Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned davila7/claude-code-templates at 79182c51fb.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The changelog-generator skill automates the creation of structured change logs for software projects. It analyzes code commits or project descriptions to extract meaningful updates and formats them into clear, readable release notes. This tool saves developers time by eliminating manual documentation of version history.

When to use it

  • You need to document a series of recent code commits into a single release note.
  • You are preparing a changelog for a new software version or update.
  • You want to maintain consistent formatting across multiple project releases.
  • You need to summarize technical changes for non-technical stakeholders quickly.

Key capabilities

  • Generates structured change logs from raw input data.
  • Extracts and categorizes updates, fixes, and new features.
  • Formats output into standard release note styles.
  • Reduces manual effort in version history documentation.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a changelog for the latest commit messages in this repository."
  • "Create a release note summary based on these code changes: [paste commits]."
  • "Format the following project updates into a standard changelog structure."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide clear, descriptive input data such as specific commit messages or feature lists for accurate extraction. The skill works best when given context about the software version being documented to tailor the output appropriately.
