changelog-assembly

changelog-assembly is a skill for Claude Code from sigistry/marketplace. It costs 70 tokens per session (891 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for turning Git history into readable changelogs and release notes. It groups commits by user-facing change, such as new features, fixes, removals, and security updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assemble an Unreleased section or release notes from a commit range, including breaking changes, issue or pull-request links, and comparison links.
Why use it?
Raw commit history may contain duplicates, work-in-progress messages, and technical wording that users cannot easily understand. This process produces a clearer summary of what changed.

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-assembly 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 8d 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.

Changelog Assembly

Purpose

Provide a consistent, repeatable methodology for converting raw git history, whether or not it follows Conventional Commits, into release notes and changelog entries that a human reader actually benefits from. Covers classification, grouping, de-duplication, audience-appropriate phrasing, linking, and the Unreleased section. Tech-agnostic.

The assembly pipeline

  1. Collect the commit range (<last-tag>..HEAD, or an explicit range). Exclude merge commits from the entry list; mine them only for PR numbers.
  2. Classify each commit into a Keep a Changelog category. If the message is conventional, map the type; if not, infer from the diff.
  3. De-duplicate & fold: collapse "fix typo", "wip", and follow-up commits into the logical change they belong to.
  4. Rephrase each surviving item into user-facing language: describe the observable effect, not the code mechanics.
  5. Order by category (Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security) and by impact within each.
  6. Elevate breaking changes into a prominent callout at the top.
  7. Link PR/issue references and add compare links.

Category mapping

Conventional type Keep a Changelog category Notes
feat Added New capability
fix Fixed Bug fix
perf Changed Behavior/characteristics changed
refactor usually omitted Internal; include only if user-observable
docs/test/ci/build/chore usually omitted Internal unless user-facing
any ! / BREAKING CHANGE: Changed/Removed + top callout Always surfaced
dependency CVE bump Security Even if labeled chore/build

Inferring type from non-conventional history

When the message is uninformative, read the diff:

Diff signal Category
New files / new public exports / new endpoints / new flags Added
Deleted exports / endpoints / flags / files Removed
@deprecated markers, deprecation notices Deprecated
Changed defaults, signatures, output shape Changed
Bug-fix pattern (guard added, off-by-one, null check) Fixed
Auth hardening, input sanitization, dependency vuln bump Security

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.
