What problem does it solve?

Manually compiling detailed changelogs from Git history, analyzing code changes, and integrating performance data is a tedious, error-prone process that delays release documentation and consumes valuable developer time.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Git & File Analysis: Extracts changes from Git history, categorizes modifications by system, and identifies affected functions/classes with line counts.
• Comprehensive Report Generation: Creates a professionally formatted Markdown changelog including an executive summary, detailed changes, performance analysis, testing summary, and an optional architect review.
• Integration with Architect & Tests: Can optionally trigger an architectural review by a dedicated agent and run relevant test suites to verify changes, integrating feedback directly into the changelog.
• Use Case: When preparing for a "World Update #3" release, use this Skill to automatically generate a detailed changelog, including performance impacts, test results, and a summary of architectural changes, saving hours of manual documentation effort.
