zeroclaw: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/changelog-generation/SKILL.md

changelog-generation is a skill for Claude Code from zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw. It costs 87 tokens per session (1,696 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A release-note writing workflow for ZeroClaw, a software project. It summarizes changes between versions in a human-readable CHANGELOG file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare changelogs, release notes, and summaries of changes between a previous version and a new version.
Why use it?
It turns a range of code changes into release information that users and contributors can read. It also establishes which versions should be compared before writing.

About the project

ZeroClaw is a Rust-based runtime for running a personal AI assistant on a user's own machine, with connections to language-model providers, communication channels, and external tools. It is for people who want to operate an assistant across channels such as Discord, Telegram, email, voice, webhooks, or a command line while keeping control of its data and credentials. The catalogue add-ons provide workflows and agents for using ZeroClaw.

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-generation 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 12d 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.

ZeroClaw Changelog Generation

You are generating a human-friendly CHANGELOG-next.md for a ZeroClaw release. The GitHub CLI (gh) is available and authenticated. The local repository is checked out and up to date.


Before You Start

This SKILL.md is the full, self-contained procedure. Follow the workflow below exactly on every run; do not rely on memory of a prior run.


Invocation

Default — last stable tag to HEAD:

generate changelog
write the changelog
CHANGELOG-next
prepare release notes

Explicit range:

changelog for v0.7.2
changelog v0.7.1..v0.7.2
what changed since v0.7.1
release notes v0.7.1 to v0.7.2

Workflow

Phase 1 — Establish the range

  1. If the user provided a range, normalise to <from>..<to>: vXvX..HEAD; vX..vY → as given; vX vYvX..vY.
  2. If no range was given, resolve the last stable tag automatically. Both -beta.N (older) and -beta-N (current) pre-release formats exist, so anchor on a plain version shape rather than excluding a -beta separator:
    git tag --sort=-creatordate | grep -E '^v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$' | head -1
    
  3. Verify both refs exist (git rev-parse --verify). If either is missing, stop and tell the user what was not found.
  4. Report the resolved range to the user before continuing.

Phase 2 — Collect and categorise commits

Run all fetches in a single parallel batch — do not wait for one before starting the next:

# Full commit list with subjects (for categorisation)
git log <from>..<to> --pretty=format:"%H %h %s" --no-merges

# Full SHAs only (for contributor resolution)
git log <from>..<to> --pretty=format:"%H" --no-merges

Map each commit to a section by its conventional-commit prefix. Read and categorise prefix-less commits by content; never drop one silently.

Prefix Section
feat What's New
fix Bug Fixes
refactor, perf What's New (as "Improvements")
security, security-scoped fix What's New → Security
docs What's New → Documentation (omit trivial typos)
chore, ci, build Omit unless user-visible (install path, dropped platform)
! suffix / BREAKING CHANGE Breaking Changes (always surface)

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.
