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 svenja-dev/claude-code-skills at 4771c8e872.

    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 svenja-dev-changelog-generator skill automatically generates changelogs from commit messages. It parses a repository's commit history, extracts relevant information, and formats it into a human-readable changelog document. This can significantly reduce the manual effort required to maintain accurate release notes.

When to use it

  • Preparing for software releases: Quickly create a detailed changelog summarizing changes included in a new version.
  • Documenting project history: Automatically generate a record of all modifications made to a codebase over time.
  • Maintaining open-source projects: Provide contributors and users with clear information about the evolution of your project.
  • Automating repetitive tasks: Eliminate manual changelog creation, freeing up developers for more critical work.

Key capabilities

  • Parses commit messages from Git repositories.
  • Extracts relevant information (e.g., author, date, message) from each commit.
  • Formats the extracted data into a structured changelog document.
  • Supports various output formats (specific format not detailed in source).

Example prompts

  • "Generate a changelog for this repository."
  • "Create a release notes file summarizing commits since tag v1.0."
  • “Format these commit messages as a changelog.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to a Git repository. Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions to read the repository's history.
