Generate changelog entries for code changes.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 14
Breaking changes: if any, add a section under ## Unreleased in docs/en/release-notes/breaking-changes.md with Affected + Migration …
- Very specific: line 25
User-meaningful only: No internal refactors, test churn, or CI tweaks — except Lib: for SDK-facing changes.
- Distinctive: line 49
When unsure, match an existing entry of the same kind.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Generate changelog entries for changes on the current branch relative to main, then sync to the docs site.
Steps
- Inspect:
git log main..HEAD --oneline+git diff main..HEAD --stat. - Edit root CHANGELOG: add bullets under
## UnreleasedinCHANGELOG.mdusing the prefix table below. For changes scoped to a subpackage underpackages/orsdks/, also update that subpackage'sCHANGELOG.md— subpackage CHANGELOGs follow their own prefix conventions (e.g.packages/kosong/CHANGELOG.mduses provider prefixes likeKimi:/Anthropic:); only the root CHANGELOG follows the table below. - Sync English docs:
node docs/scripts/sync-changelog.mjs. - Translate to Chinese: hand-write equivalents under
## 未发布indocs/zh/release-notes/changelog.md. Use the full-width colon:. Followdocs/AGENTS.mdterminology. - Breaking changes: if any, add a section under
## Unreleasedindocs/en/release-notes/breaking-changes.mdwith Affected + Migration subsections, and under## 未发布indocs/zh/release-notes/breaking-changes.mdwith 受影响 + 迁移 subsections.
Entry format
- <Prefix>: <verb-led sentence, readable standalone> — <optional rationale / before-after / migration>- First sentence stands alone — readers should know after one sentence whether the bullet matters to them.
- One change per bullet. No
; also,; and, or nested em-dashes. Two changes = two bullets. - Verb-led:
Fix …/Add …/Switch …/Bump …. - User-meaningful only. No internal refactors, test churn, or CI tweaks — except
Lib:for SDK-facing changes.
Prefixes — pick from this list, do not invent new ones
| Prefix | Scope |
Shell | Interactive TUI: keys, status bar, slash commands, terminal rendering |
Web | kimi web |
Vis | kimi vis tracing visualizer |
CLI | Top-level flags, subcommands, --print / --yolo / --afk |
ACP | Zed / JetBrains and other ACP integrations |
Core | Agent runtime, step loop, approval, quota, turns, background tasks |
Tool | Any built-in tool; name the specific tool in the body (ReadFile, Grep, Todo, Plan, …) |
Skill | Skill discovery/loading, Flow, Loop (always singular — not Skills:) |
MCP | MCP server integration |
Plugin | Plugin system, kimi plugin subcommands |
LLM | Provider-agnostic or cross-provider; name the provider in the body (Kimi / Anthropic / OpenAI / DeepSeek …). Do not create per-provider prefixes |
Kosong | Changes to the kosong LLM abstraction layer surfaced in the root CHANGELOG (the subpackage's own CHANGELOG uses provider prefixes) |
Wire | Wire protocol events, version |
Auth | OAuth, token refresh, /login |
Config | Config schema, env vars |
Lib | SDK-facing API changes |
Build | Nix / Rust / Python / packaging |
When unsure, match an existing entry of the same kind. Prefer this list; if you genuinely need a new prefix, raise it with maintainers and update this table in the same PR so the convention stays single-sourced.
Ordering: within each version, group bullets by prefix in the order of the table above. Order within a prefix is free — keep the development order.
Highlights
Starting from the next release, add **Highlights**: … under each version header (1–3 items most users will notice); mirror it as **亮点**:… in Chinese. Skip on releases that are only internal or Lib:. Highlights summarize — every highlighted item still needs its full bullet below. Do not backfill historical versions.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
