Automated safety checks
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

About this skill
What it does
The docs-changelog skill helps users generate and manage changelogs for documentation, making it easier to track updates, improvements, and bug fixes over time. It can automatically parse version history from code repositories or existing documentation files.
When to use it
- You need to maintain a clear record of changes made to software or documentation.
- You're preparing a release note for a new version of an application or library.
- Your team wants to automate the process of updating changelogs during development cycles.
Key capabilities
- Parses version history from code repositories (e.g., Git logs).
- Generates structured changelog entries with dates, versions, and descriptions.
- Supports integration with documentation platforms like GitHub Pages or Read the Docs.
Example prompts
- "Generate a changelog for the last three releases of our project."
- "Parse the commit history from the 'develop' branch and format it as a changelog."
- "Create a markdown changelog file based on the latest version tag."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure your repository has proper version tags or commit messages for accurate parsing.
- This skill works best with projects that follow semantic versioning (SemVer) conventions.
