log-changes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sergeyklay/.agents. It costs 115 tokens per session (3,742 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for maintaining a changelog, the file that records important changes between software releases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when updating CHANGELOG.md, preparing a release, reviewing changes that affect the changelog, and applying Keep a Changelog and Semantic Versioning conventions.
Why use it?
It helps decide which changes matter to users and keeps release notes in a consistent format.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

log-changes 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 5d 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 — 208 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Changelog Maintenance

The changelog records notable changes to the distributed software. Every entry must answer: "Does this change affect someone who uses, upgrades, deploys, or integrates with the project?" If not, omit it.

Write for the project's consumers, not its implementers. Infer the audience and public product surface from usage documentation: a library's supported API can be the product, while an application's internal functions are not. Readers must understand what changed without reading source code or opening the linked issue. Default to one concise sentence stating the outcome. A changelog announces a change; documentation explains how to use it. A short sentence count does not excuse a long list of reasons, conditions, or caveats. Mention a critical compatibility consequence or limitation briefly and link to documentation for instructions.

Two formats are supported: Keep a Changelog 1.1.0, the default, and the highlights format in references/highlights-format.md. Versions follow Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 or a calendar scheme. Step 1 detects both; never assume them.

Project constants

Detect the following constants from the project itself - do not ask the user unless detection fails. Inspect, in order: existing CHANGELOG.md entries, project documentation (README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/), and recent git commit messages.

Seven constants: the GitHub repository slug, the issue tracker with its base URL and key prefix, the subsystem labels, the entry unit, the bullet order within a category, the audience, and the product surface. How to detect each one, and what to fall back to when the first probe fails, is in references/project-constants.md.

Use the detected values everywhere a project key, tracker URL, or GitHub URL is needed. If a constant cannot be determined with confidence, ask the user once before proceeding. Do not guess or invent values.

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.
