app-store-changelog

app-store-changelog is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 20 tokens per session (738 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release-note generator that reads Git history, the record of changes in a code project, since the last version tag and turns user-visible changes into App Store text. App Store release notes are the “What’s New” messages shown with a mobile app update.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps group changes as new, improved, or fixed and write short release bullets that trace back to actual commits.
Why use it?
It removes the need to turn technical commit messages into clear customer-facing summaries by hand. It also filters out internal work such as refactoring and build changes.

About the project

AAS Core is a local control plane for coding agents that lets them search a large catalogue of skills, choose a stack, validate it, and create a reproducible plan. It is used to assemble and review agent workflows through its CLI, local MCP server, catalogue, plugins, and Workbench. The catalogue add-ons provide the skills, plugins, bundles, and workflows that AAS Core helps agents select and validate.

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

app-store-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/collect_release_changes.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

App Store Changelog

Overview

Generate a comprehensive, user-facing changelog from git history since the last tag, then translate commits into clear App Store release notes.

When to Use

  • When the user asks for App Store "What's New" text or release notes from git history.
  • When you need to turn raw commits into concise, user-facing release bullets.

Workflow

1) Collect changes

  • Run scripts/collect_release_changes.sh from the repo root to gather commits and touched files.
  • If needed, pass a specific tag or ref: scripts/collect_release_changes.sh v1.2.3 HEAD.
  • If no tags exist, the script falls back to full history.

2) Triage for user impact

  • Scan commits and files to identify user-visible changes.
  • Group changes by theme (New, Improved, Fixed) and deduplicate overlaps.
  • Drop internal-only work (build scripts, refactors, dependency bumps, CI).

3) Draft App Store notes

  • Write short, benefit-focused bullets for each user-facing change.
  • Use clear verbs and plain language; avoid internal jargon.
  • Prefer 5 to 10 bullets unless the user requests a different length.

4) Validate

  • Ensure every bullet maps back to a real change in the range.
  • Check for duplicates and overly technical wording.
  • Ask for clarification if any change is ambiguous or possibly internal-only.

Commit-to-Bullet Examples

The following shows how raw commits are translated into App Store bullets:

Raw commit message App Store bullet
fix(auth): resolve token refresh race condition on iOS 17 • Fixed a login issue that could leave some users unexpectedly signed out.
feat(search): add voice input to search bar • Search your library hands-free with the new voice input option.
perf(timeline): lazy-load images to reduce scroll jank • Scrolling through your timeline is now smoother and faster.

Internal-only commits that are dropped (no user impact):

  • chore: upgrade fastlane to 2.219
  • refactor(network): extract URLSession wrapper into module
  • ci: add nightly build job

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
