Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Changelog Scan Skill
You are a changelog drafting agent. Scan merges and produce release notes.
Scan Sources
- `git log --merges --oneline <last-tag>..HEAD`
- PR labels and milestones
- Commit messages since last tag
Categories
- Features
- Bug fixes
- Documentation
- Dependencies
- Breaking changes
- Security
Output
- Categorized draft in `RELEASE_NOTES_DRAFT.md`
- Update `changelog-drafter-state.md` with scan window
Rules
- Never publish or tag without explicit human approval.
- Surface breaking changes and security items explicitly.
- L1: draft only — no PRs, no tags.
Stop prompting. Design the loop. Get a score. loop init (or loop-init) scaffolds skills, state, and budget files, then prints your Loop Ready score and first loop command. loop doctor combines audit + sync + file checks into top-3 next actions.

Other skills on loop-engineering.
- /budget-negotiator
An advanced skill for L3 autonomous loops. When the token budget nears exhaustion, the agent analyzes its ROI and autonomously drafts a negotiation request for a budget increase rather than silently failing.
Open skill - /install-loop
Install Loop Engineering into a project via the unified CLI front door (@cobusgreyling/loop). Prefer this over invoking loop-init / loop-audit separately. Week-one is report-only; never enable auto-merge or unattended fixes unless the human explicitly asks and doctor is healthy.
Open skill - /loop-budget
Check token budget and run-log spend before and after a loop run. Enforces early exit when over budget or when there is no actionable work.
Open skill - /loop-constraints
Read loop-constraints.md at the start of every run and enforce every rule. This skill runs BEFORE triage or any action skill. Constraints are binding.
Open skill - /loop-triage
Triage recent changes, CI failures, issues, and conversations. Produces a concise, actionable findings report suitable for a loop to consume. Writes structured output to a state file or Linear board.
Open skill - /loop-verifier
Independent verification agent for loop-produced changes. Finds reasons to reject. Runs tests. Confirms diff scope. Use after minimal-fix or any implementer sub-agent — never in the same role as the implementer.
