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 prat011/awesome-llm-skills at 35e1ea23b6.

    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

The changelog generator skill automatically creates formatted changelogs from provided commit messages or release notes. It can parse various formats and output in Markdown, reStructuredText, or other specified formats. This allows for efficient documentation of project updates and changes without manual formatting.

When to use it

  • Generate a changelog for a new software release based on Git commit history.
  • Create a summary of changes for a product update from existing release notes.
  • Automate the creation of changelogs for open-source projects, ensuring consistent documentation.
  • Quickly produce a changelog when migrating to a new versioning scheme.

Key capabilities

  • Parses Git commit messages
  • Supports multiple output formats (Markdown, reStructuredText)
  • Handles various input formats (release notes, commit history)
  • Automated formatting of changelog entries

Example prompts

  • "Generate a Markdown changelog from the last 10 commits in this repository."
  • “Create a changelog in reStructuredText format using these release notes: [paste release notes here]."
  • "Summarize changes for version 2.0 based on these commit messages."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the relevant Git repository or input text data. Ensure that commit messages are well-formatted for optimal parsing and accurate changelog generation.
