slack-changelog

slack-changelog is a skill for Claude Code from Malo-T/claude-toolbelt. It costs 332 tokens per session (2,354 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that turns release changes into a draft Slack message for people outside engineering. Slack is a team messaging app, and the draft explains user-visible changes in plain language.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a ready-to-post update from one or more repositories, a version range, or a described release scope.
Why use it?
It filters out implementation details and code terms that support, sales, and operations teams may not understand.

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

slack-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 12d 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 — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slack Changelog

Turn a release into a message the rest of the company can read, not a changelog for engineers. The audience is anyone who doesn't read diffs: support, sales, ops, whoever sits in the channel. They need to know what changed for them, in plain language. Not how it was built.

The deliverable is a ready-to-post Slack message: a fixed template, a handful of bullets, one emoji each, an optional closing line, always the channel-wide mention. Not the commit log with nicer punctuation. A translation of it, filtered down to what someone outside engineering would actually notice.

Two failure modes to avoid. A technical changelog with emoji stapled on: a bullet that names a class, a status code, or a function has failed, however it's formatted. And a post sent without asking: the draft stays a draft until the user has seen it and said so.

Invocation

/slack-changelog [optional scope]

Examples:

  • /slack-changelog
  • /slack-changelog v2.4.0..HEAD
  • "écris le changelog Slack pour cette release"
  • "prépare le message pour annoncer les dernières nouveautés côté connexion"
  • "draft the Slack update for what shipped this week"

Step 1 — Resolve the scope

Know exactly which changes you're translating before you start drafting.

If the working directory holds a single repository, resolve the range the way branch-recap does: an explicit range the user named, otherwise the latest tag through HEAD (the usual release cut point), falling back to the merge-base against the closest integration branch (origin/HEAD, origin/main, origin/develop, …) when the repo carries no tags.

If the working directory holds several independent repositories (a directory grouping multiple git repos, each releasing on its own), resolve the same range logic inside each one and read every repo's diff. Treat them as one release: assume they ship together and carry a shared level of coupling, not that only one of them matters. Don't ask which repo to use. Gather all of them, and say which repos you found before reading further.

What ships with it

2 files 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.
