Install target

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 nweii/agent-stuff at 5854362cce.

    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

What it does

This skill automatically updates a changelog file based on provided commit messages. It parses commit history, extracts relevant information from commit messages (like issue numbers or feature names), and formats this into a standardized changelog entry. The resulting changelog can then be easily integrated into release notes or other documentation.

When to use it

  • Automating Release Notes: Generate a draft of your release notes by automatically pulling changes from your Git repository's commit history.
  • Maintaining Changelogs for Libraries/Projects: Keep a consistent and up-to-date changelog as you develop software.
  • Tracking Feature Development: Easily document new features and bug fixes directly from commit messages.
  • Generating Internal Documentation: Create internal documentation about changes made to a project over time.

Key capabilities

  • Parses Git commit history
  • Extracts information from commit messages
  • Formats changelog entries
  • Supports standardized changelog formats

Example prompts

  • "Update the changelog for the my-project repository."
  • "Generate a changelog entry from this commit message: 'Fixes bug #123 - Incorrect calculation of total.'"
  • "Create a draft release notes based on commits since version 1.0."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires access to the Git repository being updated. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate credentials or permissions.
  • The skill's effectiveness depends heavily on well-formatted commit messages that include relevant information (e.g., issue numbers, feature names).
