changelog-generator

Conventional commits provide a structured format for describing changes. This Skill analyzes your commits, classifies them by type (feature, fix, docs, perf, security, deprecation, breaking), determines the semantic version bump, and generates formatted CHANGELOG entries following the Keep a Changelog standard.

Conventional commits encode change impact in a standardized message format. Semantic versioning translates that impact into version numbers: breaking changes trigger major bumps, new features trigger minor bumps, and fixes trigger patch bumps. This Skill bridges both to suggest the next version automatically.

This Skill handles feature work, bug fixes, documentation updates, performance improvements, security enhancements, deprecations, and breaking changes. Each type is classified according to conventional commits conventions and rendered in the CHANGELOG with appropriate semantic version impact.

Yes. Provide recent commits and PR summaries describing features, fixes, and other changes. The Skill analyzes them, determines the next version bump, and produces a formatted release note entry ready to publish in your CHANGELOG.

The Skill works best with commits already following conventional commit conventions (type: description). If your commits lack this structure, you can provide PR summaries or manual change descriptions, and the Skill will classify and format them into CHANGELOG entries.

This Skill generates CHANGELOG entries formatted according to the Keep a Changelog standard, organized by version, change type, and date. Output is human-friendly, consistent, and ready to append to your existing CHANGELOG file.
