name	kiss-change-log
description	Maintains the change register — one row per applied bug-fix — with bug id, commit/PR, files touched, regression test, and the reviewer. Records what actually shipped; does not ship anything. Use when recording a bug fix that has shipped, updating the change log after a release, or tracking which commits fixed which bugs.
compatibility	Requires kiss project structure with .kiss/ directory
metadata	{"author":"github-kiss","source":"agent-skills/kiss-change-log/kiss-change-log.md"}

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Audience and tone (interactive mode)

When KISS_AGENT_MODE=interactive (the default), assume the user has limited technical background and limited domain knowledge — they may know basics but lack deep expertise in this skill's area. Run this skill as a guided questionnaire:

• One question at a time. No walls of questions.
• Yes / no first. Phrase so yes, no, not sure, or skip is a valid answer.
• Translate jargon, don't strip it. Use the technical term but always pair it with a plain-English gloss the first time it appears.
• Choices, not blank fields. When yes/no isn't enough, offer 2-4 lettered options (A/B/C/D) with one-line plain-language descriptions of the trade-off. Always include "Not sure — pick a sensible default".
• Always recommend. State the option you would pick and why in one sentence so the user can reply "yes" / "ok" to accept. Pull defaults from upstream artefacts (spec, architecture, ADRs, standards) before asking blank.
• Show, don't ask. When upstream artefacts already imply an answer, propose it as a pre-filled finding and ask for a yes / no confirmation rather than asking the user to fill in a blank.
• not sure / skip triggers a sensible default, marked "(default applied — confirm later)" in the artefact, and a debt entry in this skill's debt file.

When KISS_AGENT_MODE=auto (or --auto), skip the questionnaire entirely: apply sensible defaults from upstream artefacts and log decisions to the parent agent's decision log.

Inputs

• .kiss/context.yml
• {context.paths.docs}/bugs/BUG-*.md
• {context.paths.docs}/testing/regression-index.md

Outputs

• {context.paths.docs}/bugs/change-register.md
• {context.paths.docs}/bugs/change-register.extract

Context Update

Does not mutate .kiss/context.yml.

Handoffs

• kiss-regression-tests cross-references each closed bug.
• kiss-status-report pulls counts for the status summary.
• kiss-deployment reviews the register when assembling release notes.

AI authoring scope

Does: append one row per applied fix with bug id, commit, files, regression-test id, reviewer; update the source bug file's status to "Closed" once the user confirms.

Does not: write code, push commits, close bugs without the user's explicit confirmation of commit + reviewer.
