Run a nightly sweep that keeps an existing repo's docs and changelog from rotting: diff the code since the last run, bring the docs for the changed surface back in line with the implementation, append every user-relevant change to CHANGELOG.md (or record a no-change night), and open ONE reviewable PR — never auto-merging. Scheduled to survive laptop-off via a cloud routine / Desktop scheduled task, NOT a session-scoped loop. Use when you want docs and the changelog kept current automatically…

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

# nightly-docs-and-changelog

> **A configuration of [`loop-controller`].** That skill supplies the loop
> machinery — primitive selection, the full guardrail stack, state
> externalization. This skill supplies the three things specific to "keep an
> existing repo's docs+changelog from rotting on a nightly cadence": the
> **per-night recipe** (it diffs since the last run and authors the doc +
> changelog updates for that surface itself, following the documentation
> conventions [`docs-agent`] defines — docs-agent is the orchestrator's
> build-phase role and is not user-invocable on a schedule), the
> **mechanical proof** (docs match the changed surface AND every user-relevant
> change is recorded, ending in a reviewable PR), and the **HITL boundary** (it
> opens a PR and stops — it never merges docs). Read `loop-controller` for the
> guardrails; they're inherited, not repeated here.
>
> **Why `disable-model-invocation`:** this loop edits docs, writes the changelog,
> commits, and opens a PR on its own, on a schedule. It is user-scheduled — you
> *set it up* once (or type `/nightly-docs-and-changelog`), not have Claude

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ivy00johns/skill-madness/nightly-docs-and-changelog@sha256:3c31ed121f580181

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, 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.
