paper-cranes: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/changelog/SKILL.md

changelog is a skill for Claude Code from loqwai/paper-cranes. It costs 28 tokens per session (824 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A workflow for updating a project's changelog, README, and supporting documentation from recent Git commits. A changelog is a record of notable changes between software versions or updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify undocumented feature changes, skip entries already recorded, and update the changelog and the README's What's New section.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of finding new changes and helps keep user-facing documentation aligned with the repository.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is loqwai/paper-cranes's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on paper-cranes 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 paper-cranes 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Changelog

Update docs/CHANGELOG.md, README.md, and supporting docs with new features since the last changelog commit.

Context

Current changelog: !cat docs/CHANGELOG.md 2>/dev/null || echo "(no changelog yet)"

Current README "What's New" section: !sed -n '/## What.s New/,/^## /p' README.md 2>/dev/null | head -30 || echo "(no What's New section yet)"

Last changelog commit: !git log -1 --format="%H %as" -- docs/CHANGELOG.md 2>/dev/null || echo "(never committed)"

Commits since last changelog update (excluding shaders and images): !git log $(git log -1 --format="%H" -- docs/CHANGELOG.md 2>/dev/null || echo "HEAD~50")..HEAD --no-merges --format="%h|%as|%s" -- ':!shaders' ':!public/images' ':!*.png' ':!*.jpg' ':!*.webp' ':!*.gif'

Recent merges (for PR numbers): !git log $(git log -1 --format="%H" -- docs/CHANGELOG.md 2>/dev/null || echo "HEAD~50")..HEAD --merges --oneline | head -20

Existing feature docs: !ls docs/*.md 2>/dev/null

When invoked directly (/changelog)

  1. Only add what's new: Compare the commits above against what's already in the changelog. Skip anything already documented.

  2. Focus on what a user would be excited about: New capabilities, meaningful UX improvements, and important fixes. Skip internal refactors, doc typos, CI tweaks, and code cleanup unless they change user-facing behavior.

  3. Categorize into: Features, Fixes, or Developer Experience.

  4. Write concise entries: Bold the feature name, dash, one-sentence description. Include PR numbers as GitHub links when available (e.g. [#98](https://github.com/loqwai/paper-cranes/pull/98)).

  5. Link to feature docs: If a dedicated doc exists in docs/, link the entry to it. If a new feature is significant enough to warrant its own doc, create one — keep it lean (under 60 lines), focusing on non-obvious details.

  6. Update README.md: Keep the "What's New" section near the top with the 3-5 most recent major features. This should read like highlights, not a full log — link to the changelog for the rest. Also update the Documentation table and "Fun developer features" bullets if new docs were created.

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.
