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 mitsuhiko/agent-stuff at 0865c849be.

    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 Git history, extracts relevant information from commit messages (typically following conventional commits format), and formats this into a structured changelog entry. The output can be easily integrated into existing documentation or release notes processes.

When to use it

  • Automating Release Notes: Quickly generate a draft of release notes by parsing recent Git commits.
  • Maintaining Changelog Consistency: Ensure your changelog follows a consistent format and includes all relevant changes.
  • Generating Versioned Documentation: Automatically update documentation based on the latest commit history.
  • Streamlining Development Workflow: Reduce manual effort in documenting project updates.

Key capabilities

  • Parses Git commit messages
  • Extracts information from conventional commits
  • Formats changelog entries
  • Updates existing changelog files

Example prompts

  • "Generate a changelog entry for the last 5 commits."
  • "Update the CHANGELOG.md file with changes since version 1.2.3."
  • "Create a new changelog entry from this commit message: 'fix(auth): resolve login issues'."

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill relies on conventional commits for accurate parsing; ensure your team follows the convention.
  • The skill assumes you have Git installed and configured in the environment where it's being used.
