small release record that tells package users what changed and what version impact to expect. It also guides writing and checking that record.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changes to published behavior, public APIs, entry points, required services, lifecycle, or stored and transmitted data.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish consumer-visible changes from tests, documentation, and internal refactoring that normally do not need release notes.

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

changesets 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 19d 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.

Treat a changeset as the release note for the complete PR, not as a log of work performed along the way. Finalize it after the current implementation scope and focused validation are complete.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the complete diff from the merge base, including changeset files already introduced by the PR, and identify directly affected published packages.
  2. Classify impact across source types, runtime behavior, entrypoints, required services, lifecycle, and persisted or wire data.
  3. Perform the breaking audit below.
  4. Record a reason no changeset is required, or update the PR's existing changeset. Create one only when the PR does not have one. When required, read authoring.md.
  5. Validate package names, frontmatter, bump policy, and a concise consumer-facing description.

Do not include unrelated worktree changes.

PR-level consolidation

The default is one changeset file per PR. One file can name several packages and summarize several related fixes or additions. Successive prompts, commits, and subtasks within the same PR update that file. If implementation resumes after a changeset was drafted, revise it during the next finalization pass.

Use separate files only when a maintainer requests the split or the PR contains independent changes that need separate release notes.

Requirement

Create a changeset for observable runtime behavior changes, including bug fixes; exported value or public type changes; entrypoint or export-map changes; changes to required services, errors, ownership, defaults, or lifecycle; and persisted, serialization, protocol, or wire-format changes.

Tests-only changes, behavior-preserving internal refactors, documentation or JSDoc maintenance, and unpublished tooling normally do not need one. When unclear, inspect exports and consumer-visible declarations rather than inferring from source location.

Breaking Audit

A change is breaking when valid existing consumer code, configuration, or data must change to keep compiling or behaving according to the previous contract. Audit every surface:

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.
