How The Lossless Group writes and structures changelog/ entries across all repos (projects, true monorepos, pseudomonorepos). Use whenever shipping or pushing a coherent chunk of work, when scaffolding a new repo's changelog/ directory, when authoring a product release message, when the user says "log this", "write a changelog", or "ship note", or when reviewing a changelog/ file. Also fires when the user drops screenshots for an entry or the work being logged is visual — composes with…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Changelog Conventions > **The single most important rule: it exists.** Everything else is refinement. Every Lossless repo at every level (project, true monorepo, pseudomonorepo) should have a `changelog/` directory at the root, parallel to `context-v/`. Entries are written when meaningful chunks of work ship — or at least when they push. **Changelog First Development** is a working Lossless theory: a fast-moving, meaningful changelog signals momentum to clients, audiences, contributors, and your own future self.

How to install
mdr add lossless-group/lossless-agent-skills/changelog-conventions@sha256:cdfe41f8b2917027The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.96a22ab, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
