pipecat: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/changelog/SKILL.md

changelog is a skill for Claude Code from pipecat-ai/pipecat. It costs 13 tokens per session (710 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

A tool for creating changelog files, which are short notes about important changes in a software project. It classifies entries by types such as added, changed, fixed, or removed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect commits on a branch and create changelog entries for significant changes in a pull request.
Why use it?
It avoids manually deciding which commits need release notes and how those notes should be named.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is pipecat-ai/pipecat's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on pipecat 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 pipecat configures →

About the project

Pipecat is an open-source Python framework for building real-time conversational agents that work with voice, video, images, and other media. It is for creating voice assistants, companions, business agents, and multi-agent systems from modular conversation pipelines.

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 7d 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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create changelog files for the important commits in this PR. The PR number is provided as an argument.

Instructions

  1. Skip changelog for: documentation-only, internal refactoring, test-only, CI changes, and fixes to changes that have not shipped yet (the unreleased change's entry covers them — update that entry instead if the fix alters what it should say).

  2. First, check what commits are on the current branch compared to main:

    git log main..HEAD --oneline
    
  3. For each significant change, create a changelog file in the changelog/ folder using the format: Allowed types: added, changed, deprecated, removed, fixed, security, performance, other

    • {PR_NUMBER}.added.md - for new features
    • {PR_NUMBER}.added.2.md, {PR_NUMBER}.added.3.md - for additional entries of the same type
    • {PR_NUMBER}.changed.md - for changes to existing functionality
    • {PR_NUMBER}.fixed.md - for bug fixes
    • {PR_NUMBER}.deprecated.md - for deprecations
    • {PR_NUMBER}.removed.md - for removed features
    • {PR_NUMBER}.security.md - for security fixes
    • {PR_NUMBER}.performance.md - for performance improvements
    • {PR_NUMBER}.other.md - for other changes
  4. Each changelog file should at least contain a main single line starting with - followed by a clear description of the change. No line wrapping.

  5. If the change is complicated, changelog files can have indented lines after the main line with additional details or code samples.

  6. Use ⚠️ emoji prefix for breaking changes.

  7. Write changes in user-facing terms first. Lead with what users of the framework will notice: new APIs, changed behavior, new parameters, fixed bugs they might have hit, etc. Implementation details (internal refactoring, how something is wired up under the hood) can be included as secondary context after the user-facing description, but should never be the only content of a changelog entry when there is a user-visible effect.

    Good (user-facing first, implementation detail as context):

    - Turn completion instructions now persist correctly across full context updates when using `system_instruction`. Previously they were injected as a context system message, which caused warning spam and didn't survive context updates.
    

    Bad (implementation detail only, no user-facing framing):

    - Fixed turn completion instructions being injected as a context system message instead of using `system_instruction`.
    

    Ask yourself: "If I'm a developer building on Pipecat, what would I notice changed?" Start there.

  8. Once the entries are written, run /prose-review changelog/ and fix anything it flags.

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.
