To generate a changelog draft from git commits, this Skill parses commit history between two refs and buckets changes into categories like What's New and Fix using conventional commits formatting. It outputs a structured draft to stdout for you to review and manually edit before publishing.
Conventional commits formatting for release notes works by parsing commit messages and bucketing them into specific sections such as What's New, Fix, Documentation, Migration, and Other Changes. This ensures a structured and consistent changelog draft for human review.
You cannot automatically write generated changelog entries directly to CHANGELOG.md because the Skill enforces read-only guarantees on git state and files. It prints a ready-to-edit draft to stdout, guiding you to manually copy and edit the narrative sections into your file.
To extract issue references from git commits for changelog traceability, the Skill parses commit messages to find references like closes #N and #N. It surfaces these references in the generated draft, linking the changes directly to their corresponding issues for review.
The best way to draft release notes from git tags without altering repository state is to use a read-only parser that resolves version ranges between tags. This Skill generates a CHANGELOG draft in stdout while enforcing read-only guarantees on your git state and files.
You need to follow conventional commits to effectively use this changelog generator, as it relies on commit types to bucket changes into What's New, Fix, Documentation, Migration, and Other Changes. Commits not matching these types are grouped into Other Changes for manual sorting.
