utility-pm-changelog-curator

utility-pm-changelog-curator is a skill for Claude Code from product-on-purpose/pm-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool that drafts public changelog entries from Git history, the record of changes in a code repository. It applies project rules about what to include and refuses to work with uncommitted changes unless told to use committed changes only.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing release notes between two version tags. It produces a draft for maintainer review rather than committing the changes itself.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of turning technical commit history into release notes. It also helps keep changelog entries consistent with repository hygiene rules.

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

utility-pm-changelog-curator 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 9d 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.

PM Changelog Curator (Dispatch Skill)

Cross-client dispatch wrapper for the pm-changelog-curator sub-agent. Detects runtime; dispatches to the native sub-agent on Claude Code; reads agents/pm-changelog-curator.md and executes inline on non-Claude clients.

When to Use

  • You are preparing a release and want a CHANGELOG draft from git log between two tags
  • You are running on a non-Claude AI client without native pm-changelog-curator sub-agent support
  • You want a draft that respects pm-skills CHANGELOG hygiene rules (no internal-notes references, no em-dashes, public paths only) without manually applying them

When NOT to Use

  • You want to commit CHANGELOG entries directly (this skill produces a draft for review, not a commit)
  • You want to review a PM artifact -> use utility-pm-critic instead
  • You want a repo-wide governance audit -> use utility-pm-skill-auditor
  • You want a full guided release flow -> use utility-pm-release-conductor (which chains to this skill at gate G2)

Instructions

Runtime detection step. Determine which AI client is invoking this skill.

If you are running in Claude Code with the pm-skills plugin installed

Invoke @agent-pm-skills:pm-changelog-curator with the user's arguments. Pass --since-tag, --target-version, --committed-only from $ARGUMENTS if present. Return the sub-agent's draft to the user.

If you are running in any other AI client

Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Gemini CLI, or any other client without native pm-skills plugin sub-agent support:

  1. Read the canonical sub-agent definition at agents/pm-changelog-curator.md
  2. Execute the system prompt body in that file as your operating instructions
  3. Run the 8-step drafting flow documented in the sub-agent definition (establish range -> read hygiene rules -> check working tree -> enumerate commits -> classify -> group -> rewrite -> determine target version -> emit draft)
  4. Apply --since-tag, --target-version, and --committed-only arguments from $ARGUMENTS
  5. Return the layered output per master plan D26 (full CHANGELOG draft + Status Summary + Status YAML)

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.
